Description
Lost in HCM sells the Snap-on TE50FUA torque wrench as a U.S. Follow-up Torqometer under its plain code. The same tool also appears as the TE50FUAC with Chart. Both read up to 600 in-lb on a 3/8 inch drive, with two needles on the dial. The table below shows where they part ways.
Comparing the TE50FUA with its chart twin
| Item | TE50FUA | TE50FUAC |
|---|---|---|
| Lost in HCM title | U.S. Follow-up | U.S. Follow-up (with Chart) |
| Snap-on catalog note | Chart models exclude a certificate of calibration | C suffix marks a certificate of calibration model |
| Drive, range, dial | 3/8 in, 600 in-lb, two needles | Same catalog row |
| Typical fit | In-house checks, spares, repair benches | Audit trail from day one |
In short, the hardware matches, and only the paperwork differs. So the right code depends on who records the wrench first.
Where the plain Snap-on TE50FUA torque wrench fits
A plant with its own torque tester can check the wrench on arrival and log it. Also, a backup wrench that waits in the crib for breakdowns rarely needs a factory document. Repair benches that cross-check tools against a master wrench follow the same logic. In each case, the Snap-on TE50FUA torque wrench delivers the dial without the extra item.
Where the TE50FUAC makes more sense
On the other hand, some customers inspect torque records at every supplier audit. If a new station must open before your lab can check it, the C code avoids a gap. Similarly, a procedure that holds any gauge without a document points to the chart version.
Snap-on TE50FUA torque wrench specs recap
Snap-on’s CAT1500i row lists 600 in-lb in 10 in-lb increments for the TE50FUA. The wrench measures 12-1/2 inches long and 2-11/16 inches wide, with a 1-1/4 inch head depth that excludes the drive. Snap-on pairs it with a PB9 storage case. Meanwhile, the same row holds the TE50A Basic and the TE50LA signal model.
Choosing the 600 in-lb scale
At the top, 600 in-lb equals 50 ft-lb, or roughly 68 N·m. However, the Snap-on UK brochure cautions against working below 20% of full scale, which here means 120 in-lb. Therefore the TE50FUA suits joints from that point up to the top of the dial. For lighter specs, the TE25FUA or TE12FUA may fit better.
