Description
Lost in HCM lists the Snap-on TEC12FUA Torqometer under its plain code, with no chart in the name. If your quality file needs a document on arrival, see the TEC12FUAC follow-up Torqometer with Chart instead. Both codes describe one 3/8 inch follow-up dial wrench. This page therefore focuses on when the plain code wins.
No chart on this code: the trade-off
The CAT1500i US/Metric table carries a short note. It says the wrenches in the chart come without a certificate of calibration, while certificate models are also available. On Snap-on’s other Torqometer pages, the C suffix marks those models. So the TEC12FUA arrives as a tool only, and your team builds its record. That suits a site with a torque tester and trained staff, because the first check happens in-house anyway.
Matching the TEC12FUA code to your situation
| Situation | Better code |
|---|---|
| Your lab verifies each new tool before release | TEC12FUA |
| An outside lab checks every tool on arrival | TEC12FUA |
| A customer audit wants a record from day one | TEC12FUAC |
| Receiving will not release a gauge without a document | TEC12FUAC |
| A spare dial for a repair bench | TEC12FUA |
In short, the plain TEC12FUA fits when someone else in the chain writes the record. Otherwise, the chart version saves a step.
Snap-on TEC12FUA Torqometer: catalog row in brief
- The head takes 3/8 inch square-drive sockets.
- Kilogram-centimeter scale up to 175 kg·cm, marked every 5 kg·cm.
- Inch-pound scale up to 150 in-lb, marked every 5 in-lb.
- 9-29/32 in long, 2-11/16 in wide and 1-1/4 in head depth, not counting the drive.
- PB9 storage case.
Snap-on places the row in its Standard 2% table. The UK brochure defines that grade as within 2% of reading from 20% of full scale upward, clockwise and counterclockwise. So aim to work above about 35 kg·cm or 30 in-lb.
How the Snap-on TEC12FUA Torqometer helps a test bench
A Follow-up model has two separate needles, according to Snap-on. Together they show the targeted torque and the torque achieved. Then, after the pull, a technician can read the result calmly and write it down. This makes the Snap-on TEC12FUA Torqometer handy for audit checks on finished joints. Reset the second needle before each new reading.
Sending the TEC12FUA request
Lost in HCM supplies Snap-on dial wrenches across Vietnam and writes each quote. Quote the plain TEC12FUA code, so the chart version does not ship by mistake. To begin, ask Lost in HCM for a TEC12FUA quote. You can also see other torque wrenches at SMK Vietnam, or contact SMK Vietnam with sizing questions. Once it arrives, stay within the rated torque and never break fasteners loose with it.
TEC12FUA in-house lab questions
Can our lab write the first record for the TEC12FUA?
Yes, if your quality system allows in-house checks. Your lab tests the wrench and files its own report, so the plain code is enough.
Does the TEC12FUA dial read N·m?
No. Its dial reads in-lb and kg·cm. For N·m, take the kg·cm reading times about 0.098.
Which TEC12 code lights up at the target?
The TEC12LA. It sits on the same CAT1500i row and uses a signal light instead of a second needle.
