Tightening a screw too much weakens it.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Tightening a screw too much weakens it?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially touch the claim: one notes inadequate preload causes screw loosening and fracture, and two vintage hints advise against fully tightening shackle nuts or battery clamps. None directly tests whether over-tightening a screw weakens it.
