What should I do if a fastener is very tight?

Troubleshooting
Breaker bar flexes excessively or feels unstable during use.
Ensure the correct socket size is used and that it's properly seated on the fastener. Avoid applying excessive force and consider using a torque wrench to prevent over-tightening or damage.

This is normal for a flexi-head design, however, ensure that the joint is not damaged. Avoid excessive force that could further damage the tool.
Fastener is not loosening despite applying force.
Ensure the socket is properly seated, apply penetrating oil, and let it sit for a while before attempting again. If the fastener is severely rusted, consider using heat.
