Be careful: they are certainly less appealing than quick releases or even hex nuts, but they can be unscrewed really easily with one of these. A couple years ago Pinhead started including brackets with the setup that make that method impossible, though. You can get the brackets sent to you from Pinhead if you have older ones.

Apparantly... a gator grip makes pretty short work of most locking wheen nuts according to me mate who works at a garage in hartlepool... they have to deal with people who didnt leave the socket in the car for the garage.

u/cheesepusher · 5 pointsr/shittyreactiongifs

Fair enough but because I wished to avoid doing actual work I googled the devices reviews and Mr/Ms queef is correct in the fact that this device does often easily break when presented with anything but light duty.

I accept your statement though that just because things have moving parts they aren't necessarily prone to breaking but doesn't moving parts increase the likelyhood of breaking?

well there's this thing

Just pick up a gator grip socket.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000065CJ8

That's what I use for scenarios like yours. They have them at Sears and places like that that sell tools.

I've got a Gator Grip socket, but rarely use it. It's fine, I guess, but really doesn't seem as solid as the actual-size sockets.

Never tried the B&D ReadyWrench, but I do have a couple of quad-drive ratcheting wrenches. I'm pretty pleased with them, but it does seem that more often than not, none of their eight sizes are what I actually need at that moment. I imagine if I get the SAE set, I'd use them a lot more than I do the metric.

I would make the following recommendations before resorting to welding or drilling out, or any method with a higher chance of causing damage to other parts of the motorcycle.

Edit: I looked at the picture and realize you didn't mean you ruonded off the top of the bolt, you mean that you snapped off the head. My advice below is for rounded off nuts and advice on the hex-key oil bolts. You can ignore it as your issue is a sheared off head.

Think of when you change your car oil filter. The oil filter wrench -- how does hit work? It tightens up and gets a better grip as you turn. Now think of your open-end wrench, especially if you don't have one that's a correct fit -- it grabs only two of the thin bolt head edges, and pushes on the thin tips. The worse fit your wrench is to the bolt, the finer the edge of the tip it's going to grab--and smear. Use the open end wrench ONLY as a last resort.


Get either a Loggerhead Tools Bionic Wrench or a Sears Max Axxess wrench version. Squeeze on the nut and turn. As you turn, it bites down harder. This is better than vice grips that bite once, then use small teeth like a metal file if they slip.

Note: There is a controversy, I recommend supporting buying the American Inventor tool, Loggerhead, and not Sears

Consider using a Gator Grip socket.

If any of the above give you a problem, use a hand file or a dremel to put some more solid edges on your bolt for them to grip.

Final tips: The stock bolts are fine. Get a correct fitting, box-end wrench, or a six-sided socket, and you will never have a problem (unless you smear it on a rock). There is nothing wrong with the hex key drain plugs, but note you're using a reverse box-end wrench (a six-point "bolt head") to stick into the hole. And if somehting goes wrong, you have less surface area in the hex hole to apply force to for removing them -- you'll be filing flat edges on that round bolt head so you can get one of the above tools to bite on it. Plus you'll have to carry an extra tool vs the Eagle Mike low profile that's the same bolt head size (I believe).

The hex-key fix is an "I don't know how to use tools so I get one that was dummy proofed for me" tip. The equivalent to using a box end wrench on a bolt, would be using a standard/slotted screwdriver to tighten/loosen your hex keys.

I think you're thinking of a socket not a driver bit

Anyways the gator grip broke free from the infomercials and is everywhere. I saw them cheap at pepboys. They come in handy when the bolts are not confined to small spaces.

You'll eventually want a good drill, me personally I prefer corded to cordless (I usually hate batteries). The first saw you get should be a circular saw.

A lot of these tool selections are intentionally crappy (ie: the gator grip?!?!) because it'll get the job done 90% of the time and takes up almost no space / weight, and when it doesn't do the job, you'll know immediately and will go get "the right thing".

All that junk will run you maybe $100-200, take up almost no space / weight, and will make an appreciable improvement to your life.

/r/DIY would have some good opinions too.

> I don't know why anti-theft skewers are not more common on city bikes,

Because many of them can be readily compromised with a pin socket.

u/ChrisQu · 1 pointr/motorcycles

Try a gator grip.

If that doesn't work, take it to a shop.

u/andk1987 · 1 pointr/WTF

tbh these are not much harder to get off than normal bolts to a rim thief who steals to order or has event the slightest bit of nouse, howd dya think tyre shops get em off when you lose your "key" http://www.amazon.com/Gator-Grip-ETC-200MO-Universal-Socket/dp/B000065CJ8

u/Orgell_Evaan · 1 pointr/NewProductPorn

Gator Grip; good for making rivets, but not much else.

u/mindeyesight · 1 pointr/bicycling

Are you sure that you aren't thinking of Pinheads and the Gator Grip? And even for Pinheads, apparently they have something on them now that prevents the Gator Grip for working.

u/Tack122 · 1 pointr/Cartalk

First thing I would try is getting one of these universal socket dealies and seeing if it will remove that broken socket piece.

I do not want to detract from how awesome this is, nor do I think that this is as cool as the using another hook hack in this thread, but I use one of these for this job:

Don't rely on security skewers, stuff like pinheads can be defeated really quickly with one of these. Bike thieves know it and they carry them, and security skewers help identify there is something there worth stealing.

u/pilkys_making_music · -1 pointsr/INEEEEDIT

Its called the gator grip and it seems to be a really useful tool. It's about $16 on Amazon and gets great reviews
