If you mark the distance the nut is in on the thread you can just tighten it up with a Breaker bar and youd be fair close to the right torque

I'm looking for one myself. Best I've found is around the $180 mark.

I've got a good breaker bar and 1.5m pipe , so no issue tightening it . Just I've read of failures from incorrectly torqued nuts .
