Why is it necessary to have this special tool? Why not just adjust to 1/4 inch and call it a day?

I don’t have this special kingpin tool. How to know when is too tight

Big question I need bushings for my plate would you still happen to carry old bushing still?
It is not set up like the ones in the videos.
It has dual jaws also a spring lever on the entryway and the realse is on the right side

So if I have slack on my fifth wheel I need to go clockwise or counterclockwise to reduce the slack?
