I would suggest NOT using metal tools to tighten/loosen PL-259 
connectors. Too much of an opportunity to damage the connector.

The silicon "mat", for want of a better term, used to loosen jar lids is 
the way to go. Cut a piece ~3"L X 1"W and you have a good method to "get 
a grip" on the connector. This will work on numerous other connectors as 
well.
