Toilet seat nut turning secret

This is a really dumb question, but I gotta ask. I just installed a new toilet seat on the ol' throne. I found that it was really hard turning those nylon nuts by hand -- I would need fingers longer and stronger than mine to cinch them really tight. Looking at the nut -- sorta had four fins and nothing vaguely hexagonal that a nut driver would fit on -- I didn't see any way that any tool /I've/ ever seen could reach up and tighten them suckers, esp. with the long bolts in the way.So, uh . . . what's the secret? Do I have to send money to learn?
