Description
Golf resorts in Da Nang, Phan Thiet and Phu Quoc run fleets of electric carts, and many campuses and industrial parks now run small electric shuttles too. These vehicles look simple, yet their battery straps, brakes and steering joints still need a set torque. The Snap-on TE25LAC Torqometer covers that range with an inch-pound dial and a signal lamp. Its Lost in HCM listing also mentions a chart.
Snap-on TE25LAC Torqometer on the cart fleet
- Battery hold-down and tray bolts.
- Brake backing plate and caliper bracket bolts within the dial.
- Steering column, tie rod and seat frame fasteners.
- Roof strut and windscreen bracket bolts.
Battery terminal values vary by maker, so check the battery label first. If the value sits inside the TE25LAC dial, the wrench can confirm it. Also cover nearby terminals before any metal tool goes near a live pack.
Why a lamp helps in the cart barn
Cart barns are often dim, and techs work bent over a low chassis. Snap-on’s Signal models have a built-in light that flashes when the wrench reaches the targeted torque. So the tech can watch the bolt and the lamp at once, instead of twisting to read a dial. The TE25LAC also keeps its dial, while a supervisor can still read the value afterward.
Row behind the TE25LAC
| Item | TE25LA (CAT1500i p.333) |
|---|---|
| Square drive | 3/8 in |
| Range | 300 in-lb |
| Increments | 5 in-lb |
| Length | 9-29/32 in |
| Width | 2-11/16 in |
| Head depth | 1-1/4 in |
| Storage case | PB9 |
This listing ends in C, and Snap-on’s U.S. table says a C suffix orders the certificate of calibration model. Thus the TE25LAC is the C form of the TE25LA. Because the Lost in HCM title says with Chart, confirm what that document covers before you order.
Picking the right band
Lost in HCM files the TE25LAC under US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. Snap-on’s Standard grade covers the span from 20% of full scale up to the top, so here it begins at 60 in-lb. Below that, for example on light trim screws, a smaller dial or a torque driver fits better. Above it, wheel lug nuts may call for a larger wrench, depending on the cart maker’s value.
Keeping the Snap-on TE25LAC Torqometer ready
Store the wrench in its PB9 case, and keep it off battery tops, where acid residue can collect. In addition, wipe off grass clippings and sand after each fleet day. Never use it to break a seized bolt loose. Then plan periodic recalibration with an outside lab, since Snap-on says recalibration is necessary to hold accuracy.

Cart fleet questions about the TE25LAC
What does 300 in-lb equal in other units?
It equals 25 ft-lb, or about 34 N·m. The TE25LAC sits in Snap-on’s U.S. reading table.
Does the lamp need a battery?
The source does not describe how the lamp is powered. Ask Lost in HCM before you plan spares.
Can I use it on cart wheel nuts?
Only if the cart maker’s value falls inside the dial. Check the service manual first, then pick the size.
