Lisle Valve Core Torque Tool: 4 inch-pounds of valve core precision. Park Tools, Stan's, and Cheap! 

I have the snap on one. They’re similar in price to a pocket screwdriver. It’s satisfying to use. Comes with the classic style handle. The shank is pretty long, which is nice because it keeps your hands away from the wheel when pulling corroded cores from metal TPMS sensors. As an A level tech at the dealership I don’t do many customer tires anymore, but every time I use that snap on one, I’m happy I spent the money. I’m interested in that lisle one for the lube techs at my work. Anything I can do to help prevent their inexperience from ruining something is worth a shot.

3:42 I've used the classic design for over 40 years. The trick is to find a used (or spare) long rubber valve stem and screw it in to the opposite end of the classic version.

The purpose of the torque tool is for aluminum TPMS sensors. The cores for aluminum stems are nickel plated. If over torqued the plating is damaged and then you have corrosion issue with the dissimilar metals.

Love how us Aussies are dominating the 4x4 market, nobody takes it as serious as us.

Great to see you do cycling tools, would love to see more of this as a cyclist

OEM tools makes a nice multi bit screwdriver with a Schrader valve bit in it. Nice emerald green like the stubby

Will be picking one of these up!

Good job love you From Dino Mares Fontana CA

Klein has a bit available for their multi-bit screwdrivers and that's what I use.

Wow, didn't realize Lisle made that tool? I have a great rare one, it's aluminum, with a screw lid, to store spare valves in?

It is called a Schrader Valve. There are lots of valves and they all have some sort of core. Ball valve, gate valve, needle valve, check valve, solenoid valve. Just sayin.

I would like to get one that holds schraeder valves in the handle.

Do they make a Presta valve version? Or should Park Tool licence them to make one (but then they'd load the price up out the wazoo . . . )?

The Lisle tool looks a bit too long to work on many bike wheels, especially smaller ones (e.g 20" BMX). It would probably be useable on larger wheels (26" plus) but not the most convenient shape as the hub/spokes will still be a bit in the way.

The JB (Just Better) is the valve core torque tool must professional HVAC techs use. Being schraders are on majority of HVAC systems and JB being a very reputable brand in the HVAC tool world (equivalent to a tool truck brand)

Can see the convenience of the Lisle with the screwdriver handle, but the torque setting feels a waste of time. Having removed 100s of valves for bike tyres tubeless setups, I've never felt the need to know ehat torque the valve is screwed in to. Snug/tight fit, as per your test, works every time. Id save the money and put it towards an inflator like the ones from USA made Efficient Velo Tools. The difference this inflator makes, in terms of unrestricted air flow, is significant vs a cheap inflator especially for some hard to seat road bike tyres.
