Re: Just broke a Craftsman 1/2 drive

Not uncommon when you use a pipe.  The wrench is made short on purpose.  Sears
used to make some longer ones but found out they didn't hold up.  That's why
they make "Breaker Bars" and then again only up to a certain length.  I've
repaired many of these rachets which showed signs of pipe use.  Next time use a
3/4 drive.  That's why most tool manufactures make larger sizes.
