| 1145285 | 2010-10-16 02:23:00 | Hey, feersumendjinn::: That's a cheap copy of a Snap-On breaker bar - and it's only an 18 incher. Most mechanics buy the 24, 36 and 48 inch version if they want some real power. My shortest breaker bar is 36 inches or about 900mm long. Of course, I don't get dirty any more; I'm retired. |

Manufactures stipulate the correct torque on bolts for a reason so go and get yourself a torque wrench and do the job correctly. |

| 1145288 | 2010-10-16 03:03:00 | I find rectangular box section steel is good better than round pipe because you need a large diameter to get over the end of a ROE spanner, rectangular you can slip it over the end of the spanner. If its long enough something is always going to happen. CRC WD40 not going to help you if something is done up too tight its much overrated the stuff has to get thru the rust on a rusty thread and thats not going to happen is it? I fits seized by heat all the CRC in the world isnt going to help |

Yeah, I thought that too. Unfortunately, I still have to get down and dirty :(. |
