Pulled a $900 part off the spindle wrong and snapped the pull stud in Tulsa
Changed a CAT40 holder under time pressure last Thursday, used an impact instead of checking the retention knob, and stripped it so bad the tool changer jammed for 2 hours, anyone else learn that lesson the expensive way?

Tulsa and a CAT40 on a Thursday afternoon, that combo was already cursed before the impact wrench came out. An impact on a pull stud is like using a sledgehammer on a light switch, sure it works until it doesn't. Two hours of a jammed tool changer probably felt like two days once the boss started walking by. Cheap lesson at 900 bucks honestly, could've been the whole spindle taper.
