Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size hex key, leading to cam-out and potential damage to the screw head.Always use a correctly sized hex key or socket that fits snugly into the screw head recess.
Over-tightening the screw, which can strip the threads or compromise the structural integrity of the joined components.Tighten the screw to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification for the application, or use a torque wrench to ensure accuracy.

Common Applications

  • Structural assembly in corrosive environments
  • Machinery and equipment manufacturing
  • Marine hardware and fittings
