I used to never tourqe my plugs on my old car, and it never seemed to hurt anything, but sometimes they'd come loose. THere is a tourqe spec in the helms (I beleive it's 19lb/ft) that I always torque to now, and I use anti-seize.
I don't like to mess around with the threads, so I always make sure they're tourqued properly. You can get a cheap wrench at sears (one of the pendulum type). You might think about getting one anyway, I usse mine all the time. Cheap investment.
