W32124 | 1/2" Dr. 20" Flex Ratcheting Breaker Bar

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.

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!).

(half inch drive, 30 inch length) this is a well made, heavy duty product. Used it to press out ball joints on a Trailblazer. I don't know how much torque it is rated for, but I can tell you for certain it will handle as much torque as you can throw at it. I used this with a 2 foot cheater pipe, I weigh 255 pounds and i am retard strong; i pushed, pulled and yanked it with all my might and it held up fine. Unless you're bigger, stronger, or using more than a 2 foot cheater on it, you ain't gonna break it. It does flex a good bit, but at 30" long that's to be expected. I did break something, though...I broke the screw shaft of the ball joint press I was using; it takes a tremendous amount of force to do that!!!

I bought this 30 inch flex bar by Performance to remove a plug in my tractor engine to install a block heater. I could not move it with anything I had, and I have some big tools. After inserting the bar in the plug I put a 4 ft. Pipe on it for leverage, it still took plenty of tugging to finally hear a crack and the plug came loose. Very impressive and tough.

Works okay and good built. Great grip. I have to place a replacement for this because the first one I ordered was delivered by usps and its open on the side. The moment it was drop outside my door I pick it up and there was a hole at the side of the box where the and the tool is gone from inside.

For the price point you can’t beat it. I and coworkers use this in a light and medium truck shop. We do questionable things with this particular bar and hasn’t snapped in half yet

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.

Head is floppy even though there’s a spring. I don’t like how the tool feels because it’s too loose

Having had the experience in the last six months of a wheel coming off in mid Drive, I decided I never want to take that chance again. So now I am pretty religious about periodically tightening the lug nuts on my car. This thing makes it super easy. The first time I did it, which was about two months after I changed over to my summer Tires, one side moved about four in in radius, which was pretty frightening. They weren't loose yet, but they were on their way. This bar seems very solid, and the flexible head is very useful. So all-in-all I am pleased. Note that I am using it for one purpose, so I do not expect to run into the issues others have seen. I'm not reefing on it for example. For my purposes, I give it five stars.

Excelente

feels up to the job

Large heavy-duty breaker. Did the job on 46mm wheel bearing nuts tightened to 230ft-lbs...

Surprisingly well built tool for the price; It seems really sturdy and easily loosens bolts that i was struggling with on a smaller bar.
