Capri Tools 1 in. Drive 40 in. Extended Leverage Breaker Bar

This breaker bar is STRONG! I used it on a semi truck wheel, and put an 8 foot long cheater pipe on it (I know your not “supposed” to), but it worked GREAT! , it did not bend, or break, and got the job done. If it will withstand that, it can do most jobs with ease.

Bonne qualité belle apparence fonctionne très bien.

Overview I bought this to do tire changes. My normal socket wrenches are far too short to get the leverage required to break free stuck on lug bolts. The only long wrench I have is a 30 inch torque wrench...and you do not want to be using that rather delicate mechanism to break the blots free. A breaker bar is considerable cheaper... I have used this bar several times already for tire changes. I also used it to remove a old rusted on door hing from a barn. The force you can generate from the 30 inch fulcrum is amazing. Build quality is heavy duty. I like the f act that it does not ratchet...that's just one more thing to break when you are removing frozen nuts and bolts. A must have addition to your tire changing kit. Tip: I don't recommend using this to tighten bolts, even ones where you don't need to worry about a specific torque setting. The length just creates too much force with very little elbow grease. You will end up either stripping out the threads or snapping the bolt or socket or torque head. This is purpose built to remove stuck fasteners.... Pros -Great value -Simple design and very heavy duty -A prefect compliment to your 30 inch torque wrench. Cons -None Recommendation – Would buy it again and would highly recommend.

Tried to use to remove my commercial truck tiresI feel if I put too much torque on this bar it would break. Needed to remove stuck bolts.

The longer the bar the greater the leverage. Also, the greater the tendency to deform and flex or bend. I bought this to break loose bolts tightened to 150 foot-pounds! The cost on this was comparatively low so I was curious as to how it would work when really stressed. I was doing drive gear work on my motorcycle and had several fasteners to break loose. None had ever been loosened since factory install over 24 years ago, so I expected to have serious effort expended. To my delight it was PERFECT for my job needs. In use it showed very little flexing and honestly, did not require too much power to break loose even the largest and most tightly torqued fasteners! I watched videos of big, strongly muscled guys doing the same job I had where they strained and had great difficulty breaking loose the same fasteners I addressed. Mine were red Loctite coated too, yet the leverage from this breaker bar did the job well. It has a place of honor in my shop and is my immediate go-to for any bolt or fastener I think is going to be a challenge. Recommended.
