DURATECH 1/2" Drive 600 mm Heavy Duty Flexi Breaker Bar, Black

This breaker bar is long, solid, and clearly built to handle stubborn wheel nuts. The 600mm length gives you plenty of leverage, which makes a big difference when dealing with bolts that won’t budge. I’ve tried shorter bars on the same jobs and struggled—this one just gets it done. The flexible (knuckle) head is a nice bonus. It helps when you’re working in tighter spaces or at awkward angles, and it doesn’t feel loose or weak at all. There’s no worrying flex or feeling like it’s about to give way—it feels strong and well controlled. Build quality is very good. It’s heavy enough to feel durable without being awkward to use. The black finish still looks fine after repeated use, and overall it feels like a tool that will last for years rather than something disposable. Pros Excellent leverage thanks to the 600mm length Strong, solid construction Flexible head adds useful versatility Good value compared to more expensive brands Cons Slightly heavy for extended overhead use Flexible head may not be needed if you only work in open areas

After multiple failed attempts to remove a stubborn driveshaft nut — even with a breaker bar and impact driver — I came across this bar while searching online. Something about it stood out, and I’m so glad I took a chance on it. From the moment it arrived, I could feel the quality. It’s heavy-duty, solid, and feels incredibly well-made. When the time came to tackle the bolt again, this bar got the job done on the first turn. It cracked the nut with ease — no WD-40, no heat, no drama. What had been the hardest part of a suspension job turned into the easiest. If you’re dealing with seized or tough bolts, don’t hesitate — this is the tool you want. Absolutely worth every penny.

A solid and well-made torque bar, with a spring stud to keep a large socket in place. The articulated 1/2 inch drive end swivels past the right angle each way, 240 degrees total movement. A nice touch. There may be other bars slightly cheaper but I think it’s worth paying for the Duratech quality.

Good solid replacement, haven't broken it yet

Quite heavy and seems to be built quite well, more than enough for removing and tightening the alloy wheel bolts on my car.

Excellent tool for those bolts that are extra hard over time; it is well-made, and the leverage is enough to require almost no effort to remove them! Very useful for wheel bolts, brakes and any other challenging bolts. Each DIYer must have one of these :)

Great piece of equipment...

I bought this breaker bar to use with a 17mm rim socket. The reason being that the nuts on our wheels were put on so tight, that the L-shaped wrench that comes with the car was basically useless - it kept slipping off the nuts and the hexagonal grip part soon got damaged & out of shape. Using this tough breaker bar with a 1/2 rim socket (17mm) solved the problem in just minutes! We were able to get all the wheel nuts off and change the tyre oursevles. The breaker bar is also ideal for applying just the right amount of torque to get the wheel nuts back on. Don't rely on that rubbish L-shaped wrench to get you out of a bind on a cold winter's night. Investing in a breaker bar + dedicated rim socket is the only way to make sure you're not stranded in a country lane, waiting hours for the AA to show up!

I was skeptical this breaker bar would make removing stuck bolts 'easy'. I knew it would work, eventually, but I thought there would still be some sweat involved, maybe some @#&$!! LOL I'm not tall, I'm in OK shape, I can open most jars. I just bought a mower and wanted to change blades which involves nuts and bolts. I thought a normal ratchet would work, despite what some reviewers said. Nope, breaker bar required. This worked so easily, with very little effort. Yay! Give this and a 1/2 drive socket set to graduates, as wedding gifts, or for house warming gifts. Every home should have this. Makes repairs, upgrades, and DIY so much less stressful and will save you money in the long run. This is well made and sturdy. You need 1/2 inch drive sockets to use it. The drive is the part that clicks in to the socket so you have a handle, it has only 4 sides, not the size of the nut or bolt you are working on, that's the other side of the socket and has a star pattern. Also, there's no button on the breaker bar for quick release of the socket. You just pull it straight up and off. Great tool!

I was having a hard time with my trailer bearing bolt, but this tool made it come off effortlessly.

Really good quality, helped me remove overtigh wheel lug nuts

Non ho ancora avuto il piacere di provarla ma al primo contatto debbo dire che sembra bella solida e di buona fattura. La lunghezza e’ quella giusta per applicare maggior forza nello svitare un dado/bullone bloccato. Arrivato ben tre giorni prima del previsto quindi tutto bene

Ce produit fonctionne parfaitement même avec des écrous serrés a plus de 280 newton/mètre Cette clé est très solide
