Gearwrench 87802 Breaker Bar 18 Inch Flexible Head

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 87802 is an 18-inch overall-length breaker bar designed for high-torque fastener removal in professional shop, fleet, and field service environments. Built from steel with a chrome finish, it features a flexible head that pivots to adjust the angle of attack, giving technicians better leverage in confined spaces. The chrome plating resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward. This bar meets ANSI and ASME B107.10 standards, confirming it is manufactured to recognized industry performance criteria. Licensed mechanics, heavy equipment techs, and general service professionals rely on tools like this when standard ratchets lack the leverage to break loose seized or over-torqued fasteners.

The 87802 is suited for use in automotive, diesel, agricultural, and industrial maintenance settings where a long-handle breaker bar is part of the standard socket drive setup. The flexible head accommodates a range of working angles, making it practical in engine bays, undercarriage work, and equipment panels where straight-line access is limited. It is sized and finished consistently with professional-grade hand tool inventories and integrates directly into standard socket drive setups.

Key Features

• 18-inch overall length for extended leverage on stubborn fasteners
• Flexible head pivots to adjust working angle in tight spaces
• Steel construction with chrome finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• Meets ANSI and ASME B107.10 standards
• Compact cross-section for fitting into crowded work areas

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-drive breaker bar compatible with common socket drive accessories in professional hand tool sets.

Installation Notes

Breaker bars are used by mechanics and service technicians as a non-ratcheting drive tool for breaking loose fasteners before switching to a ratchet. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force. Do not use a pipe or cheater bar to extend the handle beyond its designed length, as this can overstress the tool and create a safety hazard. Inspect the pivot head and drive tang for wear or damage before each use.
