The term width across flats (AF) is used for the following forms: 2-socket = round material with two surfaces.
A breaker bar (also known as a power bar) is a long non-ratcheting bar that is used with socket wrench -style sockets. They are used to break loose very tight fasteners because their additional length allows the same amount of force to generate significantly more torque than a standard length socket wrench. [1]: 1, 3 Their use prevents damage ...
