Lisle 15190 Valve Core Tool

Perfect for the job

Works exactly as it should, quality is great so far and I use it every day.

Very easy to use. Works well. Should’ve gotten one of these things a long time ago.

Added this to the system. I am fairly knowledgeable of Tire shop equipment, and didn’t know that cores are a specific torque, this is awesome knowing this make them perfect.

I use it everyday but the pocket clip broke off in just a few days of having it

It works as it should and feels like good quality

If you were looking for a TPMS / Schrader valve torque tool, look no further As somebody who has ordered virtually every single Schrader valve torque tool you can possibly find on the internet, this is the only one worth spending any money on. Made in the USA, heavyweight anodized aluminum body, with rugged rubber grip, this is what you want, smooth torque action that accurately and repeatedly puts down exactly 3 inch pounds of torque. The only other ones that I've tried that actually worked was the slime brand, but it feels very cheap, and it did not put down accurate readings consistently. The brand JB industries model a32008 is fairly decent, but at a price of $32 compared to the $24 of the Lisle model number 18810 it's not even a competition, with the JB industries model being completely made out of plastic and having a very heavy torque rating of almost seven inch pounds with a very unrefined mechanism. Go ahead and skip the other brands like slime, any of the cheap ones, and even any of the expensive alternatives, they are all awful in comparison with cheap plastic bodies and friction plates that wear out or break immediately, I even bought one from Performance tool brand that arrived literally in pieces right from the factory.

Nice solid build quality. NOT PLASTIC!

Well built and does the job. Torque/clicking mechanism does come loose over time, but can just spin it to retighten the spec. Overall happy with the purchase

The tool arrived quickly and was exactly as described. The heat-treated steel tip feels robust and confident when removing/installing standard valve cores. The ergonomic handle is a standout — it uses a dual-durometer construction and features a rotating knob at the end, which really helps when working a stuck valve core or applying steady pressure with the palm. The length (about 5.7″) is long enough to reach valve stems in trickier places (e.g., inner dual wheels) without feeling awkward. Has a pocket clip, which is a nice touch for keeping it handy rather than buried in the bottom of the toolbox. The steel tip, while solid so far, might benefit from being slightly more robust in heavy-use environments (lots of cores removed/installed)—time will tell. I used this tool for changing some tyre valve cores and checking/leaking ones on a couple of vehicles. It performed smoothly: the tip engaged the core cleanly, the rotating knob let me turn without awkward wrist-motion, and the handle’s comfort meant I didn’t feel a strain after a few removals. The pocket clip kept it within reach. Installation went cleanly with no obvious damage to cores or stems. I was especially pleased how it handled the more awkward inner-dual wheel valvestems — the 5.7″ length made a noticeable difference compared to a very short tool I previously had. If you shop occasionally or are a DIY mechanic with a home-garage, the Lisle 15190 is a solid, reliable valve core tool at a good price. It hits the sweet spot of durability, usability, and comfort. If you’re a high-volume professional or working in extremely tight/unique valve stem locations, you might want to explore a more specialized model — but for most users this is more than adequate.

Je l'utilise a tout le jour au travail, c'est un bon outil

Fits nicely in your mechanic shirt pocket and has a spinning top that makes it easier to remove and install tire valve cores. I'd rate it 4.5 stars only because the pocket clip fell out, I put it back in a few times but then I just lost it. Not a big deal though. imo it's nicer than the snap on and Mac ones my co-workers use, and I'm a snap on guy. Matco actually rebrands these and sells them on their trucks too

I took the rubber grip off and use it as a protective cap as it slips on the handle like others experienced
