This is what I do, but with an 18v Milwaukee cordless on a low setting. Only reliable way to tighten is to finish with a correct torque wrench. Then undoing will be less of an issue. However, I had my first ever roadside puncture this morning (ZTT front passenger side sudden deflation). Only half a mile from the house and being late for work, I panicked and decided to limp back and grab another car. Not a recommended solution with hindsight
