Failure Threat Matrix[1]
| Failure Mode | Likelihood | Est. Onset | Mitigation Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Worm gear binding or stripping | Low | Random | Keep the adjustment threads clean and lubricated. Do not use the wrench as a hammer. |
| Surface rust | Medium (if neglected in humid environments) | Random | Wipe down with a lightly oiled rag after use in wet conditions. Reversible with a wire brush and oil. |
