[sic] = word intentionally spelled wrong. Used by newspapers, for example, when quoting verbatim. I find it is used alot and I can't help but feel that it is typically a slight by the journalist to boulster the ego.....like Operator.

BTW, I bought this torque wrench this week. It looks like a rebranding of yours.

The handle is shaped a bit differently, but it's the same torque range, and the calibrations on the knob look the same.

The Park TW-5 also looks suspiciously similar to these wrenches.

Ok so, if the seat post binder collar is plastic, then couldn't the same mechanics be at work here also? Causing over-tension?

IIRC Snap On tool dealers have a torque wrench testing rig on their trucks or at least used to. If you can contact one he can probably check a torque wrench for a nominal fee.
Click type torque wrenches can easily go out of calibration, sometimes drastically. My brother had a Craftsman one do so years ago so he switched to using beam type torque wrenches. Beam type ones of decent quality are a lot more rugged as are good dial types.

It's not plastic.
Am I the only one reading this?

Jeez, this is better than some of the chain lube threads.
Almost as snarky as what you see in that other place
