Description
This page lists the Snap-on TE250L Torqometer under its plain code, TORQOMETER U.S. Light Signal – TE250L, with no chart in the name. Its twin on this site is the TE250LC Light Signal wrench listed with Chart. Both codes point to one row in Snap-on’s catalog, so the dial and drive stay the same. What differs is the paperwork that ships with the tool.
Plain TE250L or charted TE250LC
Snap-on’s CAT1500i prints the TE250L in its US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy group. A note under that table says the wrenches in the chart come without a certificate of calibration. The same page adds that a C on the stock number orders a certificate model. So the TE250LC adds a document, while the TE250L keeps the price to the tool alone.

Who should buy the Snap-on TE250L Torqometer
A plant with its own torque bench often checks every new wrench before release. For that team, the plain code makes sense, because the lab writes its own record anyway. Likewise, a site that sends new tools to a contracted outside lab gains little from a factory document. In both cases, the money saved can go toward sockets, adaptors or a spare wrench.
When the TE250LC is the safer pick
- An audit trail must start on delivery day, with no gap before first use.
- Incoming inspection holds any gauge that arrives without a document.
- The wrench goes straight to a line, and there is no time for a lab trip.
Snap-on TE250L Torqometer figures
The catalog row gives a 1/2 inch square drive and a 250 ft-lb scale in 5 ft-lb steps. The wrench measures 23-3/4 inches long and 2-3/4 inches wide. Its head depth of 1-3/8 inches leaves out the drive, and Snap-on lists a PB8A storage case. As a Light Signal model, it has a built-in light that flashes when the pull reaches the target. For reference, 250 ft-lb works out to about 339 N·m.
Snap-on’s UK brochure rates Standard Torqometers within ±2% of reading from 20% of full scale to full scale. On this wrench, that band therefore starts at 50 ft-lb. So plan your usual TE250L joints well above that mark.

TE250L buyer FAQ
Can our lab certify the TE250L after delivery?
Yes. Your own lab or an outside lab can check it and issue its own report. However, the Snap-on certificate model is the TE250LC.
Does the plain code change how the lamp works?
No. Both codes share one catalog row, so the light signal behaves in the same way.
Can I use it to free a stuck bolt?
No. Keep the TE250L away from seized nuts; Snap-on says a Torqometer is not a breaker tool. It also says never to exceed the rated torque.
