| ❌ Mistake | ✅ Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Using incorrect torque, leading to over-tightening and thread stripping, or under-tightening and joint failure. | Always consult engineering drawings or a torque chart for the correct torque specification based on the application and materials being joined. |
| Cross-threading the screw due to misalignment or forcing the fastener into the receiver. | Start threading by hand to confirm proper engagement. If resistance is felt, back out and re-align before continuing to tighten. |
