Being an OCD person, I trust the clutch of the power driver more than myself. If I do it manually I'll probably wake up in the middle of the night checking if I have tightened it "for real", and most likely end up cracking the neck just like you said.
Exactly what I needed to know! I just had to loosen the (5) screws on the neckplate of my Sterling Cutlass. The neck was slightly misaligned, causing the high E to almost fall off the fretboard, and I was following an online demo to nudge the angle back a touch. It turned out to be a lot easier job than I feared, and is now perfect. I noticed the demonstrator did not use excessive force to retighten the neckplate screws, either.
This it the most important video on RUclips!
Thanks, I was worried I screwed up the neck screws, but this method has given me some piece of mind!

Every time I tighten a fastener, I hear my old auto shop teacher... "Don't go full gorilla. It doesn't hold the world together."
I do exactly. But without the electric drill I just use the screwdriver. I feel more control with the screwdriver not to slip off and scratch the body
Great video, Ronald Jr!
Nice info here man. Thank you!
Thanks.

Excellent video thankyou
I turn it until i can’t but not hard thats good?
So that's considerably less than hand tight?
