Moze Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I've never seen a review on this or even that it was released. Saw it last night in Home Depot. I didn't get one, but maybe someday when I feel like blowing $30 on something. click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moze Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 It might be gimmicky for your run-of-the-mill DIY'er but there are industries/professions where it would come in pretty handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Is it made of metal or plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Quick lube guys love these things, will work on any drain plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 You guys know that as a hand tool purist I loath the idea of any tool that puts other capable tools out of work, but this thing would have its place. You won't go down to your local dealership service garage and find one sitting proudly in a Snap-On roller, but you will find them in the tool belts of carpenters, maintenance guys, and other trades were use of drive tools is unspecific and infrequent.

I have run into a lot of times where I am working on a neighbors house and running back and fourth to the tool box. Now I want one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is kinda on the bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter4187 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I had to take my moms car to the shop, and saw a tech pull out a dog bone for an oil change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Chase are you talking about a socket wrench or a dog bone. If it the dog bone that's awesome. I don't even know the last time I saw someone use a dog bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I do see it being useful if you work at a service shop. You won't need to have multiple wrenches nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe M Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'll be honest these were dogs in terms of sellers, see them coming to a clearance section near you. Look its already now only twenty bucks lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 That may be the only worthwhile use for a dog bone wrench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
