    The more difficult it is to repair something, the less possible it becomes to repair it.

    That’s not true.

    what an average person can do with tools they can easily pick up at any hardware

    The tools someone has has nothing to do with difficulty.

          You could use pliers, you could very carefully hit the corners of the head in a clockwise direction with a hammer, you could spend a lot of time training the strength in your hand and arm to tighten it by hand, you could use a dremel, saw, or file to cut a slot into it and tighten it with a screwdriver

          But it’s a lot easier to use a wrench.

              You know, I’m pretty certain at this point you’re trolling, but I’m curious to hear how you justify this

              If the reason something is broken is a loose or missing bolt, how does tightening that bolt with pliers instead of a wrench equate to breaking it further?

                You don’t get to accuse me of trolling and then continue asking questions.

                  Then I will continue to assume you’re a troll since you refuse to prove me wrong.

                    And I can assume by your unwarranted accusation that you never had any interest in a good faith discussion.

      Gonna need some elaboration on that last point. You’re saying having appropriate tools for the job and the difficulty of the job have no relationship? Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.

        Typically not having the right tools makes it impossible, not hard.

        Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.

        How the hell do you reach that conclusion? Where’s the logic there?
