You don't want to abuse a torque wrench by using it as a breaker bar. Technically you could crank up the torque and loosen bolts that aren't as tight as the torque setpoint, but you never want to keep pushing on the wrench after it clicks, in either direction. You'll damage the spring and mechanism. Breaker bars are cheaper than a torque wrench
I would definitely not use a torque wrench as a breaker bar, but that's just me.
I have four torque wrenches, to cover most ranges. Even the big ones, I treat with respect and store carefully (usually in the supplied case - or in one I bought for it). Not a tool you want to just toss into your tools bin. EDIT: Oh, and don't forget to set the tool to "neutral" after every use. The cases usually help ensure that.

Here's a dumb question: since they're so long can you use this torque wrench as a breaker bar or would that not play nice with the gears in it?

You'd probably hit the max torque if you need a breaker bar, and you'd instantly lose some leverage at that point.

Then it's probably best not to abuse a tool that needs repeatable results

This is a nice deal. It's nice that it has the lifetime warranty unlike Craftsman. I ended going with Tekton as it is made in Taiwan and this is China if I recall correctly. Also, this wasn't on sale when I was in the market.

Does anyone have any experience between this and the Pittsburg one from harbor freight? I have the Pittsburg but wondering if this would be an improvement?

I bought the 3/8 and the 1/2 a few years back (for the same price) to finally retire the disposable HF Pittsburg ones, which I already had replaced at least 3 times. Haven't had any issues and haven't had to exchange these once so far, though the Husky warranty is there if I do need it.

The collar adjustment works much better than on the HF ones as well. Great tools at a surprisingly uninflated price.

I have never had my 2 pittsburg HF wrenches tested. However, I do feel like you get consistent torque in high torque situations like lug nuts. You don't want uneven torque when doing a water pump or valve cover, plus you need accuracy in the low torque range. The one OP posted has a nice high range of 250lbs. I don't think the HF ones get anywhere near 200 ft lbs. This extra is needed for things like the crank bolt when doing timing belts (at least on my Acura). For those, I just did a loan a tool from Autozone or Advanced (?) for free. My opinion is that I would only get a high end 1/4" or 3/8" since you're dealing significant accuracy needs for LOW torque situations... I have had my 3/8" HF sheer an aluminum bolt b/c it failed to click...that's a total bitch when you have no spare bolts and in the middle of a timing belt job on the weekend.

The Husky is better built and feels very solid. It also has a lifetime warranty. Husky is the new Craftsman in my book. Have always liked their tools.
