Old timer told me to stop using my impact driver on coax fittings

Back in 2019, a guy named Jerry who'd been installing since the 80s watched me zip a compression fitting on with my impact. He said I'd be back to fix that drop in under 6 months. I laughed it off. Three months later I was on that same apartment complex swapping out 22 fittings that had all loosened up. Jerry was dead right. Anybody else still see new guys cranking down connectors with power tools?

Guilty as charged, had to learn that lesson the expensive way too.

Lost six months of my life to loose fittings. Hand tighten only now.
