A good approach for those PL-259 connectors outside or exposed to the weather.   For those inside, that's a might bit aggressive. I just prefer to snug them tight, a bit more than hand tight, using some small channel lock pliers.

I started using a corrosion-inhibiting lube on my PL-259s, and religiously
sealing them with Coax-Seal. I tighten them very tightly as well. Since I
started doing that, I have no odd failures or intermittent connections in
my feedlines.
