Switched from impact guns to hand ratchets for engine rebuilds and wow what a difference
I used to blast every bolt off with a 1/2 inch impact during tear downs, thinking speed was king. After I snapped a head bolt on a 6.7 Cummins last Tuesday in our shop near Nashville, I slowed way down and started using a torque wrench by hand. Has anyone else switched up their tool approach after a costly mistake like that?

Nah, snapping a bolt once ain't the end of the world.
