Best advice, buy a torque multiplier such as below. Makes a crappy job a little less crappy. It cost a few more bucks up front but makes the job much easier.

I'm working with a 500 lbs Mountain torque wrench off Amazon. Was around 300$.

Yup, I got that as well.

How is working with a torque multiplyer? Is it preferable to work with the full size (cheap-ish )torque wrench compared to a SnapOn multiplyer?
I would guess a multipler has issues with accuracy but again how exact the Mountain wrench is, I don't know. It comes with a certificate of calibration though.

I have the full setup of SnapOn, so I have an itch for solving the torque issue with SnapOn as well..
