    Not enough to have a build thread.
    There's a particular set of brakes that I always use this trick for - beat the ever living piss out of the open side of the wrench with a hammer (I use a little 3lb sledge) while the box end is on the bolt.

    Maybe try a crowsfoot wrench and a long breaker bar if it'll fit or a pipe over the wrench.

    Agreed. They sell it in 3/4" and 1" diameter. I'm sure they will cut it to size for you and would cost less than $10. I use that to make pipe clamps for wood working.
