Impact can mess up the ratcheting mechanism in the wrench. But it's OK. Just smack the wrench from a few different angles and it will loosen up and turn again.

If it has a ratcheting mechanism it's not a wrench, it's some kind of ratchet.

Never use the ratchet drive as a hammer. Unless you like buying new ratchet drives.

Better to buy a hammer. They're cheaper than ratchet drives.

and rocks are cheaper than hammers... Sometimes you have to go to war with the ratchet you have instead of the ratchet you wish you had.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything begins to resemble a nail.

Didn't someone here say something about not shoving things up your ass unless they have a part that is too wide to go in?
