And you had no problems using a tool of questionable quality and minimal leverage to install your rotors? I'm happy that worked out for you. The only thing I've used that tool for (which came with my BB7s) is to adjust the inner pad. I trust an included Torx wrench about as much as I trust those stamped steel wrenches that get included with unassembled furniture.
You know it is also possible that they wanted to include a torque wrench (every disc brake set I've bought had a specific torque recommendation after all) but realized it would add too much to the cost and/or that any decent mechanic already owns a torque wrench?
