| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using the wrong size wrench, leading to fastener damage or inadequate torque. | Always use a wrench or socket that precisely matches the head width of the cap screw to ensure proper engagement and prevent stripping. |
| Overtightening the fastener, which can lead to thread stripping or material fatigue. | Adhere to recommended torque values based on the screw size, material, and application requirements. Utilize a torque wrench for critical applications. |
