bang a small nail into a countertop and slip the swivel or the snap over this nail and pull with all my weight to really clinch the knots down tight

All
YOUR weight?
What's worse losing a few nice fish or having your counter-tops ripped off the walls?
Seriously, I remember Iron Mike telling me that he re-tied all the knots and replaced his leader every half hour or so depending on how heavy a lure/eel he was throwing.
Runing line to swivel, and both leader knots.
Knot strength degrades from the stress of casting....
