Whole lotta Miata

Looks like there is a crank pulley tool to hold the crank in place while you torque the bolt down: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.flyinmiata.com/flyin-miata-crank-bolt-tool.html">https://www.flyinmiata.com/flyin-miata- ... -tool.html</a><!-- m -->

Why not just leave it in gear / parking brake on and go to town with a torque wrench? I know the short nose crank is sensitive but I'd just hit it hard with a good impact and call it a day....
