Northern Tools breaker bar 3/4"

I know its not the best but only going to use it a few times to remove a 30mm bolt thats has 405 ft lbs of torque. What do you think?
heres a link to it:

I'd get one from harbor Freight for less than half the cost; they're all made in China....

go with a 1" at 400 ft. lbs. your going to have to put some a_ _ into it.. use a pipe extension as well if you have the room..if you have a harbour junk around try them for the 1"....the 3/4"drive may twist off..

you might be able to buy a whole 1" drive set from H.J. and then sell it after...they aren't very much on sale....

I was looking at the Northern Tools one because its 40" long...Ya my problem is that I really should buy an Torque Wrench that will work for 400lbs. only one I found is a Snap On but its $480. What im doing is installing a lift kit and the track bolt needs 405torque and the pitman arm needs 350torque.
Thanks ~Gage~

If you're removing a bolt that has 405 ft/lbs of torque on it you'll definitely need either a really long "cheater bar(piece of pipe)" or access to air and an impact gun! If the truck has any age on it then those bolts and nuts don't give easy! Good luck.

O ya I forgot to say that I have an impact gun with 700ft/lbs of torque, I know I can use this to get the bolts off but dont want to use it to reinstall the bolts.
Also the truck is a 2005 no rust on bolts.
