"You can heave and strain on da wrench till Doomsday and never get a stubborn bolt loosened, but then just as soon as you ask a stronger --- and probably very busy himself --- person to come and help, DAT'S when da blasted bolt actually WILL yield, either when you give a final demonstrative yank on da wrench to show da second person how supposedly stuck da bolt is, or when he himself hauls back on da wrench and said previously-cranky bolt unscrews with little effort on his part, indicating dat your OWN last tug actually HAD cracked it free after all, and so if you had 'just given it one more go' yourself, you actually COULD have gotten da bolt out on your own, without having to interrupt your now-ears-smokingly-annoyed-at-being-needlessly-called-away colleague in da first place."
I wonder if da inventor of da impact wrench had originally felt prompted to do so due to his having frequently encountered Murphy's Law of Bolt-Loosening???

Get the half-sister-in-law mug.Mother's Law; noun
The Mother version of Murphy's Law.
As originally defined in Mikayla's Dictionary published 2024;
When a mom's time and motivation align perfectly to complete tasks otherwise usually pushed aside for lack of time or motivation alignment, the Mother's children will then undoubtedly become extraordinarily clingy, perform dangerous acts and hurt themselves requiring comfort and consoling, fight with siblings (both verbally and physically) and cause various alternative chaotic acts within the home environment, therefore causing the tasks or projects to yet again go undone or possibly worsen.
