Precision Micro-Adjustable Torque Wrench
The Steelman 96196-B is a 1/4-inch drive adjustable torque wrench calibrated from 30 to 150 in-lb. It targets technicians and enthusiasts who need repeatable clamping force on small fasteners such as TPMS sensors, bicycle components, motorcycle parts and other small-engine assemblies.
Sustained Accuracy and Audible Feedback
The wrench clicks audibly and tactilely when the preset torque is reached while turning clockwise, giving immediate confirmation without relying on visual estimation. An inset window in the handle displays the current setting, adjustable in 2 in-lb increments by rotating the base dial. Carbon steel construction maintains calibration through repeated cycles, and each unit ships with a certificate of calibration.
Replaces Guesswork and Fixed Tools
This tool eliminates the need for improvised tightening methods or multiple fixed-value wrenches when working across the 30-150 in-lb range. The reversible ratchet drives fasteners in both directions but only measures torque clockwise, so it suits assembly tasks rather than breakaway checks. Buyers who require a wider range or larger drive size should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How much force is needed to operate the 96196-B wrench continuously at its 150 in-lb maximum setting?
The wrench clicks audibly and tactilely when the set torque is reached; the force you apply depends on the fastener size and your grip, not on a motor or power source.
Which sockets and drive tools must I already own to use this 1/4-inch drive torque wrench?
Any standard 1/4-inch drive socket set will fit; the wrench accepts all 1/4-inch drive sockets for fastener sizes you encounter.
Will the reversible ratchet on the 96196-B measure torque correctly on older fasteners that require counter-clockwise tightening?
The wrench only measures torque in the clockwise direction; counter-clockwise use drives the fastener but does not register a torque reading.
