Spring Assisted Universal Joint Review

This is a interesting idea for a universal joint, it uses a external spring to keep it straight instead of friction springs in the pivots so it operates very smoothly yet can hold a socket up to make it easier to use in awkward places.

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the channel- I always love discovering new tools. Thanks for posting!

Neat idea. (I have used electrical tape to keep swivel adapters from flopping around.)

[@markadams7597]

Wow, never seen one of these. You discover the most unusual stuff. Thanks for sharing! This bad boy makes sense, but I would have to try one in order to keep it. Great review, as always, Ty.

Nice review as always! I prefer swivel sockets over universal joints but I have and use them occasionally. They are indicative of a frustrating problem, but CAN save the day.

Slick idea! I would try them.

I thought I saw a PM logo on that universal adapter, if so it is a popular mechanics brand they used to be sold at Walmart ,Taiwan made tools

[@badcatwhite]

Yes. This is correct. I have the set which was all three sizes. Bought about 20 years ago.

Duck tape always helps and works great when your pin is falling out also.

Hey dude, I saw on the bottom of the U-joint that it said PM. That means Popular Mechanics. That's its brand.

[@Stover1928]

Great review thank you. I wonder if the letter's Pm that appear just before chrome vanadium stand for "Popular Mechanics" as the brand.

I was pretty sure I've seen everything... this, I have never seen...🤔 I have UJ's with springs but they're not on the outside like a cage like that

I saw a 1/4" spring U drive on Ebay...

[@techjdu]

I'm pretty sure it's made by Popular Mechanics.
