Description
This listing covers the Snap-on TCR175C torque comparator, the code that Snap-on supplies with a certificate of calibration. The tester itself matches the TCR175 without a certificate, so your choice comes down to paperwork, not hardware. This page helps you decide which code belongs on the purchase order.
Certificate or no certificate: what changes with the TCR175C
Snap-on’s CAT1500i catalog prints two codes for this comparator. The plain TCR175 comes without a certificate of calibration, while the TCR175C adds one. Everything else stays the same, from the drive to the capacity and the scale. So the C suffix buys a document on delivery day, and nothing more.
When the Snap-on TCR175C torque comparator is the better buy
- Your quality system wants a certificate on every measuring device before first use.
- A customer or third-party audit is close, and the tester must show a record from day one.
- Incoming inspection logs a document before any tool enters the crib.
- The comparator will act as the reference for your wrench checks, so its own status needs to sit on file.
When the TCR175 makes more sense
Some plants send every new tester to an outside lab before use. In that case, a factory certificate adds cost but little value, because the lab issues its own report anyway. Likewise, a second comparator for a satellite workshop may only need a cross-check against the first. For those cases, the plain TCR175 keeps the budget lower.
TCR175C specs in brief
The catalog gives the Snap-on TCR175C torque comparator a 1/2 inch female square drive input. It reads up to 175 ft-lb in 5 ft-lb graduations, or 230 N·m in 10 N·m steps. Snap-on rates it within ±2% of reading from 20% of full scale to full scale, in both directions. In addition, an exercise adaptor lets you break in a click wrench before the test, as the B107-300 standard describes.
Keeping the record useful
A certificate only helps if someone can find it. So scan it on arrival, link it to the asset number of the TCR175C, and note its date in your recall list. Snap-on also states that periodic recalibration checks keep a tester accurate. Then set the next outside check in the same system that tracks your wrenches. Finally, never load the comparator past its rated torque.

TCR175C buyer questions
Is the TCR175C a different tester from the TCR175?
No. Snap-on lists one comparator under both codes, and the C code simply adds a certificate of calibration.
Can I check 3/8 inch wrenches on it?
Yes, with an A2A or GAF2A adaptor, according to Snap-on. So ask Lost in HCM to add the adaptor to your quote if you need one.
Does the certificate replace future calibration?
No. Snap-on calls for periodic recalibration checks on the tester itself. Therefore book outside checks on the cycle your quality plan sets.
