Yes, a vice is enough and can be too much if your not careful. Another point is moving them around a lot, as in turning the adjuster screw in and out. IMO it is best to figure out or guess the approximant height required of the lifter and move it to that position prior to installation. And then limit the movement during the final adjustment as much a possible.
