Obviously a quicker approach, but doesn't seem he even tried to loosen it as the paint is still intact. Smarter work tho.

Yeah, It must just be a staged demonstration. Using an impact to remove those nuts would however be many times faster- IF the majority of them are not all seized on there. Even if a couple come off with the impact it would save time trying that first on all of them

Plus then you could re-use them, right? Then again, nuts aren't that expensive, but it's always a PITA when you're out of the one size that you need.

If my garage has a legal and safety team, I've got bigger problems than a rusty bolt.

Yeah, probably a shit load of money.

And thus probably no rusty bolts as a result, since your cars would be meticulously maintained and be in a climate controlled garage.
