Is this a good flea market buy?

Those are my favorite breaker bars.They are solid and I like the feel.i bought a couple of Snap-On bars around 1980,I wasted my money.I don't like the feel,and they are just like big springs.I can jump on them and they will bounce me up and down.You jump on that Sears bar and it will either break loose,break off,or stop you dead.

Whut he said.

I left my 1/2" craftsman on a bumper after tightening a trailer ball who knows what ever became of it, no other breaker bar has ever came close to what it would do. I broke the other one a SK replaced it with a snap-on (what a joke)
 
Work in my shop about every day and Id bet its been 3-4 years since Ive had a breaker bar in my hands. If a ratchet wont do the job out comes tbe impact wrench.
 
Good buy. I have one like those and an SK 1/2 inch with a rubber grip. Comfortable but it will twist a little. Funny thing, For years I rarely used my breaker bar but the last few I often go for it first. I wonder why?
 
I go to TONS of flea markets, swap meets, yard sales, thrift stores and old tractor shows all winter in Florida, Ive seen those very same or even better (Craftsman, S&K, Mac, etc etc) breaker bars in the $10 to $20 range and most people will deal given an offer..

Fair price but not a steal or any great deal but TO EACH THEIR OWN its worth what one is willing to pay, if needed and theres no better deal available, GO FOR IT

You are lucky if you can get an impact to the job, most times you cannot get to where you need tee socket you cannot get an impact in there.

There is quite a bit of beefy difference between those two identical model(?) breaker bars.
 
its Craftsman - I think owned now by Stanley-Black&Decker - Lowes still does warranty exchanges on Craftsman hand tools -- the ones they sell, anyways --
