Safety The Olsa Tools Extendable Breaker Bar gives you the right torque for the job.

The EPAuto Breaker Bar is a great tool that comes from a big player in the automotive industry. This breaker bar is designed with forged chrome vanadium steel for durability and a knurled handle for comfort. The chrome handle also features grooves on the top and bottom, so you know where to place your hands when using the tool. Why we like it: Our favorite feature of the ABN Extension Bar is its length. Instead of being the traditional 16 inches, the handle is an inch smaller, making it better suited for the smaller bolts and tighter spaces.The first thing you want to look for in a breaker bar is the size of the drive head. There are a few different types of drive heads on the market, and many manufacturers offer the same breaker bar with different drive head options. Plus, some breaker bars come with drive heads that feature two different drive sizes. The standard drive heads that you’ll find are ½”, ⅜” and ¼”. Drive Rotation

We will only not replace a tool if it has been rusted, burnt, modified or mechanically ground down. While ¾” drives are hard to find, TEKTON has a great product.

This gives you the torque you need to work on larger projects. ⅜” Drive Heads The weight of a breaker bar can have a big effect on durability and ease-of-use. Lighter breaker bars are slightly more maneuverable, but a heavy breaker bar is less likely to break or bend and helps apply more torque. Price A: 2 general rules: 1) When in doubt, use a bigger bar than you think you need. 2) Don’t use a bar with a smaller drive size than the fastener you’re working on. Weight – To me, a breaker bar should be heavy. It’s a tool specifically built for hi-torque cranking. If it feels too light in my hand, I get suspicious. Most Cr-V breaker bars I’ve used feel proportionately weighted to their length. Cr-Mo breaker bars will feel even heavier.Breaker bars are a must-have tool if you’re working on machinery. Whether it’s cars, marine equipment, or even a tractor, at some point, a bolt isn’t going to budge. Without the right breaker bar, this can put your project on hold and leave you frustrated. The TEKTON Breaker Bar is also easy to use. Most breaker bars feature handles with grooves to give you grip, but TEKTON went with a smooth handle. There are two points where the handle is elevated to prevent your hand from slipping, making it easier to hold than even most knurled handles. It also features a spring-loaded ball-bearing to keep the tool in place. The ManPower Breaker Bar also benefits from having two different drive heads. You can choose between a ⅜” head and a ½” head. This makes it easy to work on multiple jobs without needing to grab another tool. The heads also rotate up to 180 degrees, which makes it easy to use in tight spaces. The best 40-inch breaker bar is the TEKTON Breaker Bar. It’s made with excellent durability, featuring a chrome vanadium body and chrome molybdenum drive head. Even if you place this breaker bar under a significant amount of pressure, it won’t bend or break.

While the breaker bars are smaller than most individual products, it’s a great set to keep around the house for smaller projects. These breaker bars also feature short handles. While you lose out on torque, smaller handles are great for working in tight spaces.

Quality – Most breaker bar handles are made of chrome vanadium steel, which is a hardened alloy that resists oxidation and corrosion.

Sockets and Breaker Bars

The Capri Tools Extended Leverage Breaker Bar is a lightweight breaker bar with impressive performance. While most breaker bars are between 12 and 24 inches long, Capri Tools gives you an extra six inches of length. This doesn’t seem like much, but extra leverage can make it effortless to remove difficult bolts.

With help from aerosol penetrant and a heat gun, I eventually worked each bolt loose with the Neiko. I was happy with its length, which nearly maxed out my wheel well but still allowed me room to work and delivered much-needed torque. I found myself bracing various body parts against the wheel well, scrambling for leverage, but the Neiko breaker bar helped me pull off the job successfully. Generally, beefier is better. That same rule applies to drive sizes: if I have a fastener with a ⅜-inch shaft, I try to use a breaker bar with a ⅜-inch drive or bigger. Sources:A: They work great! I most often use breaker bars for lug nuts. It is possible to break them from over-torquing. As advised above, apply the general rule of using more tool than you think you need to avoid breaking your bar. Q: Is there more than one size of breaker bar? A great choice is the Neiko ½ Inch Drive Premium Breaker Bar. It gives you enough leverage to loosen the tightest lug nuts, excellent durability, and it shouldn’t break anything. 30 Inches
