Used to fight with starter bolts for an hour, now I just use a wobble socket every time

Back in 2019 I spent 45 minutes under a Freightliner trying to get a 13mm starter bolt with a regular ratchet. Finally grabbed a set of wobble sockets at Napa for $25 and that first job after took maybe 5 minutes. Anybody else switch to wobble sockets and wonder why you didnt sooner?

Holy cow, 45 minutes for a starter bolt? That's brutal! I would have lost my mind under there way before that. I get it though, those things are always in the worst spot and it's like they're engineered to be impossible. Once you get a wobble socket in your hand it's like a whole new world opens up, you just wonder why you put up with the struggle for so long. I remember the first time I used one, it was almost a religious experience for me, honestly.
