Watching a new guy at the Phoenix hangar handle a stripped bolt completely changed my approach to stuck fasteners.

He grabbed a can of freeze spray from his box, hit the bolt head for a solid 10 seconds, and it came right out with a regular wrench, which convinced me to finally add that $30 can to my own kit for good.

That's just a lucky one-off.

Remember my buddy who said the same thing about his fantasy football pick last year. He called it a total fluke when some rookie scored three times. That same rookie kept doing it all season and won him the league. Sometimes what looks like luck is just the start of a pattern.

But what if the fluke was fueled by some new training or mindset shift nobody saw coming?
