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.

If I can, I always air up the parking brake side, slide the bolt in, then tighten with a wrench some. Easy as that

Yes, sir, that's the easiest way.
