Your are 100% correct in stating that regulators can be damaged by using too much force on certain fittings. Example: Scubapro had a problem with its technicians over-tightening turrent bolts and yoke retaining bolts. Scubapro had to re-design components that were not inherently defective simply because their "technicians" could not be trusted to use a torque wrench during annual services.... members of this board have described catastrophic failures immediately after service due to improper assembly technique by the dive shop repair tech .
there was an advert in a dive magazine for a tool kit which had 2 adjustable spanners - 1 metric & 1 imperial! i showed this to our local dive shop guy & he tried to tell me there was a difference it was all to do with the angle (30 degrees is different in metric to imperial?????)
i have never taken anything to be serviced by him since!!!!
