The welded nut thing works well for me but before I did that, I just used a regular wrench.

On my last bike I watched the mechanic adjust the clutch. He put a socket and extension on the nut and gave it a hard quick shot with the palm of his hand to loosen the nut. He made the adjustment and gave it another hard fast tap with the palm of his hand to tighten it.

An offset wrench works great for me.

Not the lock nut. The large clutch hub nut is though. Sounds like you're doing something wrong.
