I would say to go with foot pounds of torque. I use a big vice and 24" long pipe wrench with a cheater bar and I still can not get the halves of a 1/2' clamp to touch together when installed on 7/16" cable. I suppose if you torqued them too far that you may actually crush and damage the cable strands.
It looks like they run $36.15 each from McMaster-Carr for the 1/2" model. These may not fit as tight on 7/16" cable as the older 1/2" models though, assuming someone were to try.
