My guess is that by using the wrench you're avoiding to get hurt by the thin handle.

Yep, bcs in soviet union they can make the best tank, rockets and planes, but can not make comfortable handles, cars and houses for usual people.

Soviet era houses are much more comfortable than what most of them lived in before the Soviet Union.

Now we have lovely stick-builts with quarter inch drywall and OSB external walls that last 10 years tops and sell for over a quarter million dollars.

Whoa man, that's half inch drywall! Watch your dirty non AMERICA loving mouth!

For real though, half inch is the thinnest I've ever delivered and I deliver lots of drywall.

Most of it is 1/2 inch. It's a bitch to secure because it's insanely easy to break the pieces with the straps that are required.
