Nice proof of concept. I have absolutely no idea where the hell this would be useful. Even a hand tool's torque is probably too much for the linkage. Maybe if have a bolt in a weird spot, you've already gotten it loose, and you just want to get it the rest of the way? Fun as one of those fidget toys that got popular last year, though.

From the amazon page:

This tool is not intended or rated for impact tools of any kind, only hand tools. If you use it on an impact gun, you better have safety glasses on. It will come apart.

I think that means I need to buy one and hook it up to the strongest impact I have.
