Product Information

Full details

This 1/2" drive, 600mm breaker bar from Laser Tools is designed for professional mechanics and serious DIYers who need reliable torque for loosening stubborn fasteners. Its primary benefit is providing extended leverage for increased torque application, exceeding DIN 3122 standards. A potential caveat is that the blue electrophoretic deposition (ED) finish may show workshop marks over time, which is considered normal wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of using a breaker bar?

A breaker bar provides significantly more leverage than a standard ratchet or wrench, making it easier to apply high torque to loosen stubborn, rusted, or overtightened fasteners.

What does '1/2"D' refer to?

'1/2"D' refers to the drive size, meaning it is designed to accept 1/2 inch square drive sockets.

What is the breaking point of this breaker bar?

The breaking point of this breaker bar is 637Nm, which exceeds the DIN 3122 standard of 512Nm.

Can I use this breaker bar with an impact wrench?

No, this breaker bar is designed for manual leverage only and should not be used with an impact wrench. Using it with an impact wrench can cause damage or breakage.

Is it normal for the blue finish to get scratched?

Yes, the blue electrophoretic deposition (ED) finish is designed for durability but can show marks from normal workshop use over time. This is considered fair wear and tear and does not affect the tool's function.

Can I replace the head of the breaker bar?

Yes, a replacement head is available. Please refer to Laser Part No. 1545 for the compatible replacement head.

What material is the breaker bar made from?

It is manufactured from high-strength Chrome Vanadium steel.

Troubleshooting

Breaker bar slips on socket.

Ensure the socket is fully and correctly seated onto the breaker bar's drive. Check for any debris inside the drive or on the socket's insertion point. Use a quality 1/2" drive socket.

Difficulty loosening a very tight fastener.

Apply steady, even pressure. Ensure you are pulling in the correct direction (counter-clockwise to loosen). For extremely seized bolts, consider using a penetrating oil and allowing it time to work before applying force.

Visible marks on the blue finish.

This is considered normal wear and tear for the electrophoretic deposition (ED) finish in a workshop environment and does not impact the tool's performance or structural integrity.
