But with a nice long handle you don't have to pound them, just pull
and/or jump on the handle.  The nice thing about them is there's no
offset like you get with a socket.  The handle I put one, btw, was
about five feet of half-inch plate four or five inches wide.  I did
have to heat it and bend a small offset into it to clear the bodywork.
