A safe max torque on a geiselle reaction rod should be around #60, as deformation to index pin slot starts to occur reliably past #80.
The issue tends to be with timing barrel nuts and exceeding the torque to nudge it that last mm.
Also, slop in the index channel to begin with makes it more likely.
FWIW, I still use the reaction rod but only using midwest industries rails and the like with mild torque values and non timed barrel nuts.
MichiGuns LTd makes a cool tool for muzzle devices which is ideal vs any reaction rod type product.
