Steelman 96091 Spare Tire Tool

The Steelman 96091 is a flat head spare tire tool designed for Ford, GM, and Dodge vehicles. It enables quick removal of cradle-suspended spare tires that are difficult to access. The tool is made of durable carbon steel and measures 30-inches in length. It is intended for automotive maintenance and roadside tire changes.

Sustained Use Durability

The tool features a rust and corrosion resistant black powder coat finish for long-term durability. An additional red powder coating on the hex drive end allows for easy identification during repeated use. It is built to withstand the torque applied by a 7/8-inch socketed 1/2-inch drive hand ratchet or tire iron. The carbon steel construction maintains integrity under sustained load.

Vehicle Compatibility Decides Fit

This tool is designed to work on GM late model S-10, Blazer, and Jimmy vehicles. It also fits Ford F150, Expedition, and Explorer models, plus Dodge early model Dakota 2WD and McGuard lock systems. Buyers with vehicles outside these specific applications cannot use this tool. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemical exposure.
