You're kidding, right? If not, how tight are you trying to get the things? You're not torquing lug nuts on a Humvee, you're just trying to get a grip on a little string that's only going to pull back about 15 or 20 lbs or so, worst case. When you consider the mechanical advantage you have with a 3/4" knurled nut turning down a post that's probably less than .100" in diameter, you probably need to use less force on those tuners than you do screwing on a ketchup bottle top <grin>
