Oil filter torque?

Hey guys,

Just wondering is it really necessary to torque down an oil filter? On the genuine filter it says to torque it down 12~16Nm? I thought hand tight was enough for filters? If so how would you go about getting a wrench to torque it...tried searching to no avail. Also would the drain plug need to be torqued as well? Think i saw in the DIY section its at 28.9.
