Great Product: Hand & Power Tools

I bought this hammer before replacing the control levers on my girlfriend's car as I expected some nasty frozen bolts to be associated with her frame. The lever of this breaker is huge because the shaft is 24 inches. This pry bar was capable of removing several inches of stubborn screws with corroded threads that were originally secured with Loctite. Every screw I removed with this tool came out with very little effort. I've seen some reviews stating that the stem bends with use and in some cases the tip breaks off, which bothered me. I haven't seen or experienced any significant flexing, let alone breakage, which makes me wonder what process other reviewers use to remove stubborn screws. "WD40". Allow the liquid to soak into the threads for a few minutes before attempting to remove the bolts. In real life the bolt can be heated with a flashlight to remove it, but I've never had to go that far. If anyone loosens the screw that's breaking this rod, they should consider upgrading to truly industrial-sized tools. for example a "30" adjustable wrench or a giant industrial size ratchet like those used on diesel trucks. This 24 inch punch bar is my go-to choice when the tool fits in the space I need to work with. Because of its length, I can't always get into wheel arches and other hard-to-reach places, so I also bought a 15-inch jackhammer to work in tighter spaces.
