    I wish I had thought of that when we needed to open a track wheel nut from my tank back in '99, it didn't budge with a 2*90kg's of humans at the end of a 1,5m long arm.
    We could have just shot it loose with the main gun of a 122-mm self-propelled howitzer that was on the other side of the hangar.
