Tighten using arms/hands with the lug wrench and check with a torque wrench when you can. Try to keep about the same torque on all to avoid rotor problems.

another area where people freak out for no reason

Look at the Honda rotor design, for the most part the rotor is held on by the wheel nuts.
Improperly torqued lugs, as in unevenly tightened, will do a lot to aggravate warping rotor issues.
Torque wrench is very important.

of course grossly over torquing them can warp rotors... not many people are going to do that.
