I hope you didn't damage the threads by exerting force that way.

Funny story about my breaker bar. I went to Home Depot and got a pipe about three feet long. I chose one that had damaged threads, since no one else could use it, and it sure didn't matter to me. The cashier asked me what size it was, since the tag had fallen off. I said I didn't know. She asked if I didn't know, how do I know it's right for me? I explained to her what I was going to do with it. Later, I regretted not telling her I was going to use it as a weapon. Hmm, maybe it's better I didn't.
