Longer Breaker Bar?

[Kev442]

I wanted my 3/4" breaker bar and ratchet to be more usable directly. I found closeout 3/4" drive sockets on Cripes and filled in 3/4 and 13/16. I think they had a 5/8 or something like that in impact that looked so ridiculous that I bought it as a conversation piece.

any trth to the claim that T- handles are stronger than the flex type breaker bars?

From my experience, breaker bars snap the drive and sliding tee bars bend the shaft.

I have used the 5/8 3/4 drive socket to torque bearing bolts on log cranes, a cut off 5/8 hex wrench and you have a low profile hex bit socket for a couple of the limited access bolts.

I have a Wright 3/4" drive slider (this thing is smaller/thinner than the "bull bar") with an adapter to 1/2" drive and like using that thing to loosen the lug nuts when taking a wheel off of my Grand Cherokee. A 1/2" drive slider is much too small. Have not tried it with excessively overtorqued or rusted lugs however. Put the slide in the middle and crank with both hands like turning a wheel. ********* adapter,not the little chrome ones.

Went ahead and ordered the Tekton breaker bar and it actually came in today. Holy **** is that thing beefy. The main shaft of the tool is over 21mm in diameter.
