I use my fingers. Can’t over tighten it which can cause the pocket chip to crack. I really like the leather suggestion though. I plan to try it.

There is a StewMac adjustable tool that I regularly use to loosen switch nuts which have become immovable from
sweat/grime/years of play.
When used properly, you'll never have to worry about those pliers getting away from you & messing up the top.
For tightening the nut, I like leather..........
