Yeah, Don, I don't like the design of that first breaker bar, even though it is common. The second one with the "anti-slip" tape is better. I used the ratchet from the HF socket set. Thought I might damage the pawl, but it is quite sturdy.

Clever. I'm just kicking myself now that I spent 27 bucks on a hardened, 6-point deepdrive socket that's only 1/2 inch. Maybe NAPA will let me exchange.
