Too tight can crush the wood and a tad too tight can crack the finish so be very careful. Tighter is not better with tuner nuts. I ONLY use my thumb and index finger to tighten tuner nuts using the appropriate sized nut driver. I turn the nut until I feel resistance and STOP. Its difficult to over tighten using this technique. Every time you change strings check to see if the tuner nuts are still snug using this method.
