Product Description

1/2" Drive Breaker Bar / Power Bar – 600mm | Britool Hallmark

Professional 600mm Breaker Bar for High-Torque Fasteners

The Britool Hallmark 1/2" Drive Breaker Bar is a professional-quality hand tool designed to provide the extra leverage needed for loosening seized, rusted, overtightened and stubborn nuts and bolts.

Also commonly known as a power bar, knuckle bar or flex handle, this breaker bar features a 600mm long handle and hinged 1/2" drive knuckle, making it ideal for automotive servicing, mechanical repairs, workshop maintenance and general engineering applications.

Manufactured from high-quality Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, the bar is built for strength and durability, with a maximum torque rating of up to 512Nm in accordance with DIN standards.

  • 1/2" square drive for use with compatible sockets
  • 600mm overall length for increased leverage
  • Maximum torque rating of up to 512Nm
  • Meets applicable DIN torque standard
  • Hinged knuckle head for flexible positioning
  • Ideal for loosening seized, rusted and stubborn fasteners

600mm Length for Increased Leverage

With an overall length of 600mm, this breaker bar provides considerably more leverage than a standard ratchet, allowing greater torque to be applied with less effort.

The long handle makes it particularly useful when tackling stubborn fasteners such as wheel nuts, suspension bolts, hub fasteners and other heavily tightened nuts and bolts.

Hinged 1/2" Drive Knuckle

The hinged knuckle allows the working angle of the socket to be adjusted relative to the handle. This provides greater flexibility when positioning the bar and can improve access when working around vehicle components or in restricted areas.

The standard 1/2" square drive makes the bar compatible with a wide range of commonly used 1/2" drive sockets.

Up to 512Nm Maximum Torque

The breaker bar has a maximum torque capability of up to 512Nm, meeting the applicable DIN standard.

This makes it a dependable choice for automotive repair and general workshop applications where additional leverage is required without stepping up to a larger 3/4" drive breaker bar.

Chrome Vanadium Steel Construction

Manufactured from high-quality Chrome Vanadium steel, the Britool Hallmark power bar offers the strength, durability and wear resistance required for regular workshop use.

Replaceable Knuckle Repair Kit

The knuckle end of a breaker bar is subjected to considerable stress during use and is therefore considered a consumable component.

Rather than replacing the complete breaker bar when the knuckle eventually becomes worn or damaged, a replacement repair kit is available separately under part number LP600/RK.
