FUUUUUUU

Trying to rescue some threads that were completely hoop-a-jooped thanks to coworkers that made these lights mobile despite me insisting they aren’t mobile. The bolts

If it’s not going in, just crank really REALLY hard until it breaks. Got one of the lights repaired. I didn’t actually think the replacement bolts I bought were the same as these given that the new bolts wouldn’t thread in at all. Nope, M5.08 just like the ones that wrecked up the place. On the second go I had some bad luck. Way to build a guitar SEARS.

Weird. Did you go half a turn in, 1/4 turn out? Harbor Freight Tap?

Yes and yes.

I believe we can conclude this root cause analysis.

Sad yes. But my extractor kit is name brand so... At least that's something

Your tap suffered a brittle fracture with no plastic deformation noted during crack propagation . This type of cleavage failure can be associated with much lower imparted force than a ductile failure. If this failure occurred during applied force that was within tolerance , it can be assumed that the material was not properly heat treated. A charpy test could be used to confirm this assumption.

when I go look for replacement flat-pack bolts, why do I discover theyre some thread that’s never been made before or sense? Coarse? Fine? nope. I need to look for an M6. WTF thread.
