You can rent a torque wrench at your local auto parts supply house, but since these never get recalibrated and are usually of Chinese origin, I recommend that you beg, borrow or buy a NICE one. ° A good torque wrench, I use a Snap-On QD3R250. ° A good armorers wrench, I've got a DPMS one that I've had for years that I picked up at a gun show for about 30.00 or so. ° A small pair of vice grips will be handy later.
