Description
At 1,500 ft-lb and above, leverage stops being a comfort issue and becomes a safety one. The Snap-on 93TQPA extension handle is the 5 ft tubular handle that Snap-on packs with its heaviest mainstream Torqometer dial wrenches. That puts 60 in of tube between the operator and the wrench body. Lost in HCM supplies it as a factory replacement for lost or damaged handles.
Wrenches paired with the Snap-on 93TQPA extension handle
Snap-on’s data names 19 stock numbers that ship with this handle:
| Series | Catalog rating | Stock numbers |
|---|---|---|
| TE, US reading | see wrench label | TE1503, TE1503FU, TE1503L, TE2003, TE2003FU, TE2003L, TE2005, TE2005FU, TE2005L |
| TEC, US/metric | 1,500 and 2,000 ft-lb | TEC1503FU, TEC1503L, TEC2003FU, TEC2003L, TEC2005, TEC2005FU, TEC2005L |
| TESI, Newton meter | 2,800 N·m | TESI2803FU, TESI2803L, TESI2805 |
In the TEC and TESI tables, the 2005 and 2805 models end in a 1-1/2 in drive, while the 1503, 2003 and 2803 models use 1 in. Still, the same handle serves both drive sizes. Note also that Snap-on gives the 3,000 ft-lb class TE3005 a longer 10 ft 94TQPA, so that model needs a different handle.
The effort behind a 2,000 ft-lb pull
Torque divided by lever length gives the pull you need. At 2,000 ft-lb, the 5 ft 93TQPA on its own still asks for about 400 lb. The wrench body adds some length, so the real figure comes out a little lower. Even so, that is a heavy, sustained load for one person. As a result, many crews pull as a pair, brace their feet and keep the area behind them clear.
Heavy jobs that rely on the 93TQPA
- Large flange and structural bolts on steel frames, pipelines and pressure vessels.
- Mill, crusher and press foundation bolts in cement and mining plants.
- Turbine casing and generator bolts during power plant outages.
- Engine bed and shaft coupling bolts in shipyards.
Care and spare-handle planning
A 5 ft tube takes knocks on scaffolds and truck beds. So inspect it for straightness and dents before every heavy job. Also keep the end that joins the wrench clean and dry. Because one damaged handle can idle a 2,000 ft-lb wrench, outage teams often carry a spare 93TQPA in the kit. In addition, label each handle with the wrench it serves, so the pair travels together.

93TQPA questions
Is the 93TQPA the same as the 92TQPA?
No. The 93TQPA measures 60 in, or 5 ft, while the 92TQPA measures 48 in. Each one matches its own list of wrench models.
Does the TE3005 use this handle?
No. Snap-on’s catalog pairs the TE3005 with the 10 ft 94TQPA handle instead.
Can a 1-1/2 in drive wrench take it?
Yes, where the model appears on the list. The TEC2005 and the TESI2805, for example, both ship with the 93TQPA.
