Sealey Ak730 Breaker Bar 600Mm 1/2Sq Drive

Excellent quality .Use with confidence .

I've not only used this for lugnuts on my car many times now, but also to deal with the very tight crankshaft pulley bolt when changing my timing belt (cambelt) a year ago. For the latter I had to push on it so hard (to achieve the 90-degree turn after the initial 40Nm done with a torque wrench) that I had to sit on the ground and push it with my foot, and you could see it flexing quite a bit under the strain, but it did its job perfectly. I was very impressed having never used one like that before. Those reviews showing it having broken are either pushing it beyond the strength capabilities of 1/2" tooling or are just unfortunate enough to have gotten one that was imperfectly cast (a common manufacturing problem). A couple of notes for those choosing what tooling to buy: 1) I have seen people complain about their 3/8" breaker bar having broken when used on car lugnuts. That's because they're using the wrong tool, 3/8" isn't strong enough for car lugnuts (that have been tightened properly), they should be using a 1/2" tool like this one (and perhaps even stronger for larger vehicles). 2) If you're looking to do a timing belt replacement on a 1.0 ecoboost (without a torque multiplier) then the crankshaft pulley bolt needs to be done up exceptionally tight compared to most car engines (300Nm + 90-degree turn) and a 1/2" breaker bar may not be strong enough to cope with that. You can use a 1/2" torque wrench for the 300Nm bit, but then you should use a 3/4" breaker bar for the angle.

Great power bar , loads of torque, well made

Recommendable product strong durable good quality one time investment

Ph, where do i start, i read the other reviews and saw the pictures and im not gonna lie, i was worried but this was the size and length i needed, fortunatelyit is also prety liegh weight. So i tried because it was cheap and i could've just returned it... well it came with a scratch on the black metal and a snapped plastic which didnt give much confidence considering the reviews but i did think i wouldn't be worried about the plastic wrapper if it wasnt for the reviews... well it worked, it did exactly what i needed it to do, i broke the rust lock on a siezed caliper pin which broke my heavy duty ratchet. Exactly what i paid for, there is some scratches on the black where i put the bits on... its paint, who cares, thats expected. Ive had no issues with it

Heavy but inexpensive.

Just what I needed to keep in the car makes life a lot easier when you need to change your wheels around or you get a flat tyre to crack the nuts off and a good price and length

Ive used a much smaller breaker bar for breaking bolts free for years and I struggle with wheel lug nuts that are torqued down to 100nM, this breaker bar is a much needed upgrade as the leverage makes breaking even axel nuts torqued down to 260nM a breeze. The length is ideal for increasing your applicable torque even when you're a skinny muscle atrophied person like myself, before i commited to this purchase i was looking at a few other brands that looked more appealing like the "all black oxide" one I shan't name the brand for, but whne looking at reviews all these other lesser/unknown named branded products were very low quality with many customers finding that the item breaks with very little use - I've bought a lot and used a lot of Sealey products over the last 15 years and I find their brand quality is very trustworthy and after servicing my 2012 kia ceed recently Im glad i went with Sealey as they are one of the few companies I trust with torque applications. 5/5 stars highly recommended.
