You need one hand to keep the adjuster from over tighten and one hand too tighten the lock nut. Slot, allen, torx on the end of the adjuster is not an issue.
Why a torx slot adjuster was developed? Someone thought there was a market I guess, Plenty of people with Porsches and too much cash to spend...

Joes picture is from someone two-handing the lock nut (doing it wrong), stupid people (not blaming Joe) do stupid things, no fancy parts will fix that!
