Shop Torque Wrench for Wheel Service
The Steelman 96157 is a 1/2-inch drive pre-set torque wrench calibrated to 80 ft-lb. It is built for professional automotive shops and tyre-service bays that need fast, repeatable lug-nut tightening on motor vehicles.
Upgrade from Adjustable Clicker Wrenches
Technicians no longer waste time setting a clicker, double-beam or electronic wrench for every wheel job. The fixed 80 ft-lb setting eliminates adjustment steps, cuts the risk of over- or under-torqued lug nuts and reduces costly comebacks.
High-Volume Tyre Bays and Fleet Shops
The one-way mechanism prevents use as a breaker bar, so the tool suits operations that value calibration integrity over versatility. Shops needing multiple torque values or occasional breaker-bar duty should choose a different wrench.
