Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run it on a breaker bar?

Yes. With a 1/2" square drive it takes a ratchet, an extension or a breaker bar when a fastener needs more leverage.

Is it strong enough for tight bolts?

For hand tools, yes. Put it on a breaker bar and it will shift a tight fastener, but leave impact guns to a proper impact socket.

Is M6 the same as the bolt size?

Not necessarily. M6 describes the RIBE drive profile in the head, which is not always the same number as the thread size of the bolt.
