As an aside, I always check I can undo a couple of nuts with the hand brace before leaving the tyre depot, expecting them all to be torqued to the same value. I do the same after service. That one must have been done twice, or before the gun was adjusted.

Derek,
do not, I repeat do not wrap for fingers around the wheel brace and push down. Same for anyone else, don't do it. If the brace slips off you will with some force send your knuckles to the ground and then follow with your weight. Put a foot on the brace and push down with your foot or push with an open palm
