Description
The Snap-on TEC3005 Torqometer is the plain code of a 1-1/2 inch drive U.S./metric dial wrench, with no certificate wording in its listing. Its twin is the TEC3005C supplied with a Certificate of Calibration. Both share one catalog row, so the real choice concerns your records, not the tool.
What does the plain TEC3005 leave out?
Snap-on’s CAT1500i U.S./Metric table carries a short note. Wrenches in the chart come without a certificate of calibration, while certificate versions are available. The TEC3005C listing names that certificate, so it is the version with paperwork. By contrast, the plain TEC3005 suits a buyer who already has a test route.
When is the Snap-on TEC3005 Torqometer the better buy?
Cement plants in Ninh Binh, Ha Nam and Kien Giang run kilns, mills and crushers with very large joints. Many of them stop a line once or twice a year for a major overhaul. If the plant sends its heavy wrenches to an outside lab before each stop, a supplier certificate adds little. Also, a contractor who moves the tool between sites may keep its own records. In those cases, the plain TEC3005 keeps cost down.
And when does the TEC3005C make more sense?
Choose the certified twin when the first record must exist before the tool reaches site. For instance, a project QA plan may list every gauge and its document before work begins. Likewise, a receiving desk may refuse a measuring tool that arrives with no paper. Then the certificate saves a lab trip and a delay.
What do the TEC3005 specs look like?
The TEC3005 row in CAT1500i starts with a 1-1/2 inch square drive. Its foot-pound scale climbs to 3,000 in 50 ft-lb marks, and its metric scale reaches 400 kg·m in 5 kg·m marks. The head is 5-1/2 inches wide, with a 2-13/16 inch depth that leaves out the drive. Snap-on files the row under Combination US/Metric Reading, Standard 2% Accuracy.
Snap-on’s UK brochure rates that grade at ±2% of reading from 20% of full scale to full scale. As a result, the TEC3005 suits targets from 600 ft-lb, or 80 kg·m, upward. The TEC3005 code heads a row that also lists the TEC3005FU and the TEC3005L. So ask Lost in HCM to confirm the dial layout of the unit it quotes.
How should a kiln crew handle it?
A 3,000 ft-lb wrench needs a plan before anyone lifts it. First, check the swing path and the footing around the joint. Next, work in pairs, and keep the dial in view through the pull. Also never use the Snap-on TEC3005 Torqometer to break a seized bolt loose. Finally, book its next outside check in the same system that tracks your other gauges.
How do I order the TEC3005?
Lost in HCM supplies this size in Vietnam and prepares every quote. Write the plain TEC3005 code on the request, and ask what handle and case come with it. After that, request a quote from Lost in HCM for the plain code. For lighter tools, see our torque wrenches, or contact SMK Vietnam about a plant project.
TEC3005 buying FAQ
Is an extension handle part of the TEC3005 kit?
The catalog row marks no handle for this code. So ask Lost in HCM what ships with the unit.
Can it read kgf·m specs from Japanese drawings?
Yes. The metric scale reads kg·m, the same unit as kgf·m, so you read those specs directly.
Is a smaller 1-1/2 inch size listed?
Yes. For example, the TEC2005 in the same table reads to 2,000 ft-lb and 280 kg·m.
