Well, I've snapped dozens of them, just using a ring spanner, and as anyone who knows me will attest - I have the arms of Monty Burns (not Neil Monty). Sure, I've also snapped old carrots even easier sometimes. I just think a new bolt should be stronger than that!
Over torqued / talked?? Glued in they are probably okay in shear, but I wouldn't go out of my way to put them in!
As for any bolt breaking if over-torqued - I'd like to see anyone break a 10mm rated stainless machine bolt torquing it with a ring spanner!!! Not going to happen.
Except for Wolfy - Wolfy could do it.
