The "DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN" warning on the clamp could be a blanket message regarding potential over-torqueing by ham-handed mechanics or could mean "by the time we discovered that the bolt/nut threads tend to strip in this particular clamp design, we'd manufactured too many to throw them all away, so we added a warning label that suggests it's your fault if it strips."
