What's you idea of breaking the bank? I have this Snap on one. Always gets the job done.

Actually. I picked up this Snappy ratchet on ebay for $40 used and I havent needed to use my breaker bar since.

It doesn't bend at all like my Snap-on breaker bar and though I'm sure the ratchet is ultimately the weak point, it's held up great. Never put an extension on it though I have bounced my entire body weight(215lbs) on it. Break-em loose then speed em off. Great for loosening main studs or head bolts.

For wheel nuts or strut through bolts(michigan winters are never kind to them) that the impact wont budge, I went to sears and bought a 3/4 drive breaker bar and socket. It's not 24", but the 3/4 drive transmits more torque and the bar doesn't bend anywhere near what my 1/2 drive does.

I have a three foot piece of steel pipe nicknamed "The Arm of God". Needless to say, it has never lost a battle.
