1" Breaker Bar Recommendation

[baugh009]

It may be overkill, but just bought a small set of 1" impact sockets for use on my sick tractor. Does anyone have a recommendation on a Asian-made, 1" beaker bar? (I predominately have American-made tools; however, I just can't justify the extra cost, here.) I have been looking at Capri, but, upon searching, cannot find any reviews/feedback on them. Thanks

And if I were you I'd keep an eye out for a torque multiplier. (I have the Snap on one. it's a rebrand. works great) https://store.snapon.com/Geared-Head-Multipliers-X4-Models-C675248.aspx

And one day get a Swench Wrench. (I have one as well. Not used often, but it's an *** kicker) http://www.powerhawk.com/products_swench.html

I would check craigslist as well, you may end up with a used USA made one.

This is what we have at work, they held up thus far and aren't as expensive as the 1" drive breaker bars.

I bought the 1" drive sliding t-bar off the mac truck. It is there expert line and it was $60. I don't own any 1" drive sockets but the shop.does and iit gives less than a 3/4 drive withan adaptore on it.

Go on eBay. I bought my 3/4" SK ratchet and Williams breaker bar off there for less than $50 total. You can find a used 1" that will be stronger and better then a Taiwan.

I have a Proto 27" long part # 5868 1" breaker bar for sale sending you a PM.

Titan would be your best bet.

I have the Titan tools 1'' drive breaker bar. it is 40'' long. I believe it is rated for close to 2000 ftlbs of torque. it weighs about 10 lbs. very heavy duty in my opinion. runs about 70.00 bucks.

I have a set of extra long titan ratchets. Perdominately use the 1/2 inch to turn over engines without the turn over sockets when doing valve clearences. Never had a problem with any of them.

Thank you all for your input. My apologies to bluebolt: I don't think that I ever go back to you. Have been playing nanny to my three young grand children. (Also, I have been diagnosed as an adult ADD (attention deficit disorder). Or, it may just be old age. Whatever. Didn't mean to snub you.

Anyway, after leaving Zoro's site where they had the same breaker bar "on sale" for $141+ (with free shipping), I stumbled-upon the same new Proto 27" on Ebay for $100 (also, with free shipping). Even though it was more than I wanted to spend, I am a sucker for (what seems to be) a good deal. It's a lot shorter than the 42" Titan; however, there is always a "cheater" bar.
