No. Just no. Either you had a defective bolt, or you overtorqued them. The fact that you made such a ridiculous statement like that means no one should trust you on anything you say. You should never "go easy on them." That is a recipe for disaster. You SHOULD tighten them to their specified torque settings. Do us all a favour and leave wrenching to those that know what they are doing.One really important note (off the subject of the Metric System )...
When you tighten up the bolts, go easy on them. Even just a bit too much torque and the bolt head will twist right off. Trust me on this.
I just finger tighten them and maybe a 1/2 turn after that.
