What happens here
The presenter continues by loosening the same rounded bolt with the GripEdge socket and ratchet. He then highlights that if a user needs to 'hammer forward' to loosen it and then 'hammer back' with an impact gun (implying re-tightening), the GripEdge socket is capable of both actions.
