Back when I was a wrench at a bicycle shop we had several big tools. We had the big piece of pipe, of course, to get added torque on a breaker bar. We also had the BFH (big f@cking hammer) a 2 1/2 pound sledge hammer and the BFW (big f@cking wrench), a huge adjustable crescent wrench.

And the ultimate tool we had at the shop was the "Blessed Wrench". One of the mechanics went to see the Pope and brought with him a BFW (see above). Well the Poop does a general blessing of everyone and everything at his audience, so my buddy had a special blessed spiritual wrench.

When there was something really stuck at the shop and all the mechanics were at their wits ends, my buddy would bring out the "Blessed Wrench" with much ceremony, hoping that divine intervention would work where mere mortals had failed. It never worked of course, but it did add some levity to the problem and it did help, I believe, because everyone took a deep breath, sat back and approached the problem from a different perspective and eventually figured it out.
