MAXIMUM 1/2-in Drive Torque Wrench & 24-in Breaker Bar Combo Pack
I got this combo during the last sale in April, used it to do tire swap on both of my cars. Both torque wrench and breaker bar worked great.

breaker bar to loosen up the nuts and torque wrench is to tighten it up with certain amount of torque and cannot be over-tighten or too loose.

Adapters rob half the power, and if using non impact sockets you lose %40 power also
You need brake bar to crack the nuts loose the. Use impact.

It has a knurled aluminum handle rather than a plastic one. The markings are engraved rather than etched or printed. It has a full 24 inch length so you get maximum leverage.

I know you can buy a $20 Princess Auto special to do the same job that would suit many people, but this CT one is a lot better quality and weighs a decent amount.

I bought it to replace a Snap On split beam flex head torque wrench, which I prefer, but broke at the head. No warranty on it. Not going to spend $400 on another.
