I did it!!

I had the infamous screw driver slip and poked a hole through one of my brand new Assassin 8's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif :crying: I've seen so many counts of this on the forum, but never did it myself. Pisses me off pretty badly. But I guess it's ok as long as it doesnt affect performance. Which it doesnt seem to. it could have been worse...It could have happened to an expensive driver. (if I had one)

end of rant. . .

i dont see how people put that much pressure on screws. if you pre-drill your holes then use a screwgun there is no reason you should slip like that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

real men place their hand in a place that would let it take the blunt of the slip instead of the driver (my hands have so many gashes in them)

Real men just don't slip in the first place

I was screwing manually. I wasnt applying THAT much pressure. And I even thought "****, dont slip and put a hole through the new subs" and about that time, BAM.

I started doing that after the fact. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

And then, I walk out getting ready to leave, and I have a ****ing flat tire. The same **** side I just had a blow out on YESTERDAY. I **** at life.

word.

i mean i slipped before while manually screwing my screws but about the time i realize i slipped i have no pressure on the screwdriver so therefore no hole.

pre-drill and invest in a powered screwgun. got mine for $20, craftsman too. i slip no more. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you barbaric bastages.

i did the same thing to my mtx.. good thing it was shitty sub.. But now i always cup my hand over while im screwing it in so this never happens again

Theres nothing much more to do with the mtx, so be expecting a "Death of an MTX ROAD THUNDER" thread

That sucks man. I've done it once in about 50 - 60 mounting/dismounting installs etc.

smart people use the screw guide that covers the screw so stuff like that does not happen.

Square drive screws. No slipping. Speaker is happy.

Yeah Robertson screws (square head) are a life saver, it should be illegal to use anything else.
