Anyone used one of these, Bolthero?

 
I am curious how robust it is. Supposedly the cats meow for getting a couple of spark plugs out of 20 year old Ford V8 pickups that like to break off. I installed a serpentine belt tensioner last week in old Saturn S that I did not remove motor mount to gain a little room . I was designing this very tool in my head and yesterday BIL sent me the link.
 
We had one similar to that for getting at bolts when doing alignments. Been so many years ago that I don't remember what vehicle it was intended for, but it was something from the 70s or early 80s. Something broke in it and the chain started slipping.
 
I purchased an inexpensive lookalike. My anticipated use will be to remove fastener after I get it broke loose. I won't be applying 50 lbs torque.
 
Some people have trouble accessing a couple of plugs on right bank near the firewall with out breaking the porcelain. I don't have a Triton V8 so don't really know. That is what I read. I imagine if you changed plugs sooner than recommended it might help too.
 
I could have used one the other day. There is a one minute video if you can find it .
