    i've just seen people do the hulk turn of a screw driver and brake so much stuff so i figure if i tell u dont over tighten it u'll be more careful about it. i havent broken one and i dont know of ne one who has i'd just hate for someone to brake something like and have to go spend money on what could have been a simple/free fix.
