Though to save anyone else saying it, it's an output jack, not an input jack.
I'm so ashamed for making that mistake when I already knew that lol

Having said that, would a normal socket (+ extension) + ratchet driver do it?

I have a method for doing this…
1 - make sure the jack is a Switchcraft. All other jacks are shit.
2 - make sure it has a shakeproof washer on the inside. If not, fit one.
3 - put the nut on and nearly tighten it up, but leave it a couple of turns loose.
4 - drip a little superglue onto the thread.
5 - holding the inside part of the jack with a cloth so you can keep it in the right position with the contact pointing straight down without ripping your hand open, tighten up the nut with a socket and a ratchet handle, as tight as humanly possible.
That way it will never ever come loose again - not even on a school guitar! The reason for only using a Switchcraft is that not only are they the best by far in terms of longevity, they're the only ones strong enough to withstand being done up like that.
In the unlikely event that you do ever need to change it again, heat the nut with a soldering iron until the glue burns off - mind the fumes don't get in your eyes.

Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
