The reason I ask is that I find a longer bar far easier to get decent leverage.
I've got a Sealey 750mm bar ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353594200098?epid=10017004966&hash=item5253db5022: g:cTEAAOSw10dhdwjG). The downside is that you can find it's too long to get a decent amount of movement particularly if you're using 6 point sockets.
Mine has a "soft grip" handle which, in hindsight, I wouldn't bother with because if you get something stupidly tight you can't slide a scaffold tube over it for even more leverage.
Hope that helps. |
Evening Andy,
Thanks for your thoughts.
I really need to sort out what size of drive would be best for my socket set(s).
"Now, getting personal

That made me laugh....I think its more down to age "69"....use it or lose it.....and I think I've lost it....or almost lost it.
As regards size 5' 8" and a bit and a bit (one of my brothers was in his words 5' 8" and a bit and I was slightly bigger than him, hence a bit and a bit!) and about 12 1/2 stone.
Anyway getting back to breaker bars, thanks for your help.
Regards David
