on my honda dirt bike it calls for 8ftlbs all of the time.. my dad always told me that 8ft lbs should be as tight as you can get it with a nutdriver.. ( screwdriver with a socket on the end of it)

I was going to recommend an inch pound torque wrench from harbor freight but the low range minimum was 20 inch pounds. I would say gentley snug it with an 8" 3/8 ratchet wrench because my fingers are not as strong as stosh's! 
Just exactley what is it you're trying to fasten, anyway?
