I have one of those and I've used it to remove axle nuts off my old passat.
I do use a cheater pipe with this breaker bar.  My 3 ton jack handle works
nicely with this bar.  I take off the handle, pull the plastic handle off
the top part, slide the breaker bar into the handle and turn away.

Have fun,
