Nice click out of one….
Four is binding, and it seems they’ve dropped into a false-set.
And binding on five.
And back to one
I'm the designated jar opener in my family, if they bring it to my couch while I'm watching the news, I'm sure I can get it open in a couple seconds. Then they can say the customary thank you, which is "oh, I must have loosened it." and then leave.
I take the jar, open it, say "That was easy, here, you try" before putting the lid back on really tight.
Have they tried running it under hot water for a minute or so?
Just tap it with the handle of a table knife
You gotta run it under the tap for a minute first, to help loosen it up.
Multiple combination wrenches (spanners). Most other brute force methods are obviously out.
Use a hex bit on the bolt, one small wrench to grip the bit and chain a few wrenches together for leverage. They will wrap around in an approximate circle for a small space.
Naw it’s obviously BFH time!
They are working in a small sealed space, filled with nitrogen and only a small access hatch. So .... SFH?
Tiny fucking air hammer, they'll get dental tools and get it open.
Add a tiny fucking blowtorch and they might just break those bolts.
A little WD-40 should take care of it!
Maybe they should take this as a sign…
It has thargoid sensor fragments inside
If not friend, then why flower shaped?
They're Love-me-nots, you have to pluck the petals
For ?
A sign they shouldn't over-torque fasteners of course.
Canna pb blaster canna map gas and a match and I got u nasa
Do they not have hammers?
Just put a length of scaff tube on the end of the spanner….lean into it real good.
If that fails it must be time for the BFH
If that fails get a BBFH
Then Scaff tube again
Then call old mate to smash it with a BBBFH while you lean on the scaff tube.
