I don't believe a torque wrench is needed at all, but some hand sense is needed. If you're experienced you should be able to read the recommended torque and approximate it based on judgment and experience. For a newbie, this might be more of a problem, but as AEO said, it's a large thread and virtually impossible to strip.
