Took me way too long to realize I was over-tightening cabinet hinges

I kept stripping screws on my kitchen cabinets every few months until a buddy pointed out the hinges just need to be snug, not cranked down. Anyone else deal with that or is it just my heavy-handed self?

Snapped a screw clean off" is a bit dramatic, don't you think?

Did your buddy mention how tight is too tight? My friend snapped a screw clean off once.
