A correctly tightened compression fitting should have the ring compressed
so that it can't be removed from the pipe easily. And you'd have to use a
deal of force to overtighten one. So not easily done with the correct
spanners. You'd have to be using extra long types.

Indeed. So far I have yet to over-tighten one, though no doubt that
day will come. I don't hold the end of spanners and then swing on
them as some people do.
