No 5 foot pipe used as a cheater bar after making peace with death?
When I worked in a shop one of the other mechanics had to have his front teeth replaced after a using a cheater bar.
How the hell.
My guess is the tube broke and the wrench went flying
Edit: typo x2
Everything worked as designed. The stubborn nut broke loose, but he was pulling toward his face.
Cordless impacts let you skip that step and go straight to the broken bolt.

In my experience a nice rubber mallet can be useful before having to resort to the “you should have listened” stage.
… “OK the hard way” or “I wasn’t joking” hmm
How about “If you really insist”?
Fuck me, this hits right in the feels
The 5 stages of "Rust"ration
That’s me at step 3 about to get mentally ready to move to step 4 when I get his crazy idea and try to turn in the opposite direction.
Induction bolt heater FTW. Seriously, it’s magic to get a bolt glowing red while leaving everything next to it room temperature
My stage 4
Alright bitch
try giving it the blowtorch as a warning for a couple seconds. that usually scares the screw enough to come loose via normal wrench.
The last pic is the same if you’re trying to connect pieces.
No impact driver? Satisfying and a frustration release.
that torch will leave an impact.
5 is a bit excessive, cut the bolt head off with 4 then drill and re-tap the threads.
I’m sure the company/client wouldn’t appreciate the hole being all mangled with oxy-acetylene.
Soo, the crank is rated for that huge lever, doesn’t break?
Crank that soulja boy
