How much torque is too much torque?
A common question we get is how often should studs last? Perhaps a better answer is the actual inspection of the stud itself. Although a stud may appear "fine", closer inspection may show otherwise.
Below is a picture of a new stud and a yielded stud with a thread pitch gauge, showing that a stud has clearly been over stretched beyond its yield point. It would be a matter of time before this yielded stud would break while being used.
If you're not certain of the condition of your studs, better safe than sorry and replace them with new ones.
