Bikes: Some silver ones, a red one, a black and orange one, and a few titanium ones

Use a torque wrench. That will reduce the chance of pushing the arms on too far. You can also reduce the need to remove the crank arms by going to a cartridge bearing bottom bracket. The maintenance interval is greatly reduced.
