Learned a weird trick for stubborn bottom bracket cups

Had a Shimano BB that would NOT budge with my standard tool, tried heat and soaking for 2 days. Out of frustration I put a pipe wrench on the cup and it cracked loose in 10 seconds. Anyone else just say screw it and use non-standard tools when things get stuck?

Didn't you hear that old school plumber talking about pipe wrenches on the radio the other day, @phoenix_adams60?
