Description
Here you are looking at the Snap-on TE352LA Torqometer in its plain form, TORQOMETER U.S. Light Signal – TE352LA. A separate page covers the TE352LAC, the same 3/4 inch wrench listed with Chart. Snap-on gives both one catalog row. Hence the tool in your hand stays the same, and only the delivery paperwork changes.
Which TE352LA version is this?
This is the code without the C. Snap-on’s CAT1500i note says wrenches in its chart ship without a certificate of calibration. In that catalog, a trailing C marks the certificate model. So the TE352LA arrives as the tool alone, while the TE352LAC adds the item Lost in HCM calls a chart.
Four buying cases for the Snap-on TE352LA Torqometer
Case 1: the audit trail starts today
Suppose a customer audit lands next month, and every gauge needs a record from first use. In that case, the TE352LAC fits better, because its document arrives with the wrench.
Case 2: receiving holds tools without papers
Some incoming inspection teams quarantine any measuring tool that lacks a document. If yours works that way, order the charted code to avoid a hold.
Case 3: your lab verifies new tools
A plant with a torque tester above 350 ft-lb can check the wrench itself. Then the plain TE352LA makes sense, since the lab writes the first record.
Case 4: the budget is tight
When funds run short, the plain code leaves room for sockets or a second wrench. However, include any outside lab fee in the comparison.

The wrench sits in the US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy table. According to Snap-on’s UK brochure, that grade applies from 20% of full scale, which is 70 ft-lb here. Also, 350 ft-lb is roughly 475 N·m. The light flashes when the pull reaches your target, so the operator can keep an eye on the socket.
Looking after the TE352LA
Store it flat in a padded drawer, since Snap-on lists no case for this model. Next, keep it within 0 to 100 °F, the operating range in the catalog. Finally, stay under the rated torque, and plan periodic recalibration, as Snap-on advises.
Ordering the TE352LA
Lost in HCM supplies Snap-on dial wrenches in Vietnam and quotes each order. Name TE352LA on the request, so the plain code ships. Then request a quote from Lost in HCM, see more torque wrenches, or contact SMK Vietnam.
TE352LA FAQ
What does the light do on the TE352LA?
Snap-on describes a built-in light that flashes when the wrench reaches the target torque.
Is there a version with two needles?
Yes. The same catalog row lists the TE352FUA follow-up model, next to the TE352A basic model.
Can I read N·m on the TE352LA?
No. The dial reads ft-lb. Multiply a reading by about 1.356 to get N·m.
