One of the handiest tools I have is a little drive impact tool. It will accept any 1/2" socket, and you put it on the nut or bolt, twist it with your hand, so there's not much torque on the subject, and hit the head with a hammer. It's like a small impact gun, but handheld and you can feel the nut or bolt coming loose as you strike it without breaking it off. I think the vertical impactforces the threads slightly into the bore to help break the friction of the threads as it very slowly backs the tension off of them. Once the nut or bolt is broken loose, a regular ratchet or wrench finishes the job. Seems to work most of the time, and is great for those stubborn jobs you don't want to mess up early on.
