Some of the torque settings are really low, like no more than finger tight, so I got myself a 3/8 dr torque wrench which reads 4-20Nm/40-180lbf.in
Things like the camshaft cover are made from soft magnesium and are therefor easily damaged from overtightening, they are only torqued to 10Nm roughly 7ftlb.
I'm not obsesive about torqueing everything exactly, but where there are mutiple fixings I do and I always use the torque for the low ones.
