Default Anyone try BoltHero to remove hard to get at bolts

Reading about BoltHero chain drive extension how it really helps untorque tight clearance bolts. Anyone try it?

Never tried it...but I might buy one. If it gets you out of ONE headache, it's worth it! Now, if it had a little bit of swivel action, it'd be that much better...

I received one yesterday. Tool took awhile coming from Wyoming,USPS. I cannot see on the,packaging, covering or tool Made in the USA. The adapters seem generic maybe cast nothing special. The delivery shipping manifest I was following seems ,well not sure.? Tool may work. It almost seems like some of those stamped tools from china quality. I could be wrong.

They advertise "Founded and designed in the USA" so I'm guessing not made in USA or they would be bragging about that.

I wouldn't mind having one thou.

Just googled it,made in China with steel. They keep sending me a $10.00 credit. I think it may work but do not know how much torque the adapters will take. I'll keep it but seems you know ,china tools! The ads on net about the next best thing to whatever!!!!!!! I'm done being taken in I'll keep using my old tools and a 60" piece of pipe and a 20lb sledge,or torches.

I've seen ads for an offset wrench extension in my Feacebook news feeds. Looks similar. Looks to be able to access nuts and bolts where there is limited room to swing a ratchet or for the head of an air or electric ratchet. $15-$90 on Amazon. I'm thinking about one.
