Did Craftsman ever make this?

[AffableCurmudgeon]

Did Craftsman USA ever make a 1/2 inch breaker bar that was 24 inches or longer? I would like to find one. Thanks.

15" and 18" are the only ones I know of. Even the 3/4" drive was 18". I wouldn't worry about it as craftsman breaker bar drive ends are very weak and pretty easy to break.

18 and 15 were it I believe.

That’s what I remembered as well. Thanks for confirming.

do what the rest of us Craftsman guys did- get the HF 24" breaker bar. It works great, and almost looks like a CM bar anyways...And HF is still in business.

Watch the Youtube comparison test between Matco, SnapOn, Mac and HF's Pittsburgh Pro 24-25 " comfort grip breaker bars. The other three are well north of $100 and the HF is well under $20 with a coupon. It took the same load on a lab type torque meter with no sweat and has a lifetime warranty, is made in Taiwan and is well finished. If you want a good, USA made wrench at a decent price, the knurled metal handle Proto is around $33.

If you keep your eye on the listings, you can find decent used US made units (Indestro, Duro, Wright, Thorsen, Giller, etc.) on Ebay for $20 - $30 incl. shipping.
Thorsen/Giller only went up to 16 inches, though.
Duro/Indestro only up to 18.
Not sure about Wright.

I have a Craftsman with the 1/2" square hole in the end of the handle, add an extension and make it as long as you want...…….

Stupid thing is the Craftsman 3/4" drive is the same length as the 1/2" !
