Of course, it turns out that God was able to lay down a nice bead without any practice too...Unlike the ape in this picture.

With that out of the way, Archimedes was right. When your longest breaker bar just isn't enough, you just need a longer lever! In this case, also known as a cheater bar. All you need is a long sturdy section of tube/pipe and your much shorter nut loosening device.
Slip tube A over breaker bar B, add copious amounts of PB Blaster, and you've got yourself a good old fashioned device ideally suited for breaking sockets and rounding off nuts. Occasionally it will even loosen the nuts with the socket intact. One thing to watch out for is bolts that make a lot of noise when being loosened, can have that sound amplified to even more piercing levels by the tube.

Story time:
A long time ago, in magical place named Detroit, there was an engineer working at Ford. He said "I shall cast my rear lower control arms from Iron. This will save cost and allow me to place the bolts attaching the spindle in double shear. Furthermore it shall allow easy access to these bolts so that the rear suspension will be easy to disassemble." and there was much rejoicing.
Then the evil engineer from Lincoln looked at the design and said "To make mine superior I shall cast my rear lower control arm from aluminum. Even though this is a very large and heavy car, this will make it seem as if we care about reducing weight. However I shall place these bolts in single shear in such a way that in order to remove the axle, you must first remove the upright...But in order to remove the upright, you must first remove the axle." and the rejoicing was replaced by the curses and obscenities of any who dared try to remove the axles on their Mk. VIII.
Later, the Lincoln engineer received a swift kick in the plums...And there was much rejoicing.
