1/2-Inch Drive Knuckle/Head Repair Set for Breaker Bar

Brief Overview

This is a direct replacement knuckle/head assembly for 1/2-inch drive breaker bars. The set restores full functionality to damaged or worn breaker bars without requiring complete tool replacement. Whether your shop stocks breaker bars as core inventory or maintains customer equipment, having replacement knuckles on hand extends tool lifespan and reduces waste. For shops working with steering systems, we also stock suspension assembly tools that require similar precision handling.

Key Components Included

• Machined Yoke-Style Knuckle: Matte-black hardened steel body with U-shaped slot and dual through-holes for secure coupling
• Square-Drive Stub: Chrome-plated short stub with integrated detent ball for positive drive engagement
• Retaining Bolt: Black hex-socket shoulder bolt with precision threads for secure assembly
• Spring Retainers: Two coiled retention rings to maintain component alignment during use

Why This Matters for Your Business

Cost Recovery: Repair damaged breaker bars instead of discarding them. A single replacement knuckle set eliminates the need to source entire new tools, preserving customer relationships and reducing your parts overhead.

Inventory Flexibility: Stock these kits alongside your breaker bar inventory. They move quickly when customers return tools with worn knuckles—a common failure point under high-torque applications.

Margin Opportunity: Position this as a service add-on ("Tool Restoration Service") or sell directly to fleet maintenance shops that rotate breaker bars across multiple mechanics. Low weight and compact packaging mean high-margin shelf utilization.

Bottom Line
