Broke 3 1/2 ratchets and a 1/2 breaker bar trying to get an axle nut off. Finally gave up went out and bought a 3/4inch breaker bar/ratchet socket set.

Broke a 3/8ths breaker bar and a 3/8ths ratchet the same day.

All tools were taken back to the same store at the same time and returned without an issue.

My $450 snap on impact gun could not get these bolts off.

really? My $200 CP impact took that shit off with a quickness. The car only had about 20k miles on it though.

You definitely can't blame Craftsman for breaking 3/8" drive ratchets trying to remove axle nuts. I would have thought a 1/2" bar would be fine. PB blaster prior to?

Yeah, fucking Subaru's. They were 1/2 drive ratchets. With a shit ton of PB blaster and even tried heating it up.

Not a DSM, Subaru.

I cant afford new tools, but i think i am going to go snap on next. My craftsman is breaking and im tired of hitting up the parts store for tools.
