Snap-on TE803LC Torqometer, U.S. Light Signal Dial Torque Wrench, 800 ft-lb, 1″ Drive

Description

Port cranes, reach stackers and yard machines often get their bolts checked at night, when the machines are free. The Snap-on TE803LC Torqometer suits those shifts, because a lamp flashes at the target. It is a U.S.-reading Light Signal dial wrench, and Lost in HCM lists it with a chart. So the crew does not have to read fine marks by headlamp.

Night work with the Snap-on TE803LC Torqometer

At night, glare and shadow make a dial hard to read from an angle. Snap-on’s signal models solve that with a built-in light that flashes when torque hits the target. Then the fitter stops pulling and reads the needle on the Snap-on TE803LC Torqometer up close. In addition, a second crew member can see the flash from a few steps away and confirm the bolt.

Size and reach

These values come from Snap-on’s CAT1500i dial wrench table. The catalog also says a C at the end of the stock number orders the certified version, which fits the TE803LC code.

Yard jobs for an 800 ft-lb signal wrench

• Slewing and boom pin bolts on mobile and gantry cranes.
• Wheel and axle bolts on reach stackers and terminal tractors.
• Mounting bolts on spreaders, hoists and gearboxes.

Each of these jobs fits the 1-inch drive of the TE803LC, and its long body gives the leverage that heavy bolts need.

Heat, rain and the TE803LC

Snap-on rates its Torqometer dial wrenches for 0 to 100 °F, which is about −18 to 38 °C. A tool left in direct afternoon sun can pass that limit, so night shifts suit this wrench well. Still, keep it in the shade and out of locked vehicles by day. Also dry the wrench after rain before you put it away.

Grade and checks for the Snap-on TE803LC Torqometer

Lost in HCM groups this wrench under US Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. Per Snap-on, that grade holds within 2% of reading from 20% of full scale up, so targets above 160 ft-lb sit in the band. Before each shift, test the lamp and confirm the needle rests at zero.

TE803LC night-shift FAQ

Does the TE803LC need a long handle?

Snap-on lists the standard TE803L with a separately packed 92TQPA 4-foot tubular extension handle. Ask Lost in HCM whether your TE803LC includes it.

Can I leave it in a truck cab during the day?

Avoid it. Snap-on gives an operating range of 0 to 100 °F, and a closed cab in the Vietnamese sun can run far hotter.

What does the lamp actually do?

On Snap-on’s signal models, a built-in light flashes once torque hits the target. The dial on the TE803LC still shows the value.
