Overtight
Overtight refers to the act of applying excessive force when fastening a component, such as a screw, bolt, or nut. This can lead to a variety of negative consequences depending on the materials involved and the specific application. In metal components, overtightening can strip threads, causing the fastener to lose its grip or become permanently stuck. It can also deform or crack the materials being joined, leading to structural weakness or failure.
In plastic components, overtightening is particularly problematic as plastics are generally less strong and more brittle
The appropriate torque, or rotational force, for a fastener is usually specified by the manufacturer. Using
