Sure it is, it's possible to screw anything up including a valve
adjustment. I've seen techs get the valve cover gasket on wrong which
caused oil leaks on the timing belt.

I've also seen techs leave the lock nut loose. If this nut backs off all of
the way it can cause physical damage to the engine especially the camshaft.

By the way, buying ultra inexpensive tools from KMart is not a good
investment. Quality tools will pay for themselves over the years that you
own them. I've had some cheap plastic screwdriver handles literally break
apart in my hand as I was using them.
