    I thought you werent supposed to use a breaker bar on lugs because you can over tighten and stretch out the lug bolts threads?

    Just slide a metal pipe (any length you want) over a 12” length 1/2” drive breaker bar and you can have any size.

    The place I went to didn't. And if they did, they used one that torqued my wheels to about 250 ft lbs. I just had one bad experience at one local auto shop so now I'm paranoid lol.

    The bigger the better! I have anywhere from a 10” all the way to 6’ pipe. I’ve personally never used anything under an 18”.

    I have a bigger one (I think 21”) that stays in my garage (and is quite useful in helping to persuade things like a ball joint press), and a shorter one (12” I think) that stays in the truck (because it fits in the tool bag). I also keep a rubber mallet in the bag as well... if it’s not enough, and don’t have a pipe handy to help, tapping the handle with the mallet usually still does the trick.

    +1 for harbor freight breaker bar. I used mine all the time as an aircraft mechanic breaking torque of nearly 400ft/lbs and it works as good as any $200 snapon breaker bar.

    The "breaker bar" they come with is garbage. The socket end of the tool fits loose and in my opinion, there is too much "extension" on the factory tool.

    Honda crankshaft pulley nut torque is insane. I have removed several and have often ended up using a 1/2" air line hard hitting impact (think commercial truck / industrial work). Even 24" breakers with 4' cheater on it wasn't enough. Fun stuff. Own several... good to have both.

    Im in Canada. I ended up grabbing a 24" JET tools brand. Discounted price from a buddys shop around $60 Canadian /lifetime warranty. I could grab a cheapo for $20 but if it didnt do what i needed when i needed it, i would be fuckin pissed at myself..
