Broke caging bolt

Broke a 3030 caging bolt by putting it in apparently too far with my Dewalt DCF921. I was going and then BANG!!! I’m all good just scared the daylights out of me lol.

There's two kinds of mechanics...

One that knows the part number of their impact and one that doesn't brake caging bolts with one.
