The only screwdriver I bought this for was crappy

I bought this set specifically for the PacMan screwdriver. The little pin in the head was so small that he couldn't turn the screw. I ended up taking my dremel with a trimming attachment and cut a slot in the screw so I could turn it with a regular small screwdriver. Waste of money for me (maybe other screwdrivers work better).

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • unreliable

Good tool paired with D connector sold separately

I used this in conjunction with the D connector purchased separately here at Revain for less than $5. The socket snapped right into this tool and gave me a product similar to the device that Honda sells for adjusting the air adjustment screw. Honda sells its product for $80. This tool cost me about $15 including the extra D connector. This worked on my 2007 Honda VTX 1300S.

Pros
  • Tools & Housewares
Cons
  • Doubtful

Flexible but twists when turning

It seemed like it should work. I managed to get to the spot where I had to unscrew the ignition wire harness under the old car's dashboard. This flexible rod was in place and I was able to attach it to the head of the screw. But when I twisted it, the flexible part of the shaft just twisted. Before it can convert most of the turning pressure into the pressure required to loosen the screw, the screwdriver's head warps and unthreads from the head of the screw. In the end I got out differently…

Pros
  • Wrench
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

This tool can be used in very hard-to-reach places.

I unscrewed this bolt for eight hours because of the starter along the engine. It was pressed against the motor mount with this tool and a set of ball sockets that only took 30 minutes to start up was ONLY hinting enough that the short handle ratcheting ball head would get the job done.

Pros
  • The tips are stored in a pen or plastic case.
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Good tool in combination with D-Socket

I used it with a D head that I bought separately here at Revain for less than $5. tool and gave me a product similar to the air adjusting screw adjusting machine sold by Honda. Honda sells its product for $80. This tool cost me about $15 including the extra D head. It worked on my 2007 Honda VTX 1300S.

Pros
  • 11 1/2 inch Flexible Shaft, sold separately.
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions
