Steelman 97867-STL 1/2" Drive Digital Torque Checker

Portable torque verification tool

The STEELMAN 97867-STL turns a bench vise into a torque checking station so mechanics can verify wrench accuracy without sending tools away for recalibration. It serves both professional technicians and home garage owners who need confidence that their mechanical torque wrenches stay within acceptable tolerances. The device also works as a training aide to teach proper tightening technique.

Digital display with alerts and multiple units

Peak and track modes let the user capture maximum torque or watch the reading live while ft-lb, Nm, kg-m and in-lb units cover common specifications. User-definable audible and visual alarms warn when a target value is reached, and a 90 second automatic shutoff preserves the two included AAA batteries. A blow-moulded plastic case keeps the checker and accessories together for transport.

Powder-coated steel housing with brass vise pads

The 16-gauge steel body resists shop wear and the brass mounting pads grip securely in vise jaws without marring them. This mounting method means any sturdy bench vise becomes a repeatable test fixture, eliminating the need for a dedicated calibration stand. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains chemicals known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or reproductive harm.
