Breaker Bars
Available51 products
Breaker bars, also known as power bars, have a long nonratcheting bar that is used with sockets and socket bits to break loose overtightened fasteners. The nonratcheting bar requires the tool to be removed from the fastener and repositioned to turn a fastener. The long handle allows the same amount of force to generate more torque than a standard-length ratchet. Breaker bars are used with sockets and socket bits to rotate fasteners for installation (tighten) or removal (loosen).
Flex-Head Breaker Bars
These flex-head breaker bars come with a hinge close to the head that allows the head to swivel to access fasteners from multiple angles. They are used with sockets and socket bits to break loose overtightened fasteners. Breaker bars have a long handle that can generate more torque than a standard-length ratchet.

Sliding T-Style Breaker Bars
Sliding T-style breaker bars have a sliding drive plug that the socket attaches to and is perpendicular to the bar. The sliding drive plug can be repositioned to make the handle shorter for use in tight spaces or longer to increase the amount of torque required to loosen overtightened fasteners.

Nonsparking Flex-Head Breaker Bars
These nonsparking flex-head breaker bars won't spark during use and can loosen overtightened fasteners in locations where flammable vapors or combustible liquids are present. They come with a hinge close to the head that allows the head to swivel to access fasteners from multiple angles in tight spaces. Breaker bars are used with sockets to break loose overtightened fasteners and have a long handle that can generate more torque than a standard-length ratchet.

Slugging Breaker Bars
Slugging breaker bars have a block shape on the end of the handle that can be struck with a hammer. A socket or socket bit is attached to the bar and the socket/socket bit is placed on a fastener. The block-shaped end is then struck with a hammer to provide additional force to loosen overtightened fasteners.

L-Style Breaker Bars
L-style breaker bars have a fixed head and are used with sockets and socket bits to break loose overtightened fasteners. They have a long handle that can generate more torque than a standard-length ratchet.

Sliding T-Style Drive Plugs
These sliding T-style drive plugs attach to a plain bar handle to convert the handle into a T-style breaker bar. The drive plug allows socket and socket bit attachment with the sockets perpendicular to the bar. The sliding drive plug can be repositioned to make the handle shorter for use in tight spaces or longer to increase the amount of torque required to loosen overtightened fasteners.

Insulated Breaker Bars
Insulated breaker bars have an insulated bar to protect against electrical shock from live electrical circuits and are suitable for use near electrical components when loosening overtightened fasteners. The insulated bar also allows for a more secure grip when turning compared to a noninsulated bar. They are used with sockets and socket bits to break loose overtightened fasteners. Breaker bars have a long handle that can generate more torque than a standard-length ratchet.
