Yeah, that's the correct word for it a breaker bar. I try to stay away from trying to rip off a bolt buy prying on it. I use a penetrating catalyst on bolts that don't want to come off. Then after about 10 minutes after spraying it on I go after trying to take it off again. I try to use swivel sockets for the hard to reach bolts so they are for sure even on the bolt. WHen I mean even, I mean that the socket is over one side of the bolt as much as the other sides. Worse problem I have ever found was when I broke 3 sockets and one 3/8 drive ratchet in one day working on a diesel truck, but good thing was life time warranty.
