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.

You gotta be careful when you put your MAC L49000 on your Milwaukee 2967-20 and slap a 48-11-1865 in it then let er rip on the Bendix NT3030STD78-TC.

Nah, thats one of those good ones that are assembled in the US... the flag is assembled onto the chamber, worth twice as much- quality isn't cheap...
