That's just about tight enough.

The rule of thumb is to tighten it up until it strips and then back it off half a turn......

That is why mine always comes loose. I was taught to tighten until it snaps. Backing off 1/2 turn doesn't help.


Seriously though, before loosening a bolt or screw, give it a slight turn tighter then back off. Works for me every time.

It's a good plan. However, try it on a D2 front hub nut[bigsad]

No ta, I have never aspired to a D2 therefore I won't be trying that. Maybe a decent HD rattle gun might just do it.

Yep. My Milwaukee 18v 3/4 inch jobbie makes short work of it.
