Snap-on TE25FLA Torqometer, U.S. Light Signal Dial Wrench, 3/8″ Drive, 25 ft-lb

Description

Cashew processing is a large export trade in Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai and Long An. Inside each plant, shelling machines, peelers, roasters and graders run long shifts. Their blades, rollers and guards come off often for sharpening and cleaning. The Snap-on TE25FLA Torqometer helps fitters put them back, and a lamp flashes at the target.

Why a lamp helps in a cashew plant

Shelling halls are loud, and dust and shell oil cloud the air. So a fitter bent over a machine may not see the dial face clearly. The TE25FLA has a built-in light that flashes when the targeted torque arrives. Then the needle still shows the reading, so the value can go into the shift log.

Machine parts for the Snap-on TE25FLA Torqometer

• Shelling blade holders and cutter frame bolts.
• Peeler roller and brush shaft bearing bolts.
• Roaster drum door, fan and burner bracket bolts.
• Grader screen frames and sorter brackets, where the maker lists a value.

Machine makers publish their own figures, and blade gaps still need feeler gauges. Therefore take each value from the manual, and use the TE25FLA only for joints with a printed number.

Snap-on figures for the TE25FLA

Snap-on prints this row in its US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy table in catalog CAT1500i. The same page states that certificate of calibration models add a C suffix. So the certificate model is TE25FLAC, while the TE25FLA title names none.

Range and the 2% band

Lost in HCM lists this wrench under US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. Snap-on keeps that grade within 2% of reading from 20% of full scale up. For the TE25FLA, the band thus starts at 5 ft-lb. Also, 25 ft-lb is about 34 N·m, which covers many small machine bolts. For inch-pound specs, the 300 in-lb TE25LA reads in finer steps.

Shell oil, dust and care

Cashew shell liquid is sticky and harsh, so it can mark a tool. Wipe the TE25FLA after each job, and keep it in its PB9 case away from the shelling floor. Snap-on rates its Torqometer wrenches for 0 to 100 °F, so keep this one clear of the roaster walls. Also never use it to free a stuck bolt. In addition, plan periodic recalibration.

Cashew line FAQ for the TE25FLA

Which code adds a calibration certificate?

Snap-on’s catalog adds a C for that, so the code is TE25FLAC. Lost in HCM can confirm whether it can supply that version.

Can it hold a peak reading?

Snap-on describes its signal models by the flashing lamp. For a held second needle, the follow-up TE25FFUA is the matching choice.

Is it safe near the roasters?

Keep it within 0 to 100 °F, per Snap-on’s operating range. Allow hot machine parts to cool before any pull.
