headset adjustment

so I just installed a new headset, after lots of prep work (facing, having the steering tube milled to fit a smaller crown race), and I have another question...

why does my brand new 32mm "lazer precision" park tools headset wrench fit all loose and sloppy on my 32mm headset lock nut? it is so loose that it was impossible to tighten the nut down without totally chewing up the edges of the nut. using my callipers, the "lazer cut" park tool measured 32.2mm, and the tange headset nut just about 32.0. Is this normal? I found it really annoying that my expensive new tool didn't *quite* fit my new headset.
