The hatchet/star end is very useful for light torque, undoing a bolt or placing it back without constant repositioning. Its turnable neck allows for easy reversion just by flipping the tool, and also for hard to reach higher angle bolts only accessible by extended sockets. The fit is as good as any market's tool with not too tight or too lose grip, just the same. Albeit its "glossy" finish, it doesn't just dance-slip from hands; feel very firm to use, and is slighly longer than the ordinary tool, such that if the articulated end is fully folded, it's the same length of the 13 wrench I have. Turns to about 95 degrees to each side from flat position.
