I like your same idea securely fixing the wrench in position leaving both hands free for leverage. Same concept as randyjawa's
Tx, yep 65, been wrenching on my own since about 12, used to have a pic of me at 2 or 3 in the garage when my Dad was swapping in a SBC in a Willy's window panel.

His Dad built plywood mills when they first came online all over the PNW.

He was a pretty good wrench and lucky for me I got the DNA and watched a lot so been pretty good at it.

Randy is a guru at this and he makes it happen, my trapped method leaves nothing to chance and can be accomplished multiple ways.

I also have 4ft. cheater pipe that slips over the whole wrench and never fails or damages any tools, parts, frames, paint or flesh, period.
