I know, I know ...it China Harbor Freight Crap. We've got one at the Towing yard for working on our medium duty trucks. I've been amazed at how strong it is. Even had a 6ft iron black gas cheater pipe on the bitch with 2 guys over 200lbs each standing on it, and didn't break it, and we got our bolt loose.

It's on sale right now at HF too.

I have one. I've tried to break it! My Snap On broke instead!

I remember you saying that about a breaker bar, wasn't sure if it was this one or not though.
I wouldn't have beleived it if I wasn't there myself. I told bossman we need one on the service truck. I had a lug nut on an AT&T truck the other day, the air impact woudln't even get loose. I ended up using the star bar and a cheater pipe.

HF does have some decent tools for the price and warranty but in my experience there electical tools are junk at least there drills but grinders are all right.

I always just put a large deepwell socket (1" or bigger) on a long 1/2" extension and slide the socket on the end of my 1/2" Crapsman ratchet handle. Just about doubles the length of the ratchet. And if that dont work I have an old bumper jack bar that will :grd: I do actually own a 1/2" Crapsman breaker bar, an older long one I picked up at a flea market for cheap but it is never as handy as the big socket/extension when I need it.

Agreed. A few gems floating in a sea of crap. My long term success story is an 8" bench grinder I bought from HF 22 years ago. It gets used all the time and still works like a champ.

Good find! I might have to go to Salina and pick one up. Gotta look for a case for my iPhone anyway.

Going to get it at the Bosslemans truck stop? They seem to have almost everything there.

That phone case or the breaker bar? Lol. I frequented Bosselemans a lot when I was driving truck. Good stuff.

They ended up getting a new shipment of Otterbox phone cases at the local store so I snatched one of those up today after work.

I guess I'll have to come up with another excuse to get down there. Lol.
