If you've done this you've also skinned the hell out of your knuckles when it inevitably slipped and yelled enough expletives to fill a giant pickle jar with cash.have you ever done this? BTW I have tried it.
You have to move on one plane and one plane only... You can exert a fair amount of force and benefit from the extra leverage.... but man no tipping the wrench... move on one plane only...If you've done this you've also skinned the hell out of your knuckles when it inevitably slipped and yelled enough expletives to fill a giant pickle jar with cash.
Easier said than done when the whole reason you're typically doing this is because the bolt you're trying to get to is tucked away in some horribly inaccessible spot thanks to some jerk of an engineer (I'm an engineer).You have to move on one plane and one plane only...

My brother is an engineer. He had the same feeling. He worked on rader components for Martin Marietta. He had to design the upgrades in the 737 radar systems, but it still had to fit in the same space as they are modular. He also said that the writer of Dilbert had cameras in his work space. But I digress.Easier said than done when the whole reason you're typically doing this is because the bolt you're trying to get to is tucked away in some horribly inaccessible spot thanks to some jerk of an engineer (I'm an engineer).
No arguement there.... moving a wrench with a wrench is not for the faint of heart.
