Yeah I had been told that before, so I don't use powertools with SS hardware. Just hand tools, and no anti seize when I use lock nuts. I'll always use anti seize when I have a steel fastener going into aluminum or any different metal though, since it helps to slow down bimetallic corrosion (water pump and thermostat housings for example).

'Nother update while I'm at it; here's a couple pics of the kill switch I mounted up in my (unused) 4WD switch bezel. With the switch down and the guard closed, power is going to the IGN lead on the DC Control box which allows the fan to run. With the guard open and the switch up, the fan is killed completely.
I cut a small piece of aluminum, drilled it for the switch and JB-Welded it to the bezel. The switch is a perfect fit through the opening of the bezel, and you can see where I drilled a few holes in the back to let the JB-Weld squeeze through, which I then spread around just to make it a bit more solid. I couldn't laser etch over the painted surface of the aluminum, so I had to just make labels with the Ptouch. Looks kinda sloppy to me, but it gets the job done.
