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...

    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.

    Induction bolt heater FTW. Seriously, it's magic to get a bolt glowing red while leaving everything next to it room temperature

    In my experience a nice rubber mallet can be useful before having to resort to the “you should have listened” stage.

    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.

    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.
