Harbour Freight Breaker Bar 0 Boxster +1

[Gelbster]

"you were probably exceeding 1000 lb/ft of torque."
Way beyond the design limit of any 1/2" breaker bar.'Cheater' pipe ,there is a reason for the name.
Sometimes a few soakings with PB Blaster or heat can be useful ?
I found this on Garage Journal: "HF Breaker Bar has stood up to eight-foot cheater pipes and has done multiple Honda crank pulley bolts for me... And hasn't broken off (and their sockets have held up too!)."

I hit it with some PB Blaster before I left it last night...today for Hit's N Giggles I tried my craftsman cordless impact driver I use mainly for lug bolts. I put the socket on and a few seconds of "clickety clack" and I saw the slightest perceptible movement of the big socket and then it spun off. I was never that worried about getting it off so much as how I will be able to tell if I get to 340 ft lbs of torque when I put it back on.
