The one I linked to wasn't plastic but a torque wrench designed at 20in/lb (I thought that would have been obvious from the description and picture)

The spanner gives a constant torque until it's jaws open.. well that should be the theory.. but anyone who's ever tried to use a cheap spanner on a stubborn nut knows that it depends on the speed you turn the spanner... too fast and the spanner just spreads it's jaws and doesn't tighten at all.. where as slow allows the plug to be tightened properly and to a greater torque than is finger tight..
Perhaps the telephone jockeys need training in how to use a plastic spanner
