Like you been trying to loosen a rusted bolt,and you been fighting it for the last hour. You tugged,pulled, used up all the cuss words you know. Your drippig with sweat and beet red when your neighbor walks up , and as you tell him your plight he picks up the wrench and turns out the offending bolt as if it were just put in finger tight.-- AND THEN COMES THE LOOK !

Seems like the older I get...the more often it happens to me. And along comes buddy Larry and fixes it easily. I just look at him and say "If it was rainin soup...I'd have a fork!" Then go on to the next project before I have time to worry about it. Fred OH

Used to happen until I turned up my air supply to 175 and got my impact flying. Works in most cases. Other times the bolt cap ends up in my bolt head collection jar. That sits on my window sill right next to my easy out collection over by by cigar box full of left hand thread bolts, that I did not know were left hand thread. Watch for all these collections to be on sale soon on the auction page.

Can't begin to count how many times my Dad did something like that to me when we farmed together!

I've got one neighbor that I try to keep from picking up my wrenches. He's as apt to hit something with them as to use them correctly!

For some reason my neighbor doesn't come around when I'm hot, sweaty, and cussing up a storm. My dog tends to disappear for a while too????

No, but I think we all have experienced problems with something and when we go to have it serviced, or looked at by somebody else, it works fine.

It's just as strange on the other side of the deal. I am usually the guy that comes around after the sweating and cussing is over and takes the bolt out. I always wondered about that, it doesn't make sense.

Stuff doesn't break for me, so I am useless at diagnosing a problem.

The car won't make that strange sound for me that is driving my wife bonkers.

That's one of the good points of aging. If I hear a strange noise in my truck, I simply turn down my hearing aids! Problem solved!
