STEELMAN JS-50090A Steelman 1/2-Inch Drive Gray 100 ft-lb Torque Extension
Prevent Over-Tightening - Steelman Torque Extension (JS-50090A, 100 ft-lb)
Professional Grade Impact Tool Torque Control
The Steelman JS-50090A torque extension prevents wheel damage by flexing at exactly 100 ft-lb, stopping over-tightened lug nuts that cause warped rotors. This chrome molybdenum steel extension absorbs excess impact force while maintaining workflow speed. Works with all 1/2-inch drive impact wrenches without calibration.
Key Benefits
Flex-Based Torque Limiting - Extension shaft flexes at 100 ft-lb to absorb additional impact force, preventing over-tightening without stopping your workflow or requiring torque wrench verification.
Maintenance-Free Operation - No moving parts or calibration needed. Chrome molybdenum steel construction resists corrosion and powder-coated gray finish provides quick identification.
Universal Compatibility - Male and female 1/2-inch drive ends work with all pneumatic and electric impact wrenches, including extended anvil models. Perfect for tire shops, fleet maintenance, and mobile mechanics.
Perfect For These Applications
- Tire rotations and seasonal wheel changes.
- Brake service and rotor replacement jobs.
- Fleet maintenance on passenger vehicles and light trucks.
- Mobile tire service and roadside assistance.
- Auto shop wheel installations requiring consistent torque.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this torque extension compare to adjustable torque sticks?
Unlike adjustable sticks that require calibration and have moving parts, this extension flexes at a fixed 100 ft-lb with no maintenance needed. The chrome molybdenum construction is more durable than typical steel torque sticks.
Will this work with high-torque impact wrenches?
Yes, it works with all 1/2-inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches including high-torque models. The extension absorbs excess force above 100 ft-lb regardless of your impact wrench's maximum output.
Is 100 ft-lb suitable for most passenger vehicles?
Yes, 100 ft-lb covers the torque specifications for most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks. This rating prevents over-tightening while providing adequate clamping force for safe wheel installation.
Do I still need to use a torque wrench for final tightening?
No, the extension limits torque to 100 ft-lb automatically. However, some technicians prefer a final torque wrench check for critical applications or to meet specific shop procedures.
