Re: Remember to use washers and not over tighten

To the Riv-Nut Proponents:

We've used these in some locations in the past, only to have them strip their holes and start spinning on us. This was (I believe) in some 1"x1"x1/16" aluminum tube. I'd love to use them more/again but I was somewhat put off by them causing us to miss a match when we couldn't remove a bumper. Do you have any suggestions as to what we did wrong?
