Snap-on TEC250FU Torqometer, U.S./Metric Follow-up Dial Wrench, 1/2″ Drive, 250 ft-lb / 35 kg·m

Description

Below is the Snap-on TEC250FU Torqometer in its plain Follow-up code, without chart wording. Lost in HCM also lists the TEC250FUC Follow-up with Chart for buyers who want documents in the box. Otherwise, the two are one and the same two-needle wrench.

Choosing between TEC250FU and TEC250FUC

Snap-on’s catalog says its Torqometer charts list wrenches without a certificate of calibration. A C suffix, it then explains, orders the certificate model. Thus the TEC250FU leaves the first verification to your team. In return, it costs less than the chart code.

• Plain TEC250FU: plants with a torque tester, spare tools, tight budgets.
• TEC250FUC: audits from day one, gate checks at client sites, no lab slot before use.

Mold shops and press maintenance

Injection mold shops bolt clamps, plates and hot runner parts again and again. A Follow-up dial lets a second person confirm the result after the fitter lets go of the handle. Meanwhile, the kg·m scale matches many Asian machine manuals, and the ft-lb scale covers US ones. So the Snap-on TEC250FU Torqometer fits a maintenance crib that serves mixed presses.

Also, the TEC250FU belongs to the Standard 2% Accuracy table. According to Snap-on’s UK brochure, that grade holds from 20% of full scale to full scale, clockwise and counterclockwise.

Getting good readings from two needles

Snap-on states that one needle marks the targeted torque and the other marks the torque achieved. First set the target needle, then pull at an even pace. Next, compare the two needles before you log the joint. Finally, never use the Snap-on TEC250FU Torqometer to free a seized bolt, and keep it under rated torque.

Mold shop questions on the TEC250FU

Where does the rated band start on this wrench?

It starts at 20% of full scale, which is 50 ft-lb or 7 kg·m on the TEC250FU.

Is a light signal model listed?

Yes. Next to the TEC250FU, the same catalog row lists the TEC250L, plus the TEC250 Basic.

Should we recalibrate it often?

Snap-on says periodic recalibration of the TEC250FU is necessary. So heavy daily use calls for a shorter cycle in your plan.
