The last mechanic I went to torqued these to hell…what are the chances he also tightened my spark plugs this much?

Never again…my other mechanic never overtorqued things this much.

    One thing they completely forbid is any electric tools, those can cause a spark and potentially an explosion.

    True … but for the amateur mechanic, you’ll probably be fine as long as you avoid using electric tools near any major fuel leaks.
