Description
The Snap-on TE25FAC Torqometer is the code that Lost in HCM sells as the U.S. Basic dial wrench “with Chart”. Its plain twin is the TE25FA Basic dial wrench, which has no chart in its title. Both read up to 25 ft-lb on a 3/8 inch drive. So this page focuses on the letters in the code, not on the steel.
Decoding the Snap-on TE25FAC Torqometer stock number
In fact, codes in this family sit very close together in the catalog. Here is how the TE25FAC relates to its neighbors:
- TE25FA is the base code. Snap-on prints it in the US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy table at 25 ft-lb.
- TE25A, one row above, reads 300 in-lb instead. So keep the F on your order.
- The two-needle version of this scale carries the code TE25FFUA. Therefore the F in TE25FAC does not mean follow-up.
- The final C, per the table note, is how Snap-on marks certificate of calibration models.
Snap-on TE25FAC Torqometer or bare TE25FA?
Both codes share one dial, one drive and one case. However, they suit different buying plans. Lost in HCM adds the words “with Chart” to the TE25FAC title, and Snap-on links the C to a certificate. As a result, the choice depends on the record your site wants at receipt.
Good reasons to take the TE25FAC
- A customer audit asks for a document per torque tool from the first shift.
- Your tool crib cannot issue a gauge until a record sits in the file.
- No local bench can check 3/8 inch wrenches before a launch date.
Good reasons to keep the plain code
For example, plants with their own tester often verify every new tool anyway. Likewise, a training wrench for apprentices rarely needs a factory document. In both cases, the TE25FA leaves more budget for sockets and bits than the TE25FAC.
TE25FAC size and fit
Snap-on gives the TE25FA row a 3/8 inch square drive and 1/2 ft-lb increments. Also, the wrench measures 9-29/32 inches long and 2-11/16 inches wide. Its head depth is 1-1/4 inches, not counting the drive, and Snap-on lists a PB9 storage case. As a Basic model, the TE25FAC has one needle that shows the torque achieved.
Fine steps for small joints
A 25 ft-lb scale with 1/2 ft-lb marks suits small engine, pump and bracket bolts. Even so, readings near the bottom of a dial deserve care. The Snap-on UK torque brochure warns against using wrenches below 20% of full scale. For the Snap-on TE25FAC Torqometer, that point sits at 5 ft-lb. Therefore pick another size if most of your specs fall far from the middle of this scale.

TE25FAC code questions
Does the F in TE25FAC mean follow-up?
No. Snap-on lists the follow-up model of this scale as TE25FFUA. The TE25FAC is a Basic model with one needle.
What is 25 ft-lb in N·m on the TE25FAC?
The dial reads ft-lb only. Its top value of 25 ft-lb works out to about 34 N·m.
Will the chart affect how the wrench reads?
No. The TE25FAC and TE25FA share one catalog row, so the dial and the scale stay identical.
