I see there's a 4 inch-lb torque tool in that same listing. I guess there's a torque value for everything. (I think I've been over tightening them)

And now it’s up to $10.40!

I wish I had a picture of the one I made when I had my metal lathe
Well I still have it but it's in storage.
Anyways it was nice but we were changing two tires on this guy's motorcycle and he was driving me crazy getting all nervous cuz we couldn't get the wheel back on I said take the caliper off. Oh I don't want to do all that it came off with me caliper on there.
I said yeah but coming apart and going back together two different things.
So anyways we needed a valve core removal tool so I he was driving me crazy so I cut mine down to try to fit his wheel and that was the end of that.

Crazy............ l guess they don't want you to use common sense when tightening it?

good ol' fashion "common sense" seems to be a Super Power currently ... if you know what i mean.

Maybe the torque tool is for OCD people?............ lol

or for applications that require recording the torque when installing. as goofy as this sounds, there are lots of applications (aerospace is the first one that comes to mind) where any threaded component is required to be torqued to spec and recorded.

I keep one of these in every toolbox - buy in bulk and they're cheap, never know when you might need

Those are nice to have too because of the valve stem ID and OD thread chasers,
