    I got the bolt loose with 1/2 tool but for torquing it up again I don't recommend you to try. It will break and it's easy to do damage to yourself/car once it does

    I guess you already know since you are asking for it but just saying as I was very close to ruin myself on those stupid attempts with 1/2.

    I bought a tool looking exactly like this from the Halfords equivalent in Norway. It was under their 10 year warranty so those tools usually are good but the ones that do not have 10 year warranty is crap It is short, but I used a 1.5m long pipe on the outside of it as a extension.

        Get the Halfords one, at least if it breaks when you're swinging off it with a 6ft length of scaffolding pipe, they'll replace it under the lifetime guarantee

        Just make sure you keep the reciept, and find a friend with a trade card, you get a good discount on tools
