1/2" Breaker Bar

[GC8]

What length?

I want one but dont particularly need one so Im looking for an ideal length.

I got one off the net, 1 metre, works fine for me, just that vibration once the bolt had broken. I think any longer, I would just get just tube to extend it or a impact gun.

Depends on what you're doing. No point in going longer than you need, it'll just get in the way.

Mine is only 18" (oooh-errrrr missus) which seems fine for suspension and brakes etc.

Std garage eqpt is 24" man enough for most needs

I would say 36" and maybe 12" also.

If there's enough room for 24", there's probably enough room for a 36" - they aren't expensive and it makes removing wheel nuts easy.

I took an engine mount off that should've been tightened to something like 60nm. It took a LOT of effort to get it to undo even with a 36" breaker bar. I think I really would've struggled with a much shorter one!
