Once you get a hotend that let's you do this you'll never want to go back.

This is a Phaetus Dragon HF hotend.

Lol you used both hands though!

Also, you are going to ruin your heat break like that. I know you claim in another comment that the heat break is designed for this, but I can see it turn. It is absolutely putting stresses on the assembly that will cause it to fail over time. It may work short term, but I have serious doubts.

No matter what the manufacturer says, I'd use a wrench or some pliers to prevent it from turning when you unscrew the nozzle.
