Factory UTV Self Tapping Bolts

Has anyone had issues with the self tapping screws that come with the skid plate kits breaking off while you screw them in? I’m using my electric impact and turned the power down after breaking the first one. I turned the power setting down to 1 and it wouldn’t even turn them to thread them in, then on 2 it would eventually snap them.

I swear these things are made of swiss cheese. I had three of them break off in the front diff plate. They are a lot of fun to drill out after they snap. The correct hole size is also definitely not 3/16". One size up from that worked much better.

I’ve spent more time on the POS hardware they included with this high dollar skid than it should have taken to do the entire job. One size up from that worked much better.

For the money this skid costs I expect higher quality products. I’d expect this had I bought a cheap skid.
