I used to get my big tools from Sears, now they have a Home Depot right
near by (politics aside) they have Husky tools that are made i the USA
and are decent quality.

I suggest the drive for the socket you get be larger than 3/4"- better
to be half inch, breaker bars in this size are usually like 2 feet in
length or more - makes torquing easier.

Mixing up the subject is the size of the socket and the size of the
drive. Large metric sizes are often hard to find but when they get this
big SAE begins to be so close as to be able to fudge it.
