I don't know about the Grip On, but I have a Titan 24" ratchet breaker bar and it seems to hold up very well ..

will definatley have a wow factor hanging on the shop wall!!!!

the same type of wow you get when non-mechanics see my 1'' drive proto ratchet.

who is a better make, titan, or grip on, my guess they are both cheap brands, and doesnt matter.

o well, looks like a very useful tool and will prevent using a cheater.

Never used a 40" breaker bar, but i have used a 24" one with a 4' piece of pipe.

SO used to make the L72RL handle which made a 41 inch breaker with the L-112E head.

Not too hard to find.

I use my Snap-on 36" breaker bar fairly often..

I used my Snap on just last week to check the tightness of the bolts that hold the blades on my JD shredder.

I also have the short handle, but I cannot remember ever using it.

I know what you mean. My 5yr old son thinks my 3/4dr Proto ratchet is the coolest thing. Everytime we go to sears I have to practically pry him away from the 3/4drive section, he loves to play with the oversized sockets and ratchets.

As far as I can tell the grip on and titan are the same bars. I own this one:

and for $40 it is a great piece for really stubborn bolts.

I've got a Toptul 40" breaker bar (3/4 drive). Not something I use everyday, but it works well.

I've used long bars like that before, for doing up wheel bolts on trucks and machinery and other stuff that comes up. If your doing up big bolts on stuff it's good, but you'd need to justify the use to buy it. most if not all the time any bar longer than two feet is just for show and gets in the way all the time as you have limited swing. I'd suggest getting a shorted bar- wrap the handle with tape and when needed put a bit of pipe on it- most of the time if you need a bar bigger than two feet you need an oxy torch or an inch drive torque wrench (and some pipe)
