broken tool thread

[gojo83]

Long story short trying to break down this dead motor to get the front cover off so i can keep it as a spare and polish it and have it machined for a double roller but I used my cheap impact from HF then got a bigger one I have heard good reviews on. Still wouldnt move after a while a buddy said get a good breaker bar and go that route... use the chinese made one I had and it snapped so I run to lowes and grab a kobalt brand one and it twists the head of the breaker bar... well today I go to sears and get a craftsman one and wouldnt you know now my cheater bar is too small for the handle of the bar... FML oh well guess i will get a new cheater pipe and see if I cant bust it... just venting been one of those days

I haven't broken anything recently but that's because i haven't been working on any cars. Last thing I've broken is I went through 3 Stanley 3/8s drive ratchets. I snapped two off and the new ones the screw that holds them together comes out and they fly everywhere. The black chrome ones are held together by a keeper ring. I've had luck with it so far.
