I do it the old fashion way that many say won't work.

Not lucky, I do it exactly the same way and so do many others I know. Tighten until snug, back off, tighten finger tight. It's a wheel bearing, not rocket science.
If the bearing cannot be preloaded correctly, it's time for new bearings, they don't last forever.
