LOLOL
I have been meaning to loosen and re-tighten my wheels after the dealer did a brake job recently. I rarely let anyone remove/install wheels and always check their work if they do. On our X5 they had to borrow our wheels before we bought it and replace with new ones, I have the strongest battery powered 1/2 gun and it wouldn't remove a few. I have broken 3/8 breaker bars before in the past. All my cars have 1/2 breaker bars now, which saved a coworker once as the tiny Mazda lug tool was too small to get her lugs off.
Its sad when a cheater pipe is necessary, thats hub cracking potential if they smashed them on that hard. Worst I have heard of is actually a few people that lost wheels while driving because the hub broke.
