Description
Hospital beds, stretchers and patient lifts move people every hour of the day. Their casters, side rails and lift arms also rely on bolts that must not slip. The Snap-on TE25FUAC torque wrench gives a biomedical workshop a measured way to return those bolts to spec. It reads in inch-pounds and uses two needles.
Why bed frames suit a two-needle dial
A bed technician often works on the floor, under a frame, with the dial half out of sight. So a clear record after the pull matters. On the TE25FUAC, one needle marks the targeted torque and the other shows the torque achieved. Then the tech can slide out, compare the two and write the number in the asset log.
Catalog row for the TE25FUA
| Item | TE25FUA (CAT1500i p.333) |
|---|---|
| Square drive | 3/8 in |
| Range | 300 in-lb |
| Increments | 5 in-lb |
| Length | 9-29/32 in |
| Width / head depth | 2-11/16 in / 1-1/4 in |
| Storage case | PB9 |
These values come from the US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy table in Snap-on catalog CAT1500i. According to that catalog, a C added to the stock number orders the certificate of calibration model. Lost in HCM’s title for the TE25FUAC says with Chart, so confirm what that paper covers.
Ward equipment for the Snap-on TE25FUAC torque wrench
- Caster stem and brake bolts on beds and stretchers.
- Side rail pivot and latch bracket screws.
- Lift arm and spreader bar bolts on patient hoists.
- Frame bolts on wheelchairs and procedure chairs.
Still, the equipment maker’s service manual sets every value. Also follow the hospital’s own rules for cleaning and tagging gear.
Reading the 2% band
Lost in HCM files this TE25FUAC under US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. Snap-on’s standard grade means within 2% of reading, from 20% of full scale to full scale. On a 300 in-lb dial, the band thus starts at 60 in-lb. In addition, 300 in-lb equals 25 ft-lb, or about 34 N·m, which helps when a manual uses metric units.
Hygiene and care
Wipe the TE25FUAC with a cleaner your infection control team approves, and keep liquid out of the dial. Then store it in its PB9 case in the workshop, rather than on the ward. Never use it to break a seized caster bolt loose. Finally, send it to an outside lab for recalibration on a fixed cycle.

Biomedical workshop FAQ
Why choose a dial over a click wrench for beds?
A dial shows the torque as it builds, and the second needle aids the record. That matters when you work under a frame.
Does the chart equal a calibration certificate?
The source does not say. Snap-on ties the C suffix to a certificate, so ask Lost in HCM.
Can it read N·m?
No. The TE25FUA row lists inch-pounds only. So to convert, multiply by about 0.113.
