I been doing my revo's at 60 Nm and had no problems and my torque wrench was about £20 so not super accurate i been told either.
As you wind up bottom to set torque i was told best thing to do is un-wind it right to lowest setting before putting away so the tension is not held in spring for ages or something!!
