Seriously man, get a proper lockring tool, or take it down to the bike shop to get them to do the final tightening. the screwdriver and hammer method is asking for trouble. Ride it up a couple of hills with no back pressure, then tighten that lockring on there good with the proper tool.
Which reminds me. I need to get a lockring wrench before I ride my new bike very far.
