No, you don't need one for a cassette. Turn it with a 12 inch wrench till it stops turning with reasonable pressure. (Don't put your weight on it.) It clicks when you tighten it. Generally it'll tighten with a bunch of clicks, then get caught on one. I'll usually go one or two more clicks then call it good.
