Shop online at HF. the kind you want is not the pivoting head style.. I suggest, but the large round bar style with the sliding piece on it, that has the drive piece on it. I bought mine ...might be an SK tool brand, about 36 years ago in Medford, OR for about 30 bucks, and that was a lot of money at the time to me. Still as good as the day I got it. I have a really nice flange holder tool I made out of an old steet mercedes benz wheel.. bolts onto the flange studs, a 20 inch or so bar extends from it against the floor. That anin't going anywhere when it's time to undo or tighten that big nut. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Hanson" <dhanson928@GMAIL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Friday, July 22, 2011 6:24 AM Subject: Harbor Freight 3/4" drive breaker bar? > I see HF sells one for under $20.
