FAQs
What is the maximum torque this power bar can deliver?
The Laser Tools Power Bar is designed to deliver a maximum torque of 245Nm.
What size drive does this power bar have?
This power bar features a 3/8 inch drive.
What material is the power bar made from?
It is manufactured from polished Chrome Vanadium steel.
How long is the power bar?
The power bar has a length of 380mm, which is approximately 15 inches.
Can I use this power bar for very delicate tasks?
While it provides control, its primary design is for high torque applications. For delicate tasks, a standard ratchet or torque wrench might be more appropriate to avoid overtightening.
Does it come with any sockets?

Is it suitable for use on impact wrenches?
No, this is a manual leverage tool and is not designed for use with impact wrenches.
Troubleshooting
Socket slips off the drive head.
Ensure the socket is fully and correctly seated onto the 3/8 inch drive. Check the socket's drive size for compatibility and inspect both the socket and the drive head for damage or debris.
Difficulty applying sufficient torque.
Ensure you are using the power bar at its full 380mm length for maximum leverage. Check that the fastener is not seized or damaged beyond what the tool's 245Nm limit can handle. For extremely seized fasteners, consider using penetrating oil and allowing it time to work before applying torque.
Tool shows signs of rust or corrosion.
Clean the affected area thoroughly with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light machine oil to protect the surface. Store the tool in a dry place.
