It was $10 at Harbor Freight on clearance (I haven't seen them since, but they have a 25" one about the same price)

When I had my 06 G35 coupe I had to use the short arm bar several times. I found, that if you have the arm bar parallel to the ground once you have it on a lug nut, come directly down on it with your dominate foot hard which is basically stomping on it and you can break the lug nut loose.
A bar that short doesn't give you any leverage obviously lol.
