Extreme overkill or what?

Why bother? unless you stripped the threads etc...

I run into this thinking a lot.... for example a bolt will hold 5000 lbs, and a guy thinks well a 10,000 lbs bolt is better right? When you only need to hold 1000 lbs?

Also why make work for yourself if you don't have to?
