Description
Before a new bolt, coating or lubricant goes into production, someone has to test it. The Snap-on TE602FUAC Torqometer gives an engineering lab a simple way to log those trials. It is a U.S.-reading follow-up dial wrench, so the peak stays on the face after each pull. Its Lost in HCM title adds a chart.
Research logs with the Snap-on TE602FUAC Torqometer
Joint studies need the same pull, many times, with the result written down each time. The follow-up needle helps, because it stays at the highest reading until you reset it. As a result, the engineer can finish the pull, step back and copy the peak into the test sheet. Then a quick reset readies the wrench for the next sample.
Trials that suit a follow-up dial
- Comparing dry, oiled and coated threads on the same bolt grade.
- Checking how hardened washers change the torque a joint takes.
- Residual torque checks on test joints after vibration or heat cycles.
- Training lab staff to pull at a slow, even rate.
Size of the TE602FUA family
Snap-on’s CAT1500i dial table lists the TE602FUA with a 3/4-inch drive and a 600 ft-lb U.S. scale. The dial reads in 10 ft-lb steps, and the listed length is 40-7/8 inches. Snap-on also names the PB39 storage case for this size. Moreover, the catalog says a C on the stock number orders the certified version, which matches the TE602FUAC code.
Accuracy grade for test work
Lost in HCM lists this model in its US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy group. Snap-on’s tables define that grade as within 2% of reading, from 20% of full scale to full scale, clockwise and counterclockwise. So lab targets on the TE602FUAC should sit above about 120 ft-lb. For smaller test joints, choose a lower-range Torqometer rather than reading near the bottom of this one.
Good lab practice
Pull at a steady rate, because a jerk can push the follow-up needle past the true peak. Also read the dial straight on, to avoid parallax. Keep the Snap-on TE602FUAC Torqometer for lab work only, store it in its case, and calibrate it on the cycle your quality manual sets.

TE602FUAC lab FAQ
Why use a dial wrench for joint research instead of an electronic one?
An electronic wrench can store data, but a dial needs no batteries or software. For simple peak logs, the follow-up needle on the TE602FUAC does the job.
How should I log each test?
Record the bolt, the lubricant, the peak from the follow-up needle and the operator. Then reset the needle before the next sample.
Does Snap-on make a newton meter version of this size?
Snap-on lists newton meter and kg·m Torqometers in other tables. Ask Lost in HCM which code matches the TE602FUAC size in your units.
