I didn't mean to imply that you would literally use it as an actual breaker bar. It just means that when in reverse, my wrench's torque mechanism isn't even engaged. I feel comfortable using it in reverse for similar amounts of force as to what the torque ranch would see in proper use. I use an actual breaker bar when I am trying to break a stuck fastener loose.I would also steer away from using a torque wrench as a breaker bar (I'm not referring to ohthetrees post here) I mean as a legit breaker bar - maxing out the scale and giving it all you have. in the context of the video there's nothing wrong with how I used the tool.
