What torque settings does this tool provide?
The Schrader 20137 provides dual torque settings with 4 in-lbs (0.5 Nm) for valve cores and 11.5 in-lbs (1.3 Nm) for valve screws. These precise settings meet the updated Tire and Rim Association specifications, which increased from the previous 1.5-4 inch-lbs range to the current 3-5 inch-lbs requirement for TRC1 valve cores.
Does this tool work with all TPMS valve types?
Yes, this torque tool features universal compatibility with most TPMS valve assemblies used in passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles. The tool serves dual functions as both a valve core remover and installer, making it suitable for all standard TPMS sensor service procedures including valve core replacement and maintenance.
How does this compare to standard valve core tools?
Unlike basic valve core tools that rely on feel and guesswork, the Schrader 20137 provides calibrated torque control to prevent over-tightening that can crack valve stems or under-tightening that causes leaks. It meets professional TRA torque specifications while basic tools often exceed safe torque limits, potentially damaging expensive TPMS sensors.
Is this suitable for DIY tire service?
Yes, the ergonomic design with comfortable grip and precise torque control makes it suitable for both professional tire shops and serious DIY automotive enthusiasts. However, proper TPMS service also requires knowledge of valve core specifications and safety procedures, so beginners should follow manufacturer guidelines and consider professional training for complex TPMS repairs.
