1/2 Inch Drive Breaker Bar, 10 Inch Flex Handle 265 mm

The Teng Tools M120010-C is a 1/2 inch drive flex handle, the tool US mechanics also call a breaker bar. It has an articulated head, a ball detent retainer on the drive end and an ergonomic bi-material grip, and it is listed by Teng Tools as a 10 inch handle, measuring 265 mm (10.4 in) long.

The head pivots, so you can put the handle at the angle that clears whatever is around the fastener. That makes it useful in confined spaces and at awkward angles, where a fixed bar or a ratchet with a fixed head would hit something before it had turned far enough. The ball detent retainer gives a secure socket connection in high torque situations.

The handle is constructed from chrome vanadium with a satin finish for strength and control and adheres to DIN 3122F standards, according to Teng Tools. The bi-material grip is designed for comfort during prolonged use, and a tethering facility is provided for use with a tool tether when working at height. It weighs 492 g (1.1 lb).

Use it as a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar to free tight fasteners, then switch to a ratchet. Buyers also search for it as a socket breaker bar or a wrench breaker bar. It takes any 1/2 inch drive socket and accessory, and it is the same handle Teng Tools includes in its TT1211 and TTESK63 sets. Among breaker bars it is a compact length for drawer storage and work in tight spaces.

What you get: 1 x 1/2 inch drive flex handle, 265 mm (10.4 in). Sockets and tool tether are not included.

• The square drive head pivots on the end of the bar, so this 1/2 breaker bar can turn a socket straight on or with the handle swung to one side. The flexible head helps you reach fasteners at awkward angles and in confined spaces, where a fixed handle would hit a chassis member, a bracket or the engine beside the nut.
• A ball detent retainer on the drive end gives a secure socket connection in high torque situations, so the socket stays on the 1/2 drive breaker bar when you set it on a tight nut or bolt and lean on the handle. There is no ratcheting mechanism to slip and no safety lock to release, just a solid square drive on a pivoting head.
• An ergonomic bi-material grip is designed for comfort during prolonged use, so your hand stays on the handle when you are freeing a run of seized fasteners one after another. Teng Tools also lists a tethering facility, for use with a tool tether when you work at height. Tether not included.
• Constructed from chrome vanadium with a satin finish for strength and control, and made to DIN 3122F standards according to Teng Tools. Use it with 1/2 inch drive sockets and accessories to break fasteners loose, then change to a ratchet to run them out quickly.
• Teng Tools lists this as a 1/2 inch drive 10 inch flex handle, and it measures 265 mm (10.4 in) long and weighs 492 g (1.1 lb). The length is compact enough for a toolbox drawer and for work under a vehicle, while the bar still gives you real leverage on a tight fastener. The same handle is part of the Teng Tools TT1211 and TTESK63 sets.
