Description
This Snap-on TEC250 torque wrench is the plain Basic code, with a single needle and twin ft-lb and kg·m scales. The other version, the TEC250C Basic Torqometer with Chart, shares the same hardware. So the right pick depends on your records, not on the job.
TEC250 versus TEC250C in plain terms
| Question | TEC250 | TEC250C |
|---|---|---|
| Listing wording | Basic | Basic, with Chart |
| Catalog row | TEC250 | TEC250 plus C suffix |
| Extra item named | None | A chart, per the listing |
Behind this table, in fact, sits a Snap-on note. Wrenches in its Torqometer charts come without a certificate of calibration, and a C suffix adds one.
Body builders and the Snap-on TEC250 torque wrench
Truck and bus body shops in Vietnam mount frames, axles and brackets from many makers. Some manuals give torque in kg·m, while others use ft-lb. So a single dial with both scales removes the need to convert on the shop floor. Also, a body shop that verifies tools in its own tool room can save with the plain Snap-on TEC250 torque wrench.
When the TEC250C is worth the extra
Pick the chart version when a chassis maker audits your shop before approving your bodies. Similarly, choose it when there is no time to book a lab before work begins.
Catalog values for the TEC250
The CAT1500i row gives a 1/2 inch drive, a 35 kg·m metric scale in 1 kg·m steps, and a 250 ft-lb US scale in 10 ft-lb steps. In addition, the wrench is 23-3/4 in long and 2-3/4 in wide, and its head depth is 1-3/8 in without the drive. A PB8A case also comes listed with it.
Snap-on places the TEC250 in its Standard 2% Accuracy table. Its UK brochure applies that grade from 20% of full scale to full scale, in both directions. So the band starts at 50 ft-lb or 7 kg·m.
Single needle, simple habits
On a Basic model, one needle shows the torque achieved. Therefore watch the dial as you pull, and stop at your value. If you prefer two needles, ask about the TEC250FU, and for a light signal, the TEC250L. In every case, stay below the rated torque and never break fasteners loose.
