I have to agree with Brian on this debate, I work in the trade and we get our tools calibrated every 6 months, and the company we use always say do not use Torque wrenches as a breaker bar. And sure enough those who I work/have worked with in the past who refuse to buy a breaker bar end up going through torque wrenches like nothing as they fail the calibration to the point they cannot be calibrated no more. I bought by breaker bar off ebay about 12 years ago and it is still going strong and in those 12 years I have only had to replace my torque wrench once. It is nothing fancy either just a Teng one, I'm too tight to pay snap on prices.
