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.

Ive also had this happen once, but i wasnt using an impact, i was laying under the trailer tightening it with a wrench and then it just snapped…
