Performance Tool W32124 1/2-in Drive High Torque Flex Handle Home Improvement Hand Tool, Black/Silver, 18-Inches

great

I bought this to remove the wheels from my RV that a tire store tightened up so tight I'm amazed the studs didn't break off. Since I no longer trust that shop, and I wanted to be able, if necessary, to fix a flat out on the road I bought this breaker bar to remove and then properly torque the fasteners so I didn't have to call Superman to remove a wheel. I had to seriously put some force into removing the wheels, but this breaker bar took what I guess was way over 400 foot-pounds of torque easily. What's great is it cost less than half of what a name brand like Craftsman or a third of what a Snap-on bar would have cost.

works great

Wow did this do the trick. I was trying to get lug nuts off my old car and could literally not budge the nuts with all my weight using anyone of three different tire wrenches - one that came with the car, an extra from an old car, and one with four different sockets in the shape of a cross. I tried penetrating oil, tapping, and even heating - they were not budging.Ordered this tool somewhat suspiciously but desperate. Once I had this tool in hand, the lug nuts were loose in under a minute - just wow. I barely had to push and they were squeaking and turning. The tool seems very sturdy and well built. I didn't even need the socket extenders I ordered as the head on this tool extended the socket just enough to work perfectly. This is my new favorite tool (until this next tool I get that works of course!).

Great Gift for under $25 for guys

This is a great breaker bar to unlock the tight torqued lug nuts on a cars rim. Once I get them loose, I use a shorter ratchet torque wrench to remove the nuts and to retighten back to factory car specs. I only use this breaker bar to start loosening the nut and it does a great job. The handle is long enough and flexes also with a lot or torque. The chrome is nice and this bar is a great tool to have for your car. I rate this breaker bar as 5 Stars without being rewarded or paid. I purchased directly on Amazon like everyone else. Good to leave in your cars trunk just in case you need a longer bar to get a stuck on nuts loose without stripping it.

So far, so good. Used it to hand turn (Just to be on the safe side) a 60 Buick 401 nailhead after 15 years in a barn. Shot some Kroil in the cylinders, let it soak a coupla days, put a 1" socket on it and gave it some horse pressure.... The bar flexed a bit and the crank moved! 2 rotations... Shot some Stabil Fogging Oil in the cylinders and all around the inside of both valve covers and had at it again... Two more rotations and she was slick as.... Well...pretty slick! Good breaker bar. As good as my snap on 24" -which coming from me is something! Wanted a longer one for more clearance/leverage. Besides... Lifetime guaranty. I'm good with that! I think I'll buy the ratcheting adapter though. Break it free first, then put it on and ratchet it off. Better way to go.

Update...Needed to do my brakes today, used the deep sockets as always, got to the first lug nut on my truck and it snapped! I applied only my arm strength and look at what happened! I've changed my rating to one star as this should have lasted longer than 6 months!Hello bought this and mad at myself for not doing it sooner! This helped me take off my tires as if I was the Hulk no matter if the bolts were torqued or not. Glad I got this now cuz I work on about 15 cars a year at home and this made it easier to pop the bolts loose and then use my impact drill.
