Hammer Impact Breaker Bar DIY BUILD

Impact leverage in tight spots.

After Thoughts about the Video: Works fantastic. The length of the stubby arm plays hugely into the force/leverage you can apply. However too long and it starts flexing and getting into the way. I settled on 3" from center of bolt to center of 1/2" socket. I just need to build a 3/8" version.

You really do need a welder. My harbor freight welder is the best $170 I have ever spent.

[@Patriottoo2]

You're not, really, living, until you start welding. Opens sooo many vistas for projects.

[@harleco1]

You should put a patent on that

Don't worry. Somebody else will now.

I'm sure I have seen something similar.

[@simonilett998]

I have a very similar tool to the Toledo, T+E, Laser Tools versions, I bought it pretty cheap many years ago on ebay. 2ft long 1/2inch drive. Only real difference is the black square drive head doesn't pivot, it's fixed 90° to the handle/hinged part👍

[@simonilett998]

I swear you are smarter than 99% of actual engineers. And I wouldn’t be surprised if a part of that is because you’ve had to outsmart them to fix things as well as you do. This is a genuinely genius idea!

I’ve said it before this guy is a genius! Great video.

[@tecc8380]

Can't count how many times I could have used that. Woodworker for 25 years but I think I could pull that off with my brother helping me weld. Which I need to learn anyway. Thanks for your time showing us some skilled work.

[@rsage_]

Man, that's one of those tools that you put in the back of the box and don't use until you need it and it saves the day...and your knuckles. Awesome work! ... about to drop my rebuilt engine/trans/tcase on the Defender. Fingers crossed it works out, haha.

Sounds great!

[@markmaherr]

I am 20 seconds in and already planning on welding one up

[@frankhaydon658]

stop by my forge and add a different dimention to your creativity, love the way your mind works

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Someone else here mentioned your paint can shaker video and I just remembered some things I did to augment that when I fabricated my own. I used lids of various sizes, cut off cans with a safety can opener so there were no sharp edges. Used multiples of those to beef up the attachment to the central bolt instead of washers because the additional lids distribute the force over a larger area. I drilled a hole in one of my overhead beams to screw it into the beam so it’s always right there overhead next to my bench. I also use multiple sections of scrap rubber membrane roofing to wrap around various spray cans to secure them inside the shaker so I can invert it if I feel the need. I’ve found that being able to hold the can in a vertical, horizontal or inverted orientation helps to get the shaker ball inside to act upon more of the contents. I’m currently working on other iterations of this tool utilizing smaller cans to accommodate paint pens, which also require vigorous shaking before use.

[@zlindauer5315]

And all this time, i thought fine threads were stronger because of more surface area! Coler me embarrassed! Thank you, Mr 65ford!!

[@alancummings5008]

Great Tool! So many times I could have used this. Years ago had a combine that had lots of bearing issues, in very hard to reach spots. This tool would have been perfect

[@Hammerback972]

Its another tool i never knew i needed, but certainly could have many uses for it, but have the fabrication skills of a rock. I've always had to improvise and find unconventional ways to get that nut off.

[@iamnoone.]

That's the best idea of this century so far 🎉

[@walterhaumaier9137]

That is freaking genius

[@MetallicAH2O]

Nice!! We had something similar at work that had interchangeable wrench ends instead of the breaker bar side to remove fan hubs. You could also use either a hammer or an air hammer to impact the other end. I think the breaker bar end makes it waaay more useful!

[@CleanCutLawnsK2]

You, sir, are a genius.

[@jcataclisma]

Hadn't imagined it yet. I didn't know it. I didn't wanna. Now I need it. Dang it!

[@rob45x]

I've had one of these tools for about 10 years now. Mass produced. Look up Toledo power bar.

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Excellent idea! That will be very handy to have around for sure!

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

Good idea. From the thumbnail, I thought you were putting a slide hammer on the shaft, like a dent puller. Your build has the option for bigger hammers, is better.

[@sparkyjerred419]

My heeler doesn't like to hang out in the garage with me, think she doesn't like the noise. Cool tool.

Great idea. Sometimes you need it and the alternative is taking a bunch of stuff off to get enough leverage. btw, your lack of gloves scares me, we don't want you to get hurt.

[@duckflymcgoo]

This is gold.

[@jimmulone2422]

There is a tool already available (or it was years ago) I bought one it was marketed for breaking free crank bolts especially on FWD Hondas. I can’t remember who made it but I think it was Lisle or some “off” brand Any still a great idea and I can appreciate the effort in making the tool and then video. Thank you

[@rickhammar1636]

Private brand tools 1/2" power bar. It's still available

[@ShadowOfADaemon]

Great idea. Had a simulare idea i've been using for years, hit the end of the powerbar/ratchet with a soft face hammer or small deadblow. No sparks/metal flakes/sharp edges left on tooing/ lower noise impulse

[@ShadowOfADaemon]

[@Wil_Liam1]

I found out a long time ago that frozen,or stuck bolts and nuts often came loose when hammering on the tool right where it wraps around the fastener.. Apparently the impact or shocking helped to jar it loose like an impact does.. Another great idea there Moe !

@@sixtyfiveford I’m from Australia so maybe more known down there. Best tool for crank bolts prior to impact guns and now they are having a comeback with how narrow the access is to a lot of bolts nowadays. I like your videos

[@JDeWittDIY]

This is a great idea! I vote we call it the "slugging breaker bar" (like slugging wrenches). Also, Moe, you should contact a manufacturer and hook them up with the idea. This needs to be a tool that's available for purchase.

Hadn't thought about thread depth as it relates to fastener strength... tucking that gem of wisdom into my hat! In my defense, during most of my professional work a 1/4" fastener was considered to be BIG! I dealt with mostly #6, #4 and smaller.

I like it. Also, it might be a good idea to offset the pin about 5 degrees. This buys +/- 5 degrees by flipping it. This could help in a really tight spot. My 0.02

Apparently it's already patented and sold mainly in Australia.

[@simonilett998]

Nice job👍 I have a 2ft long, 1/2inch drive version of this tool I bought on ebay many years ago, it wasn't too pricey, only difference is mine has a fixed drive at 90° where you used the pivoting style breaker bar head, so your's is actually a bit more useful for leverage when flipped out straight. I've used mine a few times for front crank bolts, flywheel bolts and transmission bolts in tight spots and it works great. I've been trying to think of what to make from a 2ft breaker bar handle, which I broke the head off a while ago. This video gives me a good idea, I think I might make a 3/8 version out of it, like you mentioned👍

Excellent idea/creation. I will be making one of these because it is too dang handy and multi-use. I will throw my 2 cents in and say it will pair well with a small piece of cheater pipe to slide over the joint to regain used of a plain breaker bar. I would also bet a fella could use this to dial in that extra so many degrees after torquing to the number value.

[@COL321]

Looks useful!
