Back in the olden days when I lived at home, I was using my dad's old Sears pull handle to loosen the lug nuts on my 60 VW bug that some idiot had used a impact wrench to put on many years before, and they were rusted in place as well. I was literally jumping up and down on a piece of pipe slipped over the wrench with a buddy helping in closer on the wrench. For some reason the wrench broke. I took it to sears and they just told me to go get the replacement, and I swapped the wrench in seconds. No paperwork, no problem. I went back at tried it again, and broke the new wrench as well. I was 16 and only thought I was smart. Anyway, I went to a different Sears, and got yet another one. This time I gave up and went to a local gas station & service station. He used his biggest impact wrench and finally got it to come off.

Also back in the "good ol days" Little Giant Pump was based in Oklahoma City, just a mile from my house. They sold pumps of course, but also outdoor decorative lighting. I bought a house that had the remains of some fixtures that the sun and weed eaters had destroyed. I went into Little Giant's manufacturing plant customer service department and they looked at the old and broken stuff, walked to the back and handed me an all new box of the same lights. No receipt, no paperwork. Unfortunately Little Giant was sold a bigger company, and soon all production was stopped in OKC, and moved overseas and the quality was crap, and the warranty stopped.
