That's not true.
The tools someone has has nothing to do with difficulty.
Is it easier or harder to tighten a bolt without a wrench?
It's neither, it's impossible
You could use pliers, you could very carefully hit the corners of the head in a clockwise direction with a hammer, you could spend a lot of time training the strength in your hand and arm to tighten it by hand, you could use a dremel, saw, or file to cut a slot into it and tighten it with a screwdriver
But it's a lot easier to use a wrench.
NUH UH IT'S IMPOSSIBLE

That's not repairing it, that's just breaking it further.
Gonna need some elaboration on that last point. You're saying having appropriate tools for the job and the difficulty of the job have no relationship? Are you against right to repair? It seems implicit in your comments.
Typically not having the right tools makes it impossible, not hard.
How the hell do you reach that conclusion? Where's the logic there?
No way you aren't ragebaiting
This is based on what?
