I bought a 12v impact wrench for $50. works a treat. jacking a breaker bar can end horrible when the socket slips and the bar goes flying.

Agreed. I was sweating a bit until I saw the bolt move a bit then I knew I was winning.

1/2" ratchet/socket and some arm powa does the job for me every time and I don't even eat weetbix any more ;)

A good little trick is to give the bolts a squirt with some WD40/CRC5.56 before hand, helps to get things moving if I'm having a lazy day.

A rattle gun is something I really want to have in my toolbox. Just need to decide which one. Cordless, 240v or air powered.

Your not serious stating this, surely

A bigger hammer, the answer is always get a bigger hammer, a longer bar, or a rattlier rattle gun :spot on:
