Actually, I don't care.
The point of my replies to the OP are:
1) With carbon fiber components the ham-fisted "tight enough is good enough" of the past does not cut it.
B) Get proper torque wrenches and use them to mfg specs.
Any Questions?

What makes you think the Ritchey tool is any more accurate than the HF tool the OP suggested?
When you think you're applying 5nm with your Ritchey it could be anywhere from 4.5 to 5.5 and more likely from 4 to 6nm.
