A breaker bar is a breaker bar, right?

>buy sandpaper
>not even made out of sand

>>2967886
impact is the only answer

>>2967950
Yeah I'm gonna have to get a 1/2"-3/4" adapter because the only socket I've got that fits it is 3/4" drive
>>
>>2967951
Do yourself a favor and get a 3/4" drive impact of you're going to work on equipment much... I picked up a 3/4 Ingersoll rand air impact at an auction for $15. Sucker packs some serious whallop.
>>
>>2967953
Yeah I got one of the corded Bauer 1/2" impacts, it's pretty stout. If it doesn't do the needful, I'll fish around for a 3/4"
>>
>>2967954
Invest in some antisieze while you're at it. Even on a bush hog your bolts shouldn't be that hard to get off.
>>
>>2967909
but... but sandpaper does have sand in it. you can even get sanding cloth made of silica wool. some sanding discs have fiberglass backings. wtf
>>
>>2968044
Cheap horrible sandpaper could have sand still. Anything decent will at the very least have aluminum oxide grit.

breaker? hardly knew her...
>>
>>2968420
granules of metal oxide are often at least the right color and consistency, they are sand-adjacent

and sandpaper being so simple and disposable, why would you ever NOT get the cheap bulk horrible stuff. it's not load bearing
>>
>>2967886
that's a job for an impact gun dude. don't breaker bar what you can brrt first. the intense jiggle action of the impact does more than sheer torque of breaker bar. also, oil helps, even after just a quick break. anything helps.

You ever get sandpaper from dollar tree? It's real bad. Like barely even useable for 30 seconds before all the grit falls off bad. I prefer to spend a bit more for sandpaper. I still don't shill for 3m cubitron stuff or anything insanely expensive like that though.

is it not supposed to do that because ive had that experience with actual tools bought from actual stores, i thought sandpaper is basically ablative by nature
>>
not really a "tool" but maybe 1 in 10 tubes of rubber cement i ever buy actually work. doesnt matter what brand. it's basically random and the odds are against me. tempted to start patching tires/tubes with fucking flex tape at this point
>>
>>2968651
>is it not supposed to do that

Not to that extreme. Get good quality sand paper with a quality matrix and adhesive (anything wet/dry rated is a good start) and your sanding will begin to suck a lot less.
>>
>>2968940
I don't buy tubes of it, but rather cans with the screw top and applicator brush. I had one can of slime brand rubber cement I bought that was bad as in it still looked good and acted right but the patches wouldn't stick properly. It took a bit to make the connection between it being the glue that was the problem and pissed me off to the extreme before figuring it out. Never again.

>yeah sure it costs 4x as much and breaks just as often, but at least there's no store that you can run down to in 5 minutes and get a free replacement.

put some heat in it

If you're lucky.
