Harbour Freight Breaker Bar 0 Boxster +1

[Gelbster]

My rule with HF tools is +1if possible. If a 1/2 breaker bar may be O.K. - use a 3/4"H.F.. If a regular socket may be O.K.,use an impact and often a 3/4 impact socket and extension.The HF tool is so cheap , even if you buy the bigger/better item ,it is still a bargain.
They are introducing more "Professional Grade" tools at a slight premium.These are useful because access is so tight on the P-Cars that you need under-sized tools -1/4" ,not 3/8 drive. So I just got a lot of 1/4" impact tools and use those.Their hex-drive(Allen) tools are particularly useful.

I just pulled the entire trans with only a 1/2" drive snap on and basic extensions and sockets. Great access compared to a ford truck. No bolts frozen in place. A pleasure to work on. I used one small wobble socket on the WP.

Do not trust Harbor Freight tools for something that your personal or equipment safety relies on! Most of their tools and instruments are of questionable quality. I had several of their tools snap or just bend. At the National lab where I'm working their multimeters are strictly prohibited because their voltage and current ratings are just wrong.
