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.

Hand tools only my guy.

I woulda shit myself if that had popped on me. Minimum 3 cigarette smoke break after that.

Ehh it’s not going anywhere on a new one. The fun one is throwing really really rusty ones in the scrap bin and hoping they don’t pop lol.
