Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening, leading to thread stripping or material fatigue.Always consult and adhere to the manufacturer's specified torque values for the application and materials being joined. Use a calibrated torque wrench.
Using the wrong tool size, damaging the hex head and making removal difficult.Utilize a properly sized hex socket or wrench that fits snugly to ensure maximum torque transfer and prevent cam-out.
Applying excessive force without proper lubrication, causing galling.Use a suitable thread lubricant or anti-seize compound, especially when joining dissimilar metals or in high-stress applications to prevent galling.

Common Applications
