Default Torque wrench for scope rings?

Hello all. Thought I would post a question in here while the section is still new.

The last time I mounted a scope, I over-tightened the rings and damaged the scope tube. That got me to wondering, does anyone use a torque wrench when tightening scope rings? The torque wrench obviously would be used to prevent over-tightening.

Is such a wrench even available for hex bolts or are they for sockets only?

Thanks. And no, I am not a gunsmith.
