TPMS Valve Stem Torque Tool

This Steelman 96198 tool sets valve-stem components to 12 inch-pounds of torque. It is built for technicians and DIY owners who service tire-pressure monitoring systems and need repeatable tightening without guesswork.

12 inch-pound preset torque

The single decisive specification is the fixed 12 inch-pound setting that matches OEM requirements for TPMS sensor seals. If your service procedure calls for a different torque value this tool will not cover that job.

7 mm socket and three star bits included

The bundled bits and socket let you drive the various screw and nut styles found on Steelman Select, Schrader snap-in and TRW snap-in or clamp-on valves for the RAM 3500. No separate bit set is required for those specific fasteners.

Questions about this item

What does the 12 inch-pound rating mean when I am tightening a valve stem?

It lets you tighten the stem to the exact 12 inch-pound specification so the rubber seal seats correctly without over-torquing the sensor.

Which valve-stem interfaces does the included 7mm socket and three star bits cover?

They fit STEELMAN Select Sensors, Schrader rubber snap-in stems, and TRW rubber snap-in valves and metal clamps for the RAM 3500.

What physical clearance do I need to reach the valve stem with this tool?

The compact driver and short bits are designed to reach standard wheel-mounted valve stems without requiring extra socket extensions.
