Looking at Tools

[fixitmattman]

Not sure how you guys are breaking shit... I know the occasional thing here and there but I have yet to break any of my craftsman stuff.

I've swapped motors, transmissions, done gear sets, etc etc...

You need to work on stuff that's really old, really broken, or really used a lot where there's a ton of salt. Just add a 3ft cheater bar then you'll break stuff.

Well, I guess you're right... the oldest crap I worked on was mid 80s...but I'm down here where rust and shit isn't an issue.

I did use a 8 foot cheater bar on my rear diff trying to do the gears for the Samurai.. my tools took the beating and liked it

The most I've ever done was bent an extension using it for something I should have

If you are using a cheater bar on ratchets/breaker bars, and a decent size bolt/nut, then use an impact socket, and a pipe wrench on said socket. The pipe wrench squeezing the socket will keep it from breaking, and the pipe wrench will not snap off like the square drive on a ratchet. A non impact socket may work, but the chrome might get peeled off, leaving razor sharp edges.
