Craftsman Breaker Bar Comes in Handy Posted by Duhey2 [Email] (#151) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Duhey2) on Mon, 5 Mar 2001 23:46:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Sorry for this being slightly off topic but since I carry the breaker bar in my 96 900S, I thought I'd share it with y'all....
This evening my girlfriend and I were out for a little while and we went back to get her car at a parking garage. I drop her off and head for the exit and hear her blow her horn. I look back and she accidently drove her POS Mitsubishi Eclipse into those large concrete "ties" at the heads of parking spaces. Well the drivers tire pushed the tie on the left forward and the pax tire went over the tie on the right. Since her car is low to the ground, the right side was almost beached. I tried pulling the tie with my hand and couldn't get a grip on it.
Lo and behold a very dim lightbulb went off in my head and I pulled the breaker bar from my trunk and stuck the handle into one of the holes and moved those things like they were on wheels.
Moral, that breaker bar (1/2" drive) was one of the best purchases I ever made....it makes removing tires a snap (with a 17mm deep socket), could be used for self defense, and allowed me to use leverage and move those things things so she could just drive away.
And I want her to get a new car.....
