Agreed completely. With those tools it looks super easy and then you go to do it, it takes all day!
A few of ChrisFix videos he's said something like "if your car is as rusted as this one is, you're going to need to spray it with whatever a few hours in advance to help unseize the bolt, I've already done that, so ...." And you just don't get tips like that from someone that's going to just air hammer away the problem ... Best case if they even show the problem at all, their initial go to is to hit it with the torch, which is never my initial go-to! Start easy and escalate up!
I do have a battery impact wrench, so that helps some, but, seeing it done completely by hand definitely helps give the actual scope of the project and mine doesn't fit everywhere and hand tools are usually needed anyways.
