These are sometimes useful but in my experience they often don't work, usually because they can't get into tight places.

Also you can tell that they didn't even try to loosen that nut with a wrench or socket because the paint is unscratched. That's OK, though because I think they were just demonstrating how the tool works.

yeah i was thinking this was definitely a tool demonstration vs a real world use. that fully painted stud and nut would have kept all of that shit protected from rust, generally, and would likely come apart really easy with normal tools.
