Yep, agreed, not advocating using a compromised one but more of an exercise and preamble to more destructive methods for practice.
I always get a bit leery when folks start talking about pipe wrenches, hammers, vise grips, etc.
These things are last resorts that I almost never have to use and encourage others to exhaust all other possibilities before going there even when the damage is already done as has happened here.
