Swapped from a regular breaker bar to a long-handle ratchet for stubborn lugs
Everyone at my shop said to just use a big breaker bar with a pipe on it. I tried that for years, but last month I bought a 24-inch long-handle flex-head ratchet. The extra length gave me the same force, but the ratchet head let me work in tight spots without moving the socket each time. I did a full set of tires on a truck in half the time. Why do we stick with the old way when a simple tool change helps so much?

Exactly. You see this with everything, not just tools. People get a method that works okay and just stop looking. My dad still uses a manual can opener when the electric one is right there in the drawer. It's like once the struggle becomes normal, you forget there might be an easier way.
