Try applying penetrating oil. Avoid excessive force, as it can damage the tool. If the fastener remains stuck, consider using a different tool.
Troubleshooting
Breaker bar flexes excessively under load.
Ensure the socket is properly seated. If the issue persists, the fastener may be seized, and penetrating oil is recommended.
Knuckle joint feels loose or unstable.
Discontinue use immediately. The joint may be damaged and could fail under load. Replace the breaker bar.
Unable to loosen a fastener.
Apply penetrating oil to the fastener and allow time for it to soak in. Use a longer breaker bar if necessary, but be mindful of the knuckle joint's limitations.
