You not breaking stuff is a good advert. I can see in theory Thomson stuff is weaker than a similar cast part, however I just don't think it's an issue for collars. I did enjoy when they got so sick of people snapping the faceplates on the stems by over tightening they moved over to smaller bolts, only for people to moan when they'd rounded out said smaller bolts after over torqueing them
