Update:
From end to end, the ratchet is 7 1/2 inches long.
The center of the ratchet head is about 5/8 of an inch in, meaning there's basically 6 7/8 inches of handle delivering the torque.
Yea man I usually try to use something with at least 12in handle in order to get enough torque.
Usually caliper bracket bolts are anywhere from 65 to 115 ft lbs torque in most cases.
You do not want those to fall out.
Oh, very true, definitely don't want any bolts or nuts coming loose.
I started working on and rebuilding go-kart engines like 30 years ago at age 12, and started working on vehicles around age 22. I've never had any screw, bolt, or nut that I've installed ever come loose, and my roommate's brakes are no exception, they're not going to come loose.
It just dumbfounds me that I managed to twist break an extension like that, with my bare hands and muscles and all.
After breaking the extension, I dug deeper into the trunk to get our boxed in wrenches to tighten everything back up, no problem there.
Honestly I think the extension was made of mild steel, not good tempered steel.
