Question

post - test
all of the following can result from excessive impact wrench torque except:
a. bolt head edges can become rounded.
b. the bolt head can be snapped off.
c. bolt threads can become stripped.
d. the socket can become twisted.

Explanation:

When using an impact wrench, excessive torque can cause damage to the bolt (such as rounding bolt head edges, snapping off the bolt head, or stripping bolt threads). However, a socket is a tool that is designed to fit over the bolt head. Excessive torque from the impact wrench would act on the bolt, not directly cause the socket to become twisted. The socket is more likely to be damaged if it is not the correct size or if there is improper use in other ways (like using a worn - out socket), but not directly from excessive torque on the bolt in the context of normal use.

Answer:

D. The socket can become twisted.
