IMO it depends on the situation at to whether an expert would proceed with a shifter, or source the correct tool (at the cost of some delay no doubt).

What the expert mechanic does recognise (and weigh) is the increased risk that a shifting spanner will irreparably damage the nut or bolt and especially so in a high torque environment. This is a tool time tip that transcends all areas of interest!

BTW I acknowledge your other post re flight but the jury is still to be selected viz the eventual writing of history on xDb suffice to say trains and ships still carry the tonnage even as the joust proceeds!
