1988 Mini - The college days - Went from one building to another, stopped the engine but it kept running, starter motor got stuck and kept the engine running. Had to disconnect battery to stop it. 1990 Escort Van painted BT Yellow to blend in, hahahaha. By now I had tools and the hammer came in very handy at night as the starter motor use to get stuck and engine wouldn't turn over - well it did with a little twatin' from the hammer. I do like to 1/2" Snap-on Breaker Bar. Nothing better than a good breaker bar at times. For my line of work, I've got a top-trumping 3/4" Extending one, hell yeah, this is a bad boy. ezred.com/product/34-inch-drive-extendable-ratchet-2/
