It's 100% true! The 3/8" size corresponds to medium sized bolts with a medium torque. Getting the job done requires 1/2" of plywood. In general, the closer the drive size is to the shank of the bolt, the better.
Using a 3/8" drive on a lug nut isn't a good idea. It is a good idea to use an inch drive at minimum.
Although I don't know if this item is covered by a lifetime warranty, it seems to be The 40 inch by 3/4 inch drive version I have is very effective at removing large lug nuts from my RV, and I have not wore it out in my lifetime.
We are Tekton. I am Nate. Despite the lack of a case, this breaker bar isn't provided with one.

This morning, the breaker bar arrived and it's time for me to get started on a project so I can ship some heavy equipment by Friday. The bolts I had to remove needed to be broken out with the breaker bar. I broke the bolts loose in less than 2 minutes after trying to loosen them. I'm so glad that I did not pay for that! It is obviously a very cheaply made product, so do not buy it. Since I am in the process of finding a replacement, I now find myself behind my deadline.
version with a half drive of 24" and the one with a 3/4 drive of 40". How difficult has it been to remove a bolt from your car or truck? When you buy a 24" 1/2 drive breaker, you will be able to remove almost anything. After I bought the 40" 3/4 drive version to break free from some over-tightening spindle nuts, I then used it for several years The twisting began. I was able to remove these with my own weight and a 40 inch breaker bar. Getting one of these a long time ago was incredibly foolish, and I have no idea how I got along without one before. I have a complaint about all the 1 star reviews that blame this on something broken All of them are the 3/8 drive 18" version and the square drive end is broken. Do the right thing and buy a 24" 1/2 drive version! There are only a few very strange situations where 3/8 drive breaker bars may be necessary, such as some situations with extremely limited available space. An ordinary 3/8 ratchet can't handle a lot more torque than a drive end of this type. Even if you can break the 1/2 drive version, you'd have to work very hard to break the.
Initially, it was broken, it snapped cleanly off in my socket the first time I tried to use it.
You won't believe the level of garbage in this. Save yourself the headache and buy a name brand instead.
To remove the centerlocks from a Porsche GT3, I am using this tool. There is 440 foot pounds of torque applied to these nuts. We felt that this breaker bar was very sturdy, and it easily released the center locks. I am very satisfied.
Normally, the socket size is 7/8 inch, but I had to order a slightly larger 23mm socket from Amazon due to the swelling. Although I had a 25 inch breaker bar, I could not break the swollen nuts loose. The nuts were not removed from the tree even with the help of my friend, an 8 story-tall crustacean from the Paleozoic era. He also had to be paid With the help of the Tekton breaker bar (I also ordered a new 23mm 3/4 drive socket from Amazon), the rest of the 18 nuts were broken without any problems. It was still harder than it should have been when one of my swollen nuts swelled. The fact that I learned about this now rather than when I had a flat on the side of the road is really fortunate for me. This is a pretty good finish on the over all. My impression is that the head should have been rounded at the sharp edges. Nevertheless, whichever way you prefer is fine. It is a heavy breaker bar, and I cannot imagine it giving me any problems.
When I was working on a large tractor brush hog unit that required a little extra leverage, I had to use an extender. My attempt to lengthen the bar with a 6' length of pipe worked well, as I slipped the heavy pipe over the bar. My sword flexed when I needed a lot of force, but it That is something I would recommend.
A lug nut was stuck, rusted and really difficult to get off. Considering a bulkier drive might have been a better choice!.
