My understanding - passed down from my Dad, a mechanic in the era of spinners and knockoffs - is that you bang them as tight as you can
with a lead hammer. When the lead is absorbing most of the impact, the spinner is as tight as it will go without damage.
Using other tools, including plastic or rubber mallets or spinner wrenches, can overtighten and damage spinners, wheels and hubs... but never a properly wielded lead mallet.
And anti-seize is never optional.
