Well if you use soft stainless steel screws 😂 😂 😂Dang! I thought when it slipped a flat on the hex key was when it was to proper torque.
Common sense? What’s that?Every application is different, common sense should be applied, when selecting whether to use lube or not… as well as the conditions the fasteners must live in..
different conditions require different types of lubricants.
Dry torque does have its place, but to just blanket state that everything should be dry torqued is wrong.
IE: I would never dry torque a new set of rod bolts when building a BBC with steel rods..
But if I was bolting suspension hangers on an 18 wheeler chassis, chances are I wouldn’t use any lube..
Also whether the bolt is in shear or compression/tension comes into consideration as well..
Again, common sense applies..
To each his own…
