Protect your wheels, wheel studs, and brake rotors with STEELMAN torque extensions. The STEELMAN 50091A 1/2-Inch Drive Blue 80 ft-lb Torque Extension is designed to prevent damage to wheels, studs, and brake rotors by reducing the risk of overtightening lug nuts which can result in sheared stud bolts, rounded lug nuts, and warped rotors. This 8-inch extension bar will, when used with an impact wrench, limit the effective output of the wrench to 80 ft-lb of torque and anything above that will cause the extension bar will flex and absorb the extra impact. This torque stick is made of resilient chrome molybdenum (Chromoly) steel that has a blue powder coat to make it easy to pick out among other tools or in a crowded toolbox.
STEELMAN is an industry leader in automotive and industrial specialty tools and equipment, manufacturing the highest quality, unique, and innovative tools and products, designed to meet the specific needs of mechanics, contractors, and other working professionals.
- Prevents over-tightening - over-tightening can lead to premature failure of wheels, wheel studs, and rotors
- Flexes to limit torque - when 80 ft-lb of torque is reached the extension will flex to absorb impact and stop tightening
- 1/2-inch drive - both male and female ends are 1/2-inch drive for use with heavy-duty impact wrenches and sockets
- Calibration free - predetermined maximum allowed torque, no moving parts, maintenance and recalibration free
- Powder-coated - steel powder-coated blue for corrosion resistance and to differentiate from other extensions
