Description
On an assembly line, the best torque setting is one that stays put all shift. The Snap-on QC1P60 torque wrench body works on that idea. It is a preset QC series body: you set it once to a value between 10 and 60 in-lb, and it stays dedicated to that value. It also takes J-shank interchangeable heads.
How a preset body like the QC1P60 differs
An adjustable body has a scale that the user turns to each new target. A preset body, by contrast, keeps one value, and Snap-on aims that design at repetitive assembly. Your tool crib or calibration lab sets that value on a torque tester, following Snap-on’s instructions. After that, the operator only needs to pull until the click.
Snap-on QC1P60 torque wrench body details
| Type | Preset |
|---|---|
| Range | 10-60 in-lb (1.1-6.8 N·m) |
| Shank | J (0.425 in) |
| Length | 6 in |
| Accuracy | ±4% clockwise, ±6% counterclockwise, 20-100% of full scale |
| Calibration certificate | None on preset bodies, per Snap-on |
Note that 20% of 60 in-lb is 12 in-lb. So pick a set value of 12 in-lb or more if you want to stay inside Snap-on’s accuracy statement.
Pairing the QC1P60 with a head
The body’s job is to measure, while the head’s job is to reach the part. Pair the QC1P60 with a J head that fits the joint, such as:
- A 1/4 in square drive head for small sockets.
- An open-end head for tube nuts on gauges and sensors.
- A box-end head where the bolt sits close to a wall.
With standard J heads, the pin-to-fastener spacing is 2.50 in. If you choose a head with another spacing, then follow Snap-on’s head-length instructions when you set the value.
Where the QC1P60 fits
- Terminal screws and studs in electrical sub-assembly.
- Probe and sensor fittings in instrument lines.
- Small cover screws on motors and drives.
At 6 in, it is the shortest body in Snap-on’s QC preset table, so it also suits benches where space is tight.
