Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using an undersized wrench, leading to stripping the hex head.Always use a wrench that precisely fits the 13mm head width of the cap screw.
Applying excessive torque, potentially deforming the screw or the mating material.Consult engineering drawings or specifications for the correct torque value and utilize a calibrated torque wrench.
Cross-threading the screw, damaging both the screw and the tapped hole.Start threading the screw by hand to confirm alignment before applying any tool torque.

Common Applications

  • Heavy machinery assembly
  • Structural steel connections
  • Automotive manufacturing
