I used to say the same and THAT was the exact reason I originally bought and still usually use the grappler (I have the matco version) BUT I was trying with the more common 5lb slide that comes in the 9-way or 10-way kits by various brands (mine's OTC). I finally bought OTC's 10lb slide like Eric O is using and it makes the job MUCH easier. I can't slam'em out in three hits like 'flat-rate-master' does, but the 5-6 hit range like Eric routinely does isn't out of the ordinary. Honestly I just do prefer using the Grappler BUT not every knuckle has spots on it where I feel comfortable using it. I'll grab the slide any time I think I might wind up mangling the backing plate with the Grappler.
