Error Source #5: No bolt tightening without the correct force application point ✋🔧
One risk that should not be underestimated when tightening a bolt to torque is the grip position. You've preset the right tightening torque on the torque wrench, but the bolt isn't tight enough or has been overtightened? This could be due to an operating error. Because what a lot of people don't realise is that if your hand doesn't hold the tool handle in the right place, this skews the measurement of torque applied to the bolt.
