Monday morning QB here ... definitely get one. You can get a decent one for not that expensive at Harbor Freight or Sears. I recently sheared off a motor mount bolt because I was too dumb to USE the torque wrench I had sitting in my garage. It was a HUGE PITA to get out. I think the money for a torque wrench is worth just knowing nothing major is on too tight or too loose.
