AK730 Breaker Bar - 60cm Long - 1/2 inch Square Drive - Swiveling Head

Bought this to replace a wheel brace that I bent trying to remove a seized lug nut. This breaker bar removed the nut without any problem. It is a good length, long enough to generate a lot of torque but still short enough that it is reasonably portable. It is pretty heavy in weight and feels absolutely solid. I have used it for a few different types of jobs now and it hasn't let me down. Useful for starting off tight nuts before using a socket wrench to finish the job. Great value for money for a high quality item. I have only used for automotive jobs but it will be versatile for use with any sort of job.

Ph, where do i start, i read the other reviews and saw the pictures and im not gonna lie, i was worried but this was the size and length i needed, fortunatelyit is also prety liegh weight. So i tried because it was cheap and i could've just returned it... well it came with a scratch on the black metal and a snapped plastic which didnt give much confidence considering the reviews but i did think i wouldn't be worried about the plastic wrapper if it wasnt for the reviews... well it worked, it did exactly what i needed it to do, i broke the rust lock on a siezed caliper pin which broke my heavy duty ratchet. Exactly what i paid for, there is some scratches on the black where i put the bits on... its paint, who cares, thats expected. Ive had no issues with it

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.

Thankfully I haven't had the need to put it to the test yet. But it just arrived in the post today. Prompt delivery. I am a little disappointed with this product. The bar is fine, but the head looks and feels cheap. There is a bit of play in the join between the bar and the head also. But what annoys me the most, is that it says Sealey on the website, Sealey on the retail packaging attached to the product, and it doesn't say Sealey ANYWHERE on the tool itself... It only says 'Premier AK730'. Good tools ALWAYS forge their name in the steel, Think Elora, Stahlwille, Teng, Strap-On, Gedore, Gordon, King Dick, etc etc. They put their names on their products, as they are PROUD that they produce TOP QUALITY products. It appears on the other hand, that Sealey is not proud of this product. Once you receive your cheap product, and remove it from the packaging, there is no longer any association with Sealey... I have worked with tools for many years, and I know the difference between a tool from West Germany, and a tool from China. This breaker bar, my friends, is no doubt made in China. But at the end of the day, its back to the old saying, 'You get what you pay for...' . I paid £10 for this breaker bar, which was shipped in a 2' x 2'6'' x 8'' box mostly full of air. At £10, I'm going to throw it in the boot of my car, and if it gets me out of ONE difficult situation somewhere, I guess it's paid for itself!

Next level equipment. Striaght yes from me

Excellent quality .Use with confidence .

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.

A great bar long and strong! Use it for removing wheel studs works a treat, comfortable grip and strong swivel head

Me ayudó a quitar un tornillo con el que no podía sin apenas esfuerzo. Robusto y de calidad.

Indispensabile per lavori di meccanica, hobbisti a, faida te, utile per svitare dadi bloccati, spedizione ultra veloce, oggetto come da descrizIone. Consigliato

impeccable, solidité a toute épreuve, fait très bien son bulot sans forcer se méfier de la force de serrage avec un point d appuis a 60 cms outils a avoir dans l atelier ou la caisse a outils

Prima, en snel gestuurd en ontvangen dank je wel

Brechstange ist sehr stabil und angenehm bei der benutzung, wenn man eine sache bemängeln würde ist das sie länger seien könnte, ist aber auch in der form ein must have für jeden hobby/ semi-professionnellen mechaniker.
