I am learning about them. They do have some advantages (as well as disadvantages) over the more traditional 5C and R8 collets I use now. The biggest advantage is the larger range of holding size for a given collet. I don't have a real need or want for the ER collets right now, but that might change...
Luckily I'm not having problems with the ER nut loosening up on me lately but your method sounds easy enough to follow if I needed to.
As you guessed, I don't think I would ever buy a dedicated torque wrench myself either .
Great post BTW.
