Description
Small fasteners fail quietly when torque drifts. The Snap-on QC1P100 torque wrench body guards against that on light assembly work. It is a preset QC series body that holds one value between 15 and 100 in-lb, or about 1.7 to 11.3 N·m. Snap-on lists an 8 in length and a J shank, so it takes the compact J heads.
For reference, the image shows another body from the Snap-on QC preset series, not this exact model.
Key data for the Snap-on QC1P100 torque wrench body
- Type: preset, with no scale on the handle.
- Range: 15-100 in-lb, printed in the brochure as 17-113 dN·m.
- Shank: J, 0.425 in.
- Length: 8 in.
- QC series accuracy: ±4% clockwise and ±6% counterclockwise, from 20% of full scale to full scale.
Reading the QC1P100 dN·m figures
The brochure uses decinewton-meters for the small bodies. One dN·m equals 0.1 N·m, so 113 dN·m is simply 11.3 N·m. Meanwhile, the accuracy band begins at 20 in-lb, since that is 20% of full scale. Values from 15 to 20 in-lb sit below the stated band, so the smaller QC1P60 may suit them better.
Heads reserved for the QC1P100
Snap-on’s torque brochure marks some heads in its tables with a note. That note limits them to the QC1P100 and QC1I200 bodies, while other heads suit every listed body. So check the head table before you order, because a marked head belongs on this body or its adjustable partner. In addition, standard QJD ratcheting heads come in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in drive for J bodies.
QC1P100 jobs on electronics and appliance lines
- Terminal screws on relays, breakers and contactors.
- Sensor and connector mounts on automotive wiring modules.
- Small brass fittings on gas valves and instrument tubing, using an open-end head.
- Cover screws on motors, pumps and compressor housings.
Keeping a QC1P100 accurate
Light bodies react badly to rough handling. Therefore, store each one in a rack, never loose in a drawer with heavier tools. Also avoid using the body to break fasteners loose, because a hard reverse pull can disturb the setting. Then confirm the value on a torque tester at a set interval, and pull any body that reads outside your limit.

QC1P100 buyer questions
Is 100 in-lb about 8.3 ft-lb?
Yes. Divide in-lb by 12, so 100 in-lb works out to roughly 8.3 ft-lb.
Does the QC1P100 take J or Y heads?
It takes J heads. Snap-on’s preset body table lists a J shank of 0.425 in for this model.
Why choose a preset body for small screws?
Operators cannot change the value at the station. As a result, every screw gets the same torque on every shift.
