Not right, but then great!

I ordered this head to install a hitch receiver on my truck. When it arrived the package was marked as a 1/2" hex bit but there was a 16mm socket inside. Obviously a packaging error somewhere in the warehouse. Returning Revain was easy, they didn't even want to return the 16mm head. , so I now have one of these in my toolbox. The quality seems to be sufficient for 1 or 2 single uses. I can't offer any guides or recommendations if this is something you have to use frequently.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

This tool fits many Mercedes vehicles

Needed to change brake pads on many Mercedes/SUVs and other foreign vehicles. Only in one store they were usually transported, but it was not available. They said the Mercedes employees would come and buy them all. Mercedes service departments make money replacing discs and brakes. After I decoded the automatic parking brake, the wheel was removed and we used a hex wrench to loosen the caliper. It worked like a charm and all I had to do was buy 4 TRW brake pads - no squeak/squeak = complete…

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Misleading description - I was fooled.

It's not true! The entire tool (socket plus hex head) is actually half that length, about 2.2 inches. I chose this product because (as described) I expected and needed the extra 4.4" of clearance to access the countersunk hex screw and this short tool is useless to me. Granted, the entire package, which includes those pesky plastic holders for hanging from a store display, is of the advertised length, but lacks the tooling if you've removed the plastic backing and want to use it. Misrepresented

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure
