SealeyAk730 Breaker Bar 600Mm 1/2Sq Drive

Good strong bar , does the job well, very tight nuts are no problem with this.

Just what I needed to keep in the car makes life a lot easier when you need to change your wheels around or you get a flat tyre to crack the nuts off and a good price and length

No issues with this, other reviews have complained of it being bent and not branded but mine is genuine and perfectly straight. I’ve used it a few times now for wheel bolts and no problems at all, great item.

I haven't used this on anything requiring more torque than a wheel bolt (though who know what the garage torqued those to....) but it has worked perfectly well in all uses. I got the 600mm bar. A friend bought the 750mm for getting an axle nut off for replacing the wheel bearing and it was good enough for that on a 16 year old car with the original bearings.

Ive used a much smaller breaker bar for breaking bolts free for years and I struggle with wheel lug nuts that are torqued down to 100nM, this breaker bar is a much needed upgrade as the leverage makes breaking even axel nuts torqued down to 260nM a breeze.The length is ideal for increasing your applicable torque even when you're a skinny muscle atrophied person like myself, before i commited to this purchase i was looking at a few other brands that looked more appealing like the "all black oxide" one I shan't name the brand for, but whne looking at reviews all these other lesser/unknown named branded products were very low quality with many customers finding that the item breaks with very little use - I've bought a lot and used a lot of Sealey products over the last 15 years and I find their brand quality is very trustworthy and after servicing my 2012 kia ceed recently Im glad i went with Sealey as they are one of the few companies I trust with torque applications.5/5 stars highly recommended.

Really impressed with the Sealey AK730 Breaker Bar. It feels solid and well-made, with excellent length for getting extra leverage on tight bolts. I used it on some stubborn wheel nuts and it handled the job easily without flexing. I will update my comment if I have any issues.

I've not only used this for lugnuts on my car many times now, but also to deal with the very tight crankshaft pulley bolt when changing my timing belt (cambelt) a year ago. For the latter I had to push on it so hard (to achieve the 90-degree turn after the initial 40Nm done with a torque wrench) that I had to sit on the ground and push it with my foot, and you could see it flexing quite a bit under the strain, but it did its job perfectly. I was very impressed having never used one like that before. Those reviews showing it having broken are either pushing it beyond the strength capabilities of 1/2" tooling or are just unfortunate enough to have gotten one that was imperfectly cast (a common manufacturing problem).A couple of notes for those choosing what tooling to buy:1) I have seen people complain about their 3/8" breaker bar having broken when used on car lugnuts. That's because they're using the wrong tool, 3/8" isn't strong enough for car lugnuts (that have been tightened properly), they should be using a 1/2" tool like this one (and perhaps even stronger for larger vehicles).2) If you're looking to do a timing belt replacement on a 1.0 ecoboost (without a torque multiplier) then the crankshaft pulley bolt needs to be done up exceptionally tight compared to most car engines (300Nm + 90-degree turn) and a 1/2" breaker bar may not be strong enough to cope with that. You can use a 1/2" torque wrench for the 300Nm bit, but then you should use a 3/4" breaker bar for the angle.

Good quality from a trusted brand.Used a few times and pleased with the bar.
