An auxiliary fixture for a tire pressure monitoring device has a handle, a positioning base, and a holding lever. The positioning base is connected to the handle and has a pivot segment and a clamping segment. The pivot segment is deposited on a rear side of the positioning base and is pivotally connected to the handle. The clamping segment is deposited on a front side of the positioning base, is connected to the pivot segment, and has two adjusting elements and a pushing pin. The adjusting elements are deposited on a front side of the clamping segment, and the pushing pin is deposited between the adjusting elements to press against the tire pressure monitoring device. A distance between the adjusting elements can be adjusted to enable the adjusting elements to clamp the tire pressure monitoring device. The holding lever is connected to the handle.

A mini pump comprising a linear hand pump assembly and a valve core tool is disclosed. The linear hand pump assembly is configured to operate along a longitudinal pump axis and comprises a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The valve core tool is releasably coupled to the first end and has a central tool axis and a cavity centered on, and running parallel to, the central tool axis. The cavity passes through at least one of a top surface and a bottom surface of the tool and is shaped to mate with a valve core such that, with respect to rotation about the tool axis, the valve core is rotationally fixed to the tool. The pump axis and the tool axis are collinear when the tool is coupled to the assembly. The valve core tool and the pump assembly may be threadedly coupled.

The present disclosure provides a device for inserting an inflating valve, comprising a synchronous clamping and centering mechanism, a synchronous rotating mechanism, a valve hole position detection mechanism and an inflating valve inserting mechanism. The device can meet the requirement for automatically inserting an inflating valve to a wheel, has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient manufacture, stable performance and precision that can meet the machining requirement, and can meet the requirements for automatic production.

A multi-functional TPMS sensor fastener torque tool includes a torque driver and a user interface which allows a user to identify the TPMS sensor to be serviced, obtain a recommended fastener torque from a reference torque value database, measure the torque applied to the sensor fastener and alert the user when the reference torque has been reached or exceeded. In one example, the reference TPMS fastener torque values are stored in a memory device in the torque tool which are accessible through a plurality of graphic user interface menus on a display device.

Described are valve stems for wheels or other pressure vessels that may be installed from the exterior of a wheel or pressure vessel without access to the interior, pressure retaining areas. The valve stem may include a body with a barrel and taper. A neck may be between the body and a base that includes a flange, a flange landing, and an air aperture. An air channel runs vertically through the valve stem to allow air to pass from one side of the valve stem to another with a valve core or other flow control device. The base of the valve stem may include a groove that allows the valve stem to be installed into a hole by twisting such that the groove may ride along the rim of the hole and guide the valve stem into a fully seated and sealed position.
