If you roll your eyes or let out a sigh of despair every time you open your toolbox or tool drawer, prepare to meet a tiny little tool that might just be the best $12 you’ve ever spent. The Tacklife Universal Socket Adapter looks a lot like any socket you’d find in a socket set. Upon closer inspection, however, you’ll see that this particular example has 54 tiny vanadium steel pins inside. These little pins retract when you slide the socket over a bolt or nut, allowing a single socket to fit anything between 7mm and 19mm. It’s a must-have for any toolbox!
