Rust and fall apart?

Just received today Opened packaging and small parts in the photo fell out and found rust in the photo. What are these little parts for?

Pros
  • Hard wearing finish
Cons
  • There are nuances

Let's see how it holds up

The product looks new and unused but the packaging was cut open at one end when I received it as if someone had opened it and sent it back. The handle is not very firm and is not fixed very securely in the extended position. I have another one I bought years ago that looks the same but has a more secure grip. Let's see how this holds up. My old one worked great. I need another one for another car.

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Required for any workshop and/or roadside emergency kit

Forget wrenches in the car. That's the real deal. Enhanced for real leverage. I have to change wheels a few times a year and this is the best way to break the lugs so they can be unscrewed by hand. Don't use it to tighten though and make sure you loosen it in the right direction as you can apply too much torque with a retractable lever and snap the threads. I also recommend buying a good torque wrench. But the thing is great if you want to crack a stubborn nut. You can start short to reduceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Clarity

Key folds away during use

Key handle extends between stowed position and extended use position. The lever has a locking knob on the inner tube that fits into a hole on the outer tube to lock in the extended position. Unfortunately, the size of the locking button is too small for the depth of the hole, resulting in the key shank tending to fold during use. This has been observed on two units ordered so I have to conclude that this is a design flaw and not a manufacturing defect. Given the many positive reviews for theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Convenient item
Cons
  • Quick start guide

Great compact wrench

This is my second gorilla wrench. I bought my first one for my Jeep Wrangler. This one is exactly the same except for a short extension and thin walls with deep sockets. I really like adding an extension because I grabbed a short extension from my tool box to use with a wrench. The compact design is really good and when it is extended, even my wife can unscrew the nuts on the jeep. It is perfect as a spare tire for a Honda CRV. This instrument is made in Taiwan, not China. So China considersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Some little things

Great tool! Much better than the original factory iron.

Excellent key. I work a lot on my cars. Brakes, tire spins, suspension, etc. I often take off a tire or two (if not all at once) for one job or another. For years I have struggled to find sockets that match these modern day tin plated nuts. Most of the time they are deformed, dented and difficult to tighten once you put your head on them. The factory tire changer became unusable after the first or second use. It was the perfect solution. The reversible rosettes are surprisingly well made, theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Old

Skinny on Gorilla

Context: I have a full size Chevy truck and a full size Nissan sedan. Pros1) The sockets have 2 sizes in 1. The size is on both ends of the socket. It sounded weird to me at first, but the sockets fit snugly on both ends. 2) The wrench has a standard 1/2" drive, so any 1/2 drive wrench will fit the wrench. 3) The wrench can be stretched to a length, all the compression nuts should be removed, no problem. Please note: the sockets provided with the wrench will not fit a standard ratchet orโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No power

Great for tightening and breaking nuts!

I'm a little indifferent to this wrench. It is very suitable for tightening and loosening nuts. But once the nuts are loose, this tool is far from ideal for quickly loosening them. I'm pretty used to using a 4-point wrench and being able to turn the cross in the palm of my hand to quickly loosen nuts. This wrench takes a few turns to loosen the nut and then has to be unscrewed by hand. The shape and size of a wrench is great for loosening or tightening nuts, but it doesn't help loosen themโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • I won't say anything
