Spare tire tool for early Ford

The STEELMAN 96095 is a standard square head tire tool designed for early model Ford vehicles. It allows quick removal of cradle-suspended spare tires that are difficult to access. The tool measures 30-inches in length and is made of durable carbon steel. It is operated using a 7/8-inch socketed 1/2-inch drive ratchet, combination wrench, or tire iron.

30-inch reach and carbon steel build

The 30-inch length provides the necessary reach to engage the spare tire hoist mechanism through the access hole. Carbon steel construction delivers the strength required to break loose corroded or seized mechanisms. A black powder coat resists rust and corrosion during storage and use. The hex drive end features an additional orange powder coating for easy identification in a tool bag or roadside kit.

Questions about this item

Will the 30-inch Steelman 96095 reach the spare-tire hoist on my early-model Ford without forcing it?

The tool is 30 inches long and made of carbon steel with a black powder coat and orange-coated hex drive end. It inserts into the cradle-suspended hoist and turns with a 7/8-inch socketed 1/2-inch drive ratchet, combination wrench or lug wrench to lower the tire.

How can I confirm the Steelman 96095 is engaging the hoist correctly after I insert it?

When the square head seats fully in the hoist mechanism, turning the 1/2-inch drive ratchet or wrench rotates the hoist shaft and the spare tire descends smoothly. If the tool slips or the tire does not move, reposition the head until it locks into the drive socket.

Does the Steelman 96095 package include the 1/2-inch drive ratchet or lug wrench needed to turn it?

The box contains only the 30-inch carbon-steel tire tool with black and orange powder-coat finish. A 7/8-inch socketed 1/2-inch drive ratchet, combination wrench or lug wrench must be supplied separately.
