Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect torque, leading to over-tightening or under-tightening.Consult a torque chart specific to the fastener size, material, and mating components to apply the correct clamping force.
Cross-threading the screw into the mating component.Start threading by hand to verify alignment before applying any tools. If resistance is met immediately, back out and re-align.
