Description
Which drive does your input wrench use? That one question separates the Snap-on MTMB1990 torque multiplier from most of its siblings. While many manual units take a 1/2 in input, this one takes a 3/4 in square. It then delivers up to 1,990 ft-lb through a 1 in square output, with a bar style reaction arm.

Input drive: the detail that sets this model apart
Heavy maintenance teams often own 3/4 in click wrenches already, because they use them on truck and machine bolts every day. With a 3/4 in input, the MTMB1990 accepts those wrenches directly. So there is no adapter between the wrench and the gearbox, and no extra joint that can add play. In addition, crews can keep one familiar wrench for both direct and multiplied work.
The Snap-on MTMB1990 torque multiplier beside its bar style siblings
| Model | Input | Output | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| MTMB740 | 1/2 in | 3/4 in | 740 ft-lb |
| MTMB1990 | 3/4 in | 1 in | 1,990 ft-lb |
| MTMB2200 | 1/2 in | 1 in | 2,200 ft-lb |
The two larger units sit close in capacity. Therefore the choice between them usually comes down to the input wrench you prefer, rather than the rating alone.
Heavy joints in mining, steel and presses
- Haul truck and loader wheel, frame and final drive bolts.
- Column base and splice bolts on steel buildings and racks.
- Press, shear and stamping line foundation bolts.
- Large gearbox, coupling and mill bearing bolts.
On the MTMB1990, keep every target below 1,990 ft-lb, which is roughly 2,700 N·m. For joints above that, a higher-rated unit gives a safer margin.
Pairing the right 3/4 in input wrench
First, find the gear ratio and correction factor that Snap-on marks on the gearbox. Then divide your target by the effective ratio. Finally, pick a 3/4 in click wrench whose scale puts that input value near its middle, not at either end.
Field care for the Snap-on MTMB1990 torque multiplier
Rest the reaction bar only on strong, fixed points, such as a neighboring nut or a frame lug. Never hold it by hand. After each job, wipe off mud and grease, then inspect the bar and the output square for wear. Also leave stuck bolts to a breaker bar, because impact loads wear the gear train. Then plan an independent calibration check for the multiplier and its input wrench at a fixed interval.

Which is stronger, the MTMB1990 or the MTMB2200?
The MTMB2200 has the higher rating at 2,200 ft-lb. However, it takes a 1/2 in input wrench.
