Like you say, it's cheap enough to give it a go.

If you're gonna break the bolts loose first while the cars on the ground then I think those will work fine for you - at that point they're pretty much loose.
I think if you want to use the torque wrench for breaking bolts I think you would be fine so long as the force you're exerting doesn't exceed the rating of the torque wrench. I was taught not to do this, I assume, because the torque wrench is more fragile and expensive than a breaker bar (or most ratchets even). There's more than one way to skin a cat though
