There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Should at least put the ratchet down a bit more in the hole for safety sake!

Thirty years ago or so I worked for Sears and replaced quite a few bent and broken wrenches. Generally it is the ratchet that goes. That handle fits really nice inside a pipe. I have a 1/2 inch breaker bar that has a 1/2 in opening in the end for inserting extension(s). If nothing else works isn't that what hammers are for? Vern

I think that if you change the socket to a 9/16” it just might work.

I was thinking about a different socket when I post the pic. :lol:
