    How would that work with a garlic press and not still hurt my hand, because I don't think I can squeeze hard enough? Perhaps if I used a pair of vice grips....

    Exactly! On a somewhat related note, my neighbor used a snatch chain to yank come large bushes, yesterday. The truck tires spun before it worked.

    I stay far away from such chains or straps under tension, that chain lets go? It can kill you!

    Absolutely. That's why farming is such a dangerous endeavor. Farmers use those techniques to remove tree roots and large rocks all the time. Not a spectator sport.

    Hook that chain on the front and pull backwards, or run in under the back and hook to the front, just don't hook right on back, unless you like tractor wheelies!

    A truck is more forgiving! But snatching by brute force is fun!
