[QUOTE="Savant, post: 149680, member: 546108"] Yeah, it's all about tork on the tightening (and the pilot hole size.. too big means easier stripping, but too small means breaking the wood in some cases).. The older drill might not have the tork to strip.. Not sure what you mean by "both sides".. each hole is it's own thing, but the hole is ONE thing (top to bottom..).. you can strip any one hole and it won't affect any other hole.. Now, if he stripped 2 screws next to eachother on the perimeter, that spot might flex and vibrate at certian freqs.. only one stripped isn't normally a big issue (not seeing an issue for me on the one stripped hole on my 10..).. You can tell if they are stripped pretty easily.. put a screwdriver on the screw and try to tighten it.. don't give it too much twist or you 'could' strip a good one, but if the one you are on twists pretty easily and keeps spinning as you turn, it's stripped.. if you have more than 1, you might want to spin the sub and try to re-drill all the holes and secure it again, but be more gentle on the screws [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
