LOL...I did that to a chinese ratchet trying to get the bolts out of the wheel bearing in a mercury mountineer, cept the ratchet bent into a 90 and the guts fell out....

(I intentionally did not abuse my nice Sk, I knew I was doing evil things.
Some numbnut automotive engineer thought it would be a good idea to put the mounting bolts inside behind the CV boot wheere you can't get a wrench on them, and then torque them to a bazillion foot pounds, and add some thread locker to guarantee that the entire wheel would shear off before the bearing fell out)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
