The risk with that approach, is that you'll trash the BB (and possibly the shell or cranks): it won't necessarily warn you that it's loose by creaking immediately.
If you don't have access to the tools, then I'd take it to the shop.
I have a torque wrench just for BB which is slightly frustrating, but considering the possible consequences...

Suspect this has been answered in depth but how important is getting torque accurate for a BSA/FSA Mega Evo BB?
FSA's video on YouTube states something like 41nm but I don't have a torque wrench that goes that high and don't want to have to buy the socket tool.
Part of me says just get it nice and tight and nip it up if it's creaky.
