Description
Laser alignment means little if the motor feet shift when the hold-down bolts go tight. So reliability crews torque base bolts in stages and watch for movement. The Snap-on TE352A dial wrench supports that routine with a 3/4 inch drive and a 350 ft-lb scale in 5 ft-lb steps.
After alignment, before start-up
Pumps, fans and gearboxes in water, chemical and food plants sit on bolted bases. Fitters bring each foot bolt up in passes and then re-check the alignment readings. With the TE352A, every pass shows on the dial, so the crew can tighten all feet to matching values. As a result, a foot that behaves differently from the rest stands out early.

Leverage and scale of the TE352A
At 29-7/8 inches long, the TE352A gives a fitter enough leverage to reach full scale with two hands. Its top value of 350 ft-lb equals about 475 N·m, and each 5 ft-lb mark is close to 6.8 N·m. In addition, the 3/4 inch drive takes heavy-duty sockets for large base and coupling bolts. However, keep a clear swing arc, because a long wrench needs room to pull square to the bolt.
Which model in the TE352 row?
Snap-on offers the same frame in three ways. The TE352A shows one live needle. The TE352FUA adds a peak needle for records, and the TE352LA flashes a light at a preset value. For alignment work, the basic dial suits the job well, since the fitter watches each bolt anyway.

TE352A questions
Does the TE352A come with a case?
The catalog leaves the storage case column blank for this row. So confirm the packaging with Lost in HCM before delivery.
Can I free seized base bolts with the TE352A?
No. Snap-on warns against breaking fasteners loose with dial wrenches. Use a breaker bar first, and then switch to the TE352A for the final torque.
What if a coupling bolt needs more than 350 ft-lb?
The TE602A in the same 3/4 inch family reads to 600 ft-lb on a 40-7/8 inch frame.
