Old timer told me to stop using a speed handle on panel screws
I had a lead mechanic pull me aside last month after watching me zip out access panel screws with a speed handle. He said I was stretching the threads on the nutplates and it would cause issues down the line. Switched to a standard ratchet with light torque and I've noticed the screws come out way smoother now. Has anyone else had a senior guy change how they do a basic task?

Did a similar thing happen when someone told you to stop using impact drivers on machine screws?

Did you strip out a few before realizing that, @blairsanchez?
