Anybody else use the lock ring pliers to adjust the cup and lock the ring down? If the BB is properly faced and chased, threads lubed with grease, you can squeeze on the lock ring, and the additional friction will allow you to turn the bottom bracket cup. Then, relax your grip, and tighten the ring down. One handed job, so to speak.
