I am using no hub couplings to connect drain pipes and the couplings are

I have a torque wrench that will tighten to 60 pound-inch and then releases
but not 80, and I don't want to pay a lot of money to for a 90 pound-in
torque wrench just to tighten 2 couplings and will not have a use for it
ever. *Is there any trick anyone can think of that would allow me to tighen

Thanks,

Wait till it releases at 60 in-lb and then tighten it a little more.

You'll be close enough to 80 for what you're connecting. Test it
before concealing it if you're concerned.
