No 5 foot pipe used as a cheater bar after making peace with death?
Was gonna ask the same.
Very little doesn't give way to a cheater pipe. Now, it may not be the part you want giving way...
Weakest link was where it was going to break anyway. At least it moves the goal to something new..
The goal isn't you though
This guy gets it.
When you get the cheater bar you aren't working towards a resolution anymore. You are working towards satisfaction.
If you win: good. It shoulda given and saved us both the time.
If it loses: good. Rust in pieces.
My dad's go to phrase was always "I'm either gonna fix it or fuck it up."
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.
