I have one of those and I've used it to remove axle nuts off my old passat. I do use a cheater pipe with this breaker bar. My 3 ton jack handle works nicely with this bar. I take off the handle, pull the plastic handle off the top part, slide the breaker bar into the handle and turn away. Have fun, Jim Wilmington, NC
