    At least it wasn't a chrome one.....

    And, that type of stuff is why I'm in the small percentage of techs that wear safety glasses without being told... (had a drill bit explode, still have those glasses)...

    favorite family story...My dad brought my brother to a Bruins game when he was little...and Bobby Orr was taking a penalty shot (so maybe we could figure out the exact game) but my brother had fallen asleep and my dad woke him up "HEY, wake up, I want you to see one of the greatest Bruins of all time score a goal" and of course he did...so my brother has that story :)

    Maybe it was power play goal...

    Sometimes it's faster to just make a damn tool.

    That's never fun. Maybe time to get a wrench extender

    I have a bunch of tools, this particular case was a 2nd gen CRV alternator replacement. It's just in a horrible spot and nothing else would fit, it has to clear a ton of stuff to reach in and slack the tensioner pulley.

    Fender and PS pump in the way in one direction, motor mount above it, ABS lines behind and above it, pulley itself and belt path in the way in front and on top

    I was just saying, they make a wrench extender. Would never be the most commonly used tool, but is one that is handy to have when needed
