Extra "clicks" on a torque set will not cause an exceedance of the recommended torque nor does it double, triple or quadruple the torque as some misguided mechanic tried to claim
Items that need to be retorqued - such as aluminum cable terminations, are done by loosening and using your torque wrench to the first click. The reason Al terminations are checked is to deal with cold flow, which should not happen if the torque was correct the first time.That is incorrect. Unless the material being clamped by the fastener continues to deform over time, the fastener torque should be relatively static. I have set torque on many, many fasteners over the years, and rechecked either immediately or after a period of time. Unless something is amiss, the torque wrench should "break" or click and fastener should NOT move. If what you are claiming is true, then all the assemblies in service that require periodic torqueing would fail over time due to fastener failure. It just ain't so.
