dumdum if you're talking about the for at the end, then yeah of course they're goona splay and snap if you put too much force through them.
saying not as if the bar shatters in half and bounces back in your face.
tbh if you're gonna stick scaff over it and hang off it you're looking for trouble. I've never broken one in 'normal' use, aka not expecting it to do anymore torque than it should for a 1/2. Tools for the job, get the 3/4 out and a long bar, work safe and considered - give me a lever big enough ...etc
Works same other way with chaps doing everything with a 1/2 ratchet set and over torquing, snapping lil 8mm bolts ...etc
Yes I have hung off the end of a big 'persuader' slipped over the end of a bar, and yes it has broke or slipped and I have hurt myself :p
