Description
The Snap-on TE50FLA Torqometer is the plain Light Signal code in Lost in HCM’s range, titled “TORQOMETER U.S. Light Signal”. Its paired listing, the TE50FLAC with Chart, names the C code of the same 3/8 inch, 50 ft-lb wrench. Start here if you are weighing documents against budget.
One wrench, two ways to buy the TE50FLA
Snap-on’s dial table notes that its chart wrenches arrive without a certificate of calibration. It adds that buyers can order a certificate model with a C suffix. Lost in HCM lists that C code as the TE50FLAC “with Chart” and leaves the chart undescribed. Thus the hardware matches, and only the documents differ.
Spare and second-shift wrenches
A night shift often needs its own copy of a day-shift tool. If your team verifies new wrenches on a bench, the plain TE50FLA joins the line after one check. Similarly, a training room or repair bench rarely needs paperwork on arrival. On the other hand, some stations fall inside a customer’s audit scope. For those, the TE50FLAC brings its document from day one, and so does a wrench for a new plant with no tester yet.
Snap-on TE50FLA Torqometer in numbers
- 3/8 in square drive
- 50 ft-lb scale in 1 ft-lb steps
- 12-1/2 in long, 2-11/16 in wide
- 1-1/4 in head depth without the drive
- PB9 storage case
- Light flashes at the targeted torque
The Snap-on UK brochure lists ±2% of reading for Standard Torqometers between 20% of full scale and full scale. So the TE50FLA band starts at 10 ft-lb.
TE50FLA or TE50LA: foot-pounds against inch-pounds
Snap-on builds a second signal wrench on the same 12-1/2 inch frame. The TE50LA reads 600 in-lb in 10 in-lb steps, which equals the same 50 ft-lb top. Therefore choose by the unit on your drawings. If specs arrive in ft-lb, the TE50FLA avoids a conversion at the station.
Care and quote for the Snap-on TE50FLA Torqometer
Keep the wrench in its case between shifts, and use it only between 0 and 100 °F. Also, stay within the rated torque. For the price, Lost in HCM supplies the TE50FLA in Vietnam and answers each request. So request a TE50FLA quote from Lost in HCM, browse our torque wrench listings, or contact SMK Vietnam.
TE50FLA spare-wrench questions
Where does the 2% band begin on the TE50FLA?
At 10 ft-lb, which is 20% of full scale. Below that, a smaller wrench gives a better reading.
How do I convert an N·m spec for this wrench?
Divide the N·m value by about 1.356 to get ft-lb. For example, 40 N·m works out to roughly 29.5 ft-lb.
Can I use the TE50FLA to loosen a seized bolt?
No. Snap-on warns against using its Torqometers to break fasteners loose, so use a breaker bar instead.
