The top part of your post is indeed an ad.
The video has some strange ways of testing and, even if the bolt has been sacrificed for the explanation, it hurts me to see it clamped by its threads in a vice.
I do not use either the break off at torque or the machining routine.
I don't see the strength spec of the colored bolts, but they are 12 times the cost of regular Grade 8's.
I really don't want the grade 8's holding my wheels on, my third member secure or my cylinder head tight with whatever those are with a hole drilled down the middle to install the stretchy part.
The cost of my torque wrenches are probably currently in the ranges of less than a penny per use.
I can't say there might not be a good place for them, but I don't have one.
So there, now we are equally grouchy.
