DOES IT WORK: Germany should stick to knives

I enjoy washing my own car and need a chamois to dry it. Like all chamois-es they need to be wet to work. The "shamwow" is NOT an especially good chamois even wet. It works kinda of, but not as good as a real leather chamois. Not a huge loss, just buy a real one.

Made in Germany? I love my knives, not my chamois

Gator Grip

DOES IT WORK? I'm required by law to say 'Yes'

It is more flexible then using a single socket or wrench, but it does have size limitation. There is a sweet spot of sizes that is this works best. Items towards the high and low end of the gator grip range seem to have problems.

It more of a "in a pinch" type of situation, when you don't have a socket wrench to fit the exact size or different shape.

DOES IT WORK?

On items such as clothing it seems to work as advertised. As with all TV products, common sense should prevail; so don't expect miracles. It's not going to hold a leg to a table or anything that really needs a screw, staple, or any other type of hardware.

In my humble opinion, it works as well as a "Gorilla glue" or most other popular 'super' glues.
