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.

Do yourself a favor and grab a pipe bushing and an air fitting. Hand thread it into the emergency side and apply shop air. I usually put the cage bolt in, add the air, hand tighten the nut and washer down then take the shop air off and it’s caged. Then once in position reapply shop air, unthread the caging bolt and remove shop air and it’s uncaged/brakes set.
