Here's a tip I use frequently because it stinks to have torn up hands.
If something is tight enough that I feel when it comes loose I might bang my knuckles on something I use wrenches interlocked like this.
Believe me, it will save some skin by giving you much more and controllable leverage.
These are arranged the way you would to tighten, but works either way.

Use that technique a lot, however, got to hold them straight, because they can slip also giving you more ...... busted knuckles
 
Also on our older vehicles with rusty headed bolts, found it is better to use 6 point instead of 12 point box end wrench's, other wise busted knuckles.
 
I now know who has Chinese wrenches, and who doesn't. It'll bust the box on that cheap stuff.
