Description
Overview:
The Sealey AK730 Breaker Bar is a long-handled, non-ratcheting lever used to apply high torque to stubborn fasteners. It is designed for 1/2" square drive systems (12.7 mm), so it works with standard 1/2" sockets and extensions. The 600 mm length (approx. 23.6 inches) provides strong leverage while giving good control in tight areas. The bar is made from hardened and tempered Chrome Vanadium steel for strength and durability, with a high chrome finish that resists corrosion and is easy to clean. A pivoting knuckle head helps you approach bolts at different angles, and a spring-loaded ball detent holds sockets securely. Suitable for automotive, plant, and general mechanical maintenance, the AK730 helps break loose fixings before final removal or re-tightening.
Key Features:
- 600 mm length (23.6 inches) for strong leverage and controlled force
- 1/2" square drive (12.7 mm) compatible with standard 1/2" sockets and accessories
- Hardened and tempered Chrome Vanadium steel bar for high strength and long service life
- High chrome, polished finish for corrosion resistance and easy wipe-down
- Slim, straight handle for steady grip and better access in confined spaces
- Pivoting, replaceable knuckle joint to reach fasteners at awkward angles
- Spring-loaded ball detent for secure socket retention during heavy pulls
- Non-ratcheting design reduces risk of mechanism slip under high breakaway torque
Typical Applications:
Ideal for loosening wheel nuts, suspension and chassis bolts, crank pulley fixings, and other seized or over-tightened fasteners on cars, vans, 4x4s, plant, agricultural, and groundcare equipment. Often used to "crack" a fastener before switching to a ratchet or torque wrench for removal or final tightening.
Also known as:
Commonly referred to as a power bar, cheater bar, extension bar, flex handle, knuckle bar, torque bar, or long handle bar. These names describe its role in adding leverage and control for initial breakaway of tight fasteners.
