Steelman 60162 Torque Socket Extension 13-1/4 in Red

Steelman 60162 Torque Socket Extension

The Steelman 60162 is a 1-inch drive torque socket extension built from alloy steel for use with impact wrenches. It suits professional mechanics and heavy-duty fleet maintenance where controlled torque on large fasteners is required. The red finish aids quick identification in a busy workshop. This single-piece tool is designed for high-torque wheel and tire assembly tasks.

Practical limits of the 1-inch drive interface

The extension handles a working torque of 250 ft-lb or 338 N-m, which defines the maximum force it can reliably transmit. Exceeding this rating risks damage to the tool or the fastener. Its 10-inch overall length provides reach for deep-set lug nuts but also increases leverage, so operators must stay within the stated torque limit. The 1-inch square drive fits matching impact sockets and wrenches only.

13-1/4 inch socket length decides fit

The critical specification is the 13-1/4 inch socket length, which determines whether the extension reaches recessed wheel nuts on specific vehicle hubs. If the recess is deeper or shallower, this extension will not engage the fastener correctly. Verify the required reach against the wheel assembly before purchase. No other dimension overrides this fit requirement.
