Impromptu cheater bar in a junkyard

Galvanized water pipe is cheap and fits the ratchet better. Also a better weapon.

I typically just scrounge around until I find a cut section sitting close by. That being said, I've walked off from my tools for about 2 minutes to find a piece of exhaust to use as a breaker to come back and see a couple unscroupulous dickbags eyeing my toolbox. They didn't look enthusiastic about it when I came running and screaming at them like an extra from "Beyond Thunderdome."

At any picknpull I've ever frequented(most of lower MI), you don't let the tools leave your sight, ever. Anything laying on the ground is free game, as a scrupulous only sort of dickbag, I only pick up unboxed tools on the ground that are clearly forgotten. That's how I got my breaker bar, come to think of it.

My buddy and I used a leg press from a home gum he had in the bed of his pick up as a cheater bar once.

I keep a 2 inch diametre thick walled aluminum pipe buried next to the spare in my car for a cheater bar.
