Will,
Regarding your torque wrenches, you say:

"Both 1/2" drive, with a 5" extension. They can handle any parts' torque on our cars, up to 100-ish ft-lbs and I use mine as a breaker bar."

From the Craftsman Torque Wrench Owner's Manual:

"DO NOT apply more torque than the rated capacity of the torque wrench.
Do not use it as a nut-breaker." [emphasis mine]
