LOL!! I occasionally use that as well. In one of my bottom draws of a tool box, I have galvanized fence pipes of various lengths and diameters. In my O2 sensor removal, I didn't have one with a big enough diameter opening to fit over the open end side of a 7/8" wrench. I had to get a new wrench or cut the open end side off.

I really like this guys YouTube video of How to replace O2 sensors. This is a lot closer to my usual experiences when doing repairs. Starting around 4:34 of video "Dawg gone it....that darn things stuck....I'm gonna have to get the BFH or some other tool to get that darn thing out."

I've learned when most people say it should take 30-60 min to do a particular job, for me that typically means 30-60 minutes just to put away and clean up all the tools that I had to pull out and use to try and do the job.
