Is a Torque Wrench a "must have" for Changing Valve Cover Gaskets???

I am about to change my valve cover gaskets this weekend but was told that I may need a torque wrench. The gaskets feel like a light metal, they aren't the paper kind of gaskets. Do you think that I should definitely use a torque wrench or can I just snug it up good but not too tight?

Thanks for the help! :-)
