Which is all very well, but has anyone ever seen a torque-wrench
fitting that can operate a collet nut?

Even the (rarer) ones with a hex are tricky, I can find ring and open
spanner ends for spigot-style torque wrenches up to 46mm

But that is probably only big enough for an ER25.

I guess you could always make your own.
