I tried it. Once upon a time, I visited the family back east but did I bring my tuning kit?? Never leave home without it. My folks don't have a piano, but oops, my uncle did. So finding that a 1/4" ratchet tip was the "right size" I proceeded. Never again!! Even on a breaker bar, it was too loose, and tended to chew the pins when I tried to set them. I hadn't realized tuning pins were that soft. It could have been an execption, but what a way to find out.
