Men are the worst sometimes. (/s)
I had this bolt I was trying to take out of an exercise bike, and it was the very last bolt/screw I had to take out of the entire thing in order to take the bike apart. I had already done all of the others. But it kept turning with the nut as I was trying to unscrew it. The other side was flat and smooth and there was no way to get anything under it in order to get it to stop turning and no amount of pressure would stop it from turning. I spent at least an hour trying to unscrew it and I had about 7 different tools laying next to me and @Elaida wanders in all nonchalant during a commercial break during his game and 3 minutes later he's taken it out.
I wasn't watching him do it but I have reason to believe he brute strengthed it and didn't come up with some genius plan I hadn't thought of.- Show previous comments 3 more

@JJ Husker Yes but brute strength is cheating. And good idea, I'll have to use that.
@Redux don't think we have any. He didn't use anything I didn't already have on the floor. The thing is the end I was trying to stop from turning is only maybe 3mm thick (and round - how is this not in out of context topic yet?) so it was super hard to get a handle on.

@huKSer tried it - and I have a very thin flathead. I couldn't get anything to fit underneath.
