Description
Lost in HCM lists the Snap-on TE25FUA dial wrench under its plain code, as a U.S. Follow-up Torqometer. If your receiving rules call for a chart on arrival, see the TE25FUAC listing with Chart. Otherwise, the two share a 3/8 inch drive, a 300 in-lb scale and two needles. This guide explains when the plain code makes sense.
Plain code first: Snap-on TE25FUA dial wrench versus TE25FUAC
Snap-on’s catalog table for these wrenches carries a short rule. Tools in the chart ship without a certificate of calibration, and a C suffix adds one. So the TE25FUA is the base listing, and the TE25FUAC adds the document. Nothing in the catalog row changes between them, from length to case.
A receiving plan built around an outside lab
Many FDI plants contract an external lab for every new measuring tool. Under that plan, the Snap-on TE25FUA dial wrench follows a simple path:
- Lost in HCM delivers the plain wrench to your store.
- Your team then sends it to the contracted lab, together with other new gauges.
- The lab returns its report, and you file it under the asset number.
- After that, the tool goes to the line, and the recall clock starts.
Because the lab writes its own record, a factory document would duplicate effort. As a result, the plain code keeps budget free for more stations.
When the TE25FUAC chart version wins
Lab queues can stretch, especially before a customer audit. If the wrench must work on day one, the chart version may shorten that wait, provided your procedure accepts it. Likewise, a remote site far from any lab gains from a document in the box.
Snap-on TE25FUA dial wrench data
CAT1500i gives the TE25FUA a 3/8 inch square drive and a range of 300 in-lb in 5 in-lb steps. That top value equals 25 ft-lb, or about 34 N·m. The wrench is 9-29/32 inches long and 2-11/16 inches wide. In addition, its head depth is 1-1/4 inches without the drive, and Snap-on lists a PB9 storage case. The row also names the TE25A Basic and the TE25LA signal model.
Shift habits for the TE25FUA
Snap-on’s two needles show the targeted torque and the torque achieved side by side. Keep the working range near mid-scale, as the Snap-on UK brochure advises. Also respect the 0 to 100 °F operating range that Snap-on states for the family. Finally, return the TE25FUA to its case after each shift, and never use it to loosen fasteners.
Next step: a TE25FUA quote
Lost in HCM supplies Snap-on Torqometers in Vietnam and prepares each quote. Ask for TE25FUA without the C, so the plain version arrives. Then request a quote from Lost in HCM, look through more torque wrenches, or contact SMK Vietnam.
Outside lab questions on the TE25FUA
Will my outside lab accept a TE25FUA?
Labs check the wrench itself, not its order code. So ask your lab whether it covers 3/8 inch dial wrenches up to 300 in-lb.
How do I convert TE25FUA readings to N·m?
The dial reads in-lb only. So multiply a reading by 0.113 for an approximate N·m value.
Why choose the two-needle TE25FUA over a Basic dial?
One needle shows the target while the other tracks the torque achieved. Thus the operator spots a miss without any math.
