👉 Guy engineering, also known as "guy-wrenching," is a term that describes the practice of using unconventional, often crude, and sometimes even dangerous methods to repair or modify mechanical systems. This approach typically involves improvising with readily available tools and parts, bypassing standard procedures or specifications, and leveraging the engineer's hands-on expertise to get things working. While it can be effective in emergency situations or for DIY enthusiasts, it carries significant risks due to the potential for causing further damage, safety hazards, or even catastrophic failure. In professional settings, it's generally discouraged unless absolutely necessary and with a clear understanding of the risks involved.
