Transform your breaker bar...
3 von 3 finden das hilfreich Bought this to go with my Sealey 600mm breaker bar.
Combining the two creates a long, high leverage ratchet drive. This thing is rated up to 512N-m [378 lb-ft.] of torque so even putting my 12st on the end of the 600mm (2ft) bar is well within limits. Most socket-set ratchet drives are much shorter with far lower safe torque limits.
While the extra leverage of a long breaker bar is a great help with stubborn nuts/bolts the length can be a problem in a confined space (like under a car on wheel ramps or axle stands) so the 24-Tooth ratchet (needing only 15° rotation to engage the next tooth) of this adapter means the breaker bar can be used where space to 'swing' is tight.
It has three way action: forward, reverse and locked as required.
Only possible downside is the extra length added to the bar to socket dimension meaning it may not be usable where space in front of the nut/bolt head is limited.
Overall this makes a great addition to the tool kit (wish I'd bought one years ago!) and I now carry the 600mm breaker bar, ratchet adapter and appropriate socket in my car at all times to make wheel changing a doddle (rather than bouncing up and down on the hopeless stubby little wheel-nut drives that come with most cars).
