I guess you could overtighten the knock-offs.......but I've never had any 
problem with that........just hammer on the lugs evenly, one then the other, 
until they only move a 3/16" or so.......that's just about right........doesn't 
spread anything.......un-doing them you don't have to be so careful keeping 
them 
even.

Tightening just by hand then driving around the block would scare the s--- 
out of me!  Yeah!......running forward they tend to be tightening.......but in 
reverse.........I am somewhat suspicious that those hammers, having been used 
for 60+ years, must have some purpose........other than to add weight to the 
boot........<g>.........
