Next Tool expectation: The cropping tool.

Can confirm. "Drain plug isn't coming off. Get me the six point 14mm and breaker bar. I'll thread this pan before I let this bolt win."

And the final tool is the drill because you sheared the bolt clean off

Came here to say the same thing. Why have that much torque if there are teeth in the way? Give me straight metal, baby!

Then the impact gun...nuked from orbit
Worked a job years back.Putting the final bolt into one of the machine covers using impacts.Sheared the last one off.Very bad day.
Komer
Was that one ugga Dugga or two

Nah, impact may be howitzer, 3/4" impact a JDAM strike. Nuked from orbit? Hydraulic torque wrench.

bar and me lifting on the other.... ended up twisting the socket right off the one-piece tire iron

If that's not enough you add a long bar inside the other end of the pipe. For old rusty plumbing sometimes you need 10' of leverage.

where is the hammer for shocking the bolt or nut
HelloMyNameIsHuman
After that, drill and tap set "FML"
BoxerRZ
Broke a 1/2" drive breaker bar once while taking an axle nut off. Had a 6' pipe on the end of the breaker bar. Must have been about 250ftlbs
pandorafalters
Were you just kinda poking at the end of the pipe or what? 250 ft-lb divided by 6 ft is only 41 2/3 lb.
My bad. Bad math. About 1050 ft-lb.

I've used an 8' fence post before on a car where they took it to a diesel mechanic to have their lugs tightened. Broke two ratchets. 1/2
3rd one broke them loose.
'99 Dodge 2500 4X4 front axle nut, a $26 dealer only part. e46 BMW front ball joint. Both solved with a cutoff wheel.
Cut the BMW control arm to get to the ball joint. Cut a flat side to get vice grips on it to stop it from spinning at the top. That was fun.
Nut splitter.
dav3nasty
And then one of those GIANT impact wrenches that’s broken 4 of your 1in sockets cause you went too cheap on them.
When things don't move & there's no swing room, I use a 3/4" impact with a 1/2" adapter. Never failed me yet, though it can take a while.
IHuggedaCorgiToday
Then you break your breaker bar and curse some more.
WardSharlow
Or better, you apply herculean force to your breaker bar and then the bolt snaps.

Happened to me the first time I changed a tire. My dad gave me a precracked pipe for the breaker bar. My dad was a dick.

That's the top two bolts on my transmission because like HELL am I going to yank the engine out when I can drop the transmission instead.
18" or 24" extension & a ball U-joint is all I've ever needed for upper bellhousing bolts.

WhyDontYouMakeMe
That happened during my first real repair job. It crushed my spirit....
I got pissed and grabbed the saw and took it out in pieces. New bolt and nut are in. Cars back on the road
I feel your pain.... Just broke a cradle bolts head off... Other end is a captured nut inside the body
BGonz
burn
MechaGandalf
a captured nut inside the body, eh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Before the torch I go to the 20v drill gun. I'll fucking rip the head of the bolt off with friction before I waste gas on it.
And then use an extractor bit or what?
MoreCowBellBaby
Then watch the sky fall around you now that you have to drill it iut
I guess I'm saying this for using 15/16 bolts like I do on truss at work. It's not threaded in the trust, just clamping it together.
So if you break the head off the bolt can be smacked through with a hammer and pin.
