Steelman 60162 Torque Socket Extension
The Steelman 60162 is a 1-inch drive torque socket extension built from alloy steel for use with impact wrenches. It suits professional mechanics and heavy-duty fleet maintenance where controlled torque on large fasteners is required. The red finish aids quick identification in a busy workshop. This single-piece tool is designed for high-torque wheel and tire assembly tasks.
Practical limits of the 1-inch drive interface
The extension handles a working torque of 250 ft-lb or 338 N-m, which defines the maximum force it can reliably transmit. Exceeding this rating risks damage to the tool or the fastener. Its 10-inch overall length provides reach for deep-set lug nuts but also increases leverage, so operators must stay within the stated torque limit. The 1-inch square drive fits matching impact sockets and wrenches only.
13-1/4 inch socket length decides fit
The critical specification is the 13-1/4 inch socket length, which determines whether the extension reaches recessed wheel nuts on specific vehicle hubs. If the recess is deeper or shallower, this extension will not engage the fastener correctly. Verify the required reach against the wheel assembly before purchase. No other dimension overrides this fit requirement.

Questions about this item
Which drive size version of the Steelman 60162 should I choose for my impact wrench?
This extension has a 1 in drive size and is built for impact wrenches that accept 1 in sockets.
What does the 250 ft-lb working torque mean when I am tightening wheel nuts?
It means the extension can safely transmit up to 250 ft-lb (338 N-m) from the wrench to the socket without permanent deformation.
How does the 1 in drive interface limit what sockets I can use?
The 1 in square drive only accepts sockets with a matching 1 in square opening, so smaller 1/2 in or 3/4 in sockets will not fit directly.
