I'm not aware of any "torque to yield" bolts in use on bicycles.


Sure you are. Only they're not bolts but socket drive adaptors stamped
"Made in China". If you're driving a 1/4in drive socket, use two of these
adapters, 1/43/8 and 3/81/4 and the cheap metal of the drive adaptor
will twist off in your expensive Snap-On socket long before the bolt is
over-torqued.


Getting the job done with whatever tools I have often involves not treating
them well.

Cheap tools aren't always *THAT* much a false economy..................
