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.
