...that's cheating.
But only because I didn't know those things existed.
Fortunately I've only had to get that stupid bolt to thread in once in the last 30 years.
A testament to my skills as a mechanic.
HA!

If you're talking about being relieved after getting that stupid bolt to finally thread in, I think I went to the liquor store afterwards myself!

Many years ago when I first started learning how to wrench, I used to take my car to the old guy that ran a gas station and had an engine bay.
The index finger on his right hand had been severely injured by a radiator fan that had no fan shroud.
My truck didn't have one and I was going to fix that immediately!
Went to a salvage yard and got a shroud out of something but had to extend it over those razor sharp fan blades, so I got some of that plastic divider stuff from the garden shop and I feel a lot safer now.
You can modify just about any shroud to at least shield your fingers.
