Description
Plastic bosses forgive very little. In fact, one extra turn can strip the thread, and the part then goes to scrap. The Snap-on CTLNKMS100F torque screwdriver guards against that with a range of 0.31 to 6.25 in-lb. It is a ControlTech Link micro driver with a female drive end.
The same range in three units
Specs for small parts often come in N·cm or in-oz. So the table below converts the range from the product name.
| Unit | Low end | High end |
|---|---|---|
| in-lb | 0.31 | 6.25 |
| in-oz | about 5 | 100 |
| N·cm | about 3.5 | about 70.6 |
Therefore you can match a drawing to the CTLNKMS100F without a calculator.
Why the female end suits low-torque benches
The CTLNKMS100F takes a bit or adapter in its female end. As a result, an operator can swap a worn bit in seconds and keep the driver. That matters at this scale, because a tired bit slips easily on a tiny screw head. The male sibling, CTLNKMS100M, suits benches whose holders already fit a male end.
Where the Snap-on CTLNKMS100F torque screwdriver works
- Fiber optic connectors and transceiver housings.
- LCD and display module frames.
- Keypad, remote control and small appliance housings.
- Sensor heads, probe tips and small actuators.
Component plants across northern and southern Vietnam build parts like these in high volume. Each of them therefore depends on a screw that stops at the right point.
Light hands, steady results
Turn the driver slowly with the fingertips, and keep the screw axis straight. A tilted driver adds side load, which can strip a small thread before you reach the spec. Also start each screw by hand, so it never cross-threads.
Looking after the Snap-on CTLNKMS100F torque screwdriver
Check it on a low-range torque tester before a new build starts. In addition, keep a log of each driver’s serial number and check dates. Then follow your plant’s interval for outside calibration.

Questions on the CTLNKMS100F
What is the range of the CTLNKMS100F in N·cm?
It is about 3.5 to 70.6 N·cm, which matches 0.31 to 6.25 in-lb.
Should I choose the female or the male version?
Choose the end that fits your bits and holders. The female CTLNKMS100F receives the bit, while the male CTLNKMS100M fits into a holder.
Which driver should I use for screws near 50 in-lb?
That value sits far above this tool’s range. The CTLNKMS80F, which covers 4 to 80 in-lb, is a better match.
