Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a screw of incorrect length, leading to insufficient thread engagement or interference.Always verify the required screw length for the specific joint thickness and ensure it provides at least 1.5 to 2 full thread engagements.
Over-tightening the screw, which can strip threads or cause material deformation.Utilize a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended torque value for the screw size and material.
