It being plastic means it will deform and slip off before you can apply any massively damaging torque, even if it is in a metal BB spanner (try taking off a particularly seize BB with one of those plastic adaptors). Not that it will allow to set a specific torque. Same as when the preload crank cap tool is made of plastic too.
