breaker Bar + Grade 10.9 bolt + pipe = ....
While i was trying to get out one of my rear strut bolts...
this happened lol
but 20 hours of pain and suffering in 10*F weather was well worth the pay off
Other post will be up later in the week, making a Huge write up
Mind you, this is a HUGE 1/2" breaker bar, thats like 28" long. im good at breaking things lol

You'll get used to it. Try buying Snap-On, I haven't broken any of thier stuff yet.
The people at Sears have a 3/8" rachet rebuild kit waiting for me behind the desk most times.

yeah, if i was making 50+K a year i would be buying better tools. but im not so....
Harbor Freight it is... good thing they have lifetime Warranty on there hand tools.
i just walked in and said "it broke" and i went back and grabbed a new one and walked out.
then go home and finished the job
the 2nd one didn't break
i was putting all my weight on it and pulling on it with all my might.
