Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size wrench, leading to cam-out and damaged bolt head.Always use the correct size hex socket or wrench that fits snugly on the bolt head.
Over-tightening, which can strip threads or weaken the fastener.Adhere to recommended torque specifications and avoid excessive force.
Cross-threading the screw into the mating component.Start threading by hand to ensure smooth engagement before applying any tools.

Common Applications
