If you know, you know.

There are tools for that job that are better than what he's using.

Finally someone said it

@GiGiTX214 Introducing the box ratchet wrench ⬇️

@CaAmericanLady It doesn't show the person upside down on a concrete floor with a leg over a tire.

@thetoyman1 Ever want to punch an engineer in the face? 🤣

@WyattCatarina Because of the cast housng protruding you can not fit a socket on the bolt. Because of the distance between the bolt and the housing you can not fit a ratchet wrench on the bolt.

At least you can see what you are doing in this video. It’s usually reach up around something with three fingers and hope you are on the right bolt.

Until you have to do this with multiple wrenches from different manufacturers because of the degree offset of the head, you don’t truly know the struggle. Example: wrench 1 side A, wrench 2 side A, wrench 1 side B, wrench 2 side B, … repeat for hours until the 2-1/2” bolt is out because the bolt threads are galled just enough from rust that the two finger tips you can get onto the bolt head cannot turn it out by hand.

@HistorianUSA1 Ive had to grind a couple wrenches. They're the 'special' ones now.

I’m triggered now.

Sorry Rick

I’ll be fine. 🤣

Our pain is real. Sometimes you just want to punch an engineer in the throat. Gettin' the job done 1/16 turn at a time..

And there is something sharp that drags across the back of your hand with each turn...

Everyone knows that about a wrench, right? Why not use a socket wrench?

My knuckles just started to spontaneously bleed and my son asked me if he was holding the light right... we are at the dinner table.. Why do you do this to me...

Thats actually pretty nice, at least you can see. Its much more fun when you are laying upside down in a cramped spot and going totally by feel with your arm twisted around a pillar.

Welcome to 2026. You can throw your grandpa‘s wrenches away now.

Ugh a couple hours ago, and didnt havr enough space for socket...and my ratcheting wrench was too big for space

I’ve reached the point where I’ll chop and weld a custom wrench for a single stubborn bolt.

Ive had to do this when a shallow socket wouldn't fit. Amazon wrench got angle grinded but you know.

This made my knuckles hurt.

And the bolt that requires the reversing angle wrench treatment has to be in the most uncomfortable position possible, with a blind nut that falls at the end with a clank, never to be seen again. Thank you mechanical engineers.

This is why the water pump and steering pump repair is always a DIY.The labour costs and part mark are scary. Not nearly as extreme as the labour costs to get your tr2nsmission rebuilt but it will be a doozy for those two.

So annoying especially when you’re in the most uncomfortable position which is always.

This is how profanity was invented.

@louisedbegin I once spent a $100 on tools to replace a $60 part..👊

When you finally get it completely snugged after that tedious process.. definitely time for a beer n smoke break haha

It could be worse.

Ratchet?

I feel the pain

he should get a box spanner and can then use a ratchet socket.

Ratchet wrench ftw.

"I think it'd be fun" she says

just smack it with a hammer a couple times. it'll start
