Oh did you not know.... the "hammering a screw driver on the locknut is not an acceptable method. The Code says wrenchtight, not hammered with a screwdiver tight."
I was told that by an Inspector once, and luckily I had a little pair of Knipex channel locks on me... So I could make the lock-nuts "wrenchtight".
He nearly quoted a something I saw on an add for Klien "lock-nut pliers" something about to conform to the NEC all lock-nuts must be "wrenchtight", So now Klien makes the handy dandy not available anymore pliers, specificaly for the purpose.
Do you think I own a pair of "lock nut pliers"? NO!
I hammer them with a screwdriver (The Beater), and a pair of linemans, like everyone else.
