    the only way for us to use this is to have extremely strong wrists. so, uh, what kind of wrist exercises are available out there?

    the only way i can see this working is if you attach it to your finger at a 90 degree angle from where it's shown. that way you can apply the torque by curling your finger and just moving your arm slightly. the way it's shown would only work if you had the space to swing your arm around, in which case it'd just be easier to use a real socket wrench that also has a ratcheting mechanism.

    not really a socket, but something to hold a nut with while you thread the bolt into it. it would be useful when you are working blind under a ledge. or inside of a washing machine.

    @godwhacker:


    I think you are correct, its a nut holder (no pun intended, ... well, actually yes).


    It would be complete if there is an attachment to hold the nut at the tip of your finger.
