Hand Tightened Screw


Recommended Posts

On something like a 1/4"-20 screw, you can generate of order an inch-pound of torque (converts to about 0.12 Nm, I think). Pascal is the wrong unit for expressing a torque.

All is steel. The screw is steel' date=' and also its bolt.

Tighten it until it is snug, then a half-turn more. Tightening it further than that weakens the threads.
