Jim I didn’t mean to offend you in any way. I know you have lots of experience and don’t go around destroying crankshafts. My comment was made concerning the novice that beats on the nut and mushrooms the end and/or bends the crank. I’m sure you and I both have seen lots of ruined cranks from doing that. And once the crank threads are buggered up, lots of luck tightening the nut to proper torque. The knocker is so effective and easy and cheap to make, so I suggest it.
