What is cheater pipe?

A cheater pipe, also known as a breaker bar or extension bar, is a tool used in conjunction with a ratchet or wrench to provide extra leverage when loosening or tightening bolts or nuts. It is typically a hollow metal tube that can be attached to the end of a ratchet or wrench, allowing the user to apply more force to the tool.

Cheater pipes come in various lengths and diameters to suit different applications and requirements. They are commonly used in automotive, construction, and mechanical maintenance and repair work where stubborn or corroded fasteners need to be loosened.

It is important to use caution when using a cheater pipe, as excessive force can damage the fastener or the tool being used. It is recommended to use the appropriate size and length of cheater pipe for the job at hand, and to ensure that all components are securely attached before applying force.
