"hammering a screw driver on the locknut is not an acceptable method. The Code says wrenchtight, not hammered with a screwdiver tight."

I wonder what that inspector would say if he saw me use a Bosch Bulldog set on hammer to tighten larger steel locknuts?

Try it before you laugh to much. [Linked Image]

Tighten a locknut with handtools as tight as you can, then put the Bulldog to it. It will spin the locknut like it was loose.

You will not have worry about the locknut cutting through the paint. [Linked Image]
