Description
Many screws in ECUs, small motors and home appliances need a value between one and ten newton-metres. That band sits right where the Snap-on QC1ETT100 torque tester works. It reads 10 to 100 in-lb through a 1/4 in square drive, so line staff can check small wrenches and drivers before a shift starts.
Reading the scale on a metric drawing
Snap-on gives the QC1ETT100 metric range as 11.3 to 113 dN·m. One decinewton-metre is a tenth of a newton-metre. So the same span equals about 1.13 to 11.3 N·m. The display is dual scale, which lets a technician switch between in-lb and dN·m. As a result, teams that work from US and Japanese drawings can use one unit.
What the Snap-on QC1ETT100 torque tester checks
- 1/4 in drive click wrenches and preset T-handles.
- Adjustable torque screwdrivers with a suitable bit adapter.
- Non-impacting electric and air drivers, when you add a joint rate simulator.
- Tools that tighten clockwise or counterclockwise, since it reads in both directions.
Impact drivers do not suit this tester, because Snap-on rates it for non-impacting power tools only.
Setting it up at the workstation
Snap-on built the QC ETT range, including the QC1ETT100, so operators can test tools without leaving their station. The integral transducer and sturdy housing allow mounting in almost any position, either on a wall or on a bench. In addition, a raised neck keeps the display in view while a wrench sits on the drive. Therefore pick a height where operators can see the reading and pull the tool at a natural angle.
Track or Peak for small tools
Peak mode holds the highest value, so it suits click wrenches and preset drivers. Track mode follows the live load, which helps when you study how a power driver ramps up. Then use auto or manual reset to clear the display between pulls.
A simple daily check with the QC1ETT100
- First, zero the display and choose Peak mode.
- Next, pull each wrench three times at its set value.
- Then compare the readings with your tolerance and tag any tool that fails.
- Finally, log the results so QA can trace each tool.
Power and storage
The Snap-on QC1ETT100 torque tester runs on rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries, and Snap-on includes a charger. According to the Snap-on brochure, each unit also comes with a power adaptor cord, a socket adaptor and a PB1ETT plastic storage case. Even so, a tester needs its own periodic check against a reference standard, so add the QC1ETT100 to your calibration plan.

QC1ETT100 questions
What is the QC1ETT100 range in N·m?
Snap-on lists 11.3 to 113 dN·m, which is about 1.13 to 11.3 N·m.
Will it test an impact driver?
No. It suits hand tools and non-impacting power tools. Power tools also need a joint rate simulator.
Does the QC1ETT100 need a bench, or can it go on a wall?
Either works. Snap-on designed it for wall or bench mounting at the workstation.
