Description
This page covers the Snap-on TEC3005FU Torqometer, the plain code that Lost in HCM lists as “U.S./ Metric Follow-up – TEC3005FU”. Its listing carries no chart wording, so look at the TEC3005FUC version with Chart if your file needs that document. Both codes point to the same 1-1/2 inch drive wrench. So the choice turns on paperwork and budget, not on the tool.
Plain code or chart code for the TEC3005FU
Snap-on prints the TEC3005FU in the Follow-up column of its CAT1500i U.S./Metric table. A note under that table says the listed wrenches come without a certificate of calibration. In addition, the catalog states that certificate models add a C suffix. Lost in HCM describes that C twin as coming with Chart, while its contents stay unlisted. Thus the dial, the scales and the drive match on both codes.
Who should order the Snap-on TEC3005FU Torqometer
Hydropower stations in the north and the Central Highlands plan major overhauls well ahead. Their shops often hold a contract with an outside torque lab that checks each heavy wrench before an outage. For such a team, a chart from the supplier repeats the lab’s work. Likewise, a spare unit only needs a cross-check against the first one. In both cases, the plain code frees budget for sockets or a smaller dial.
Outage cases where the TEC3005FUC wins
Pick the chart code when the record must start on delivery day. For example, an EPC contractor may bar any gauge from site without a document. Similarly, a receiving desk may hold a measuring tool that arrives with no paper. Then the chart version avoids a delay just before the outage.
TEC3005FU catalog recap
| Item | CAT1500i p.335 |
|---|---|
| Square drive | 1-1/2 in |
| U.S. scale | 3,000 ft-lb, 50 ft-lb steps |
| Metric scale | 400 kg·m, 5 kg·m steps |
| Width | 5-1/2 in |
| Head depth, drive excluded | 2-13/16 in |
| Dial | Follow-up, two needles |
Snap-on lists this row in its Standard 2% Accuracy table. The UK torque brochure gives that grade a ±2% band from 20% of full scale to full scale, in both directions. On this dial, the band starts at 600 ft-lb, or 80 kg·m. As a result, lighter cover bolts need a smaller tool.
Reading two needles on outage joints
On a Follow-up model, one needle marks the target and the other shows the torque reached, according to Snap-on. So the fitter can finish the pull, then read the result with the load off. That helps on wide flanges, where the dial may face away from the person pulling. Reset the second needle on the Snap-on TEC3005FU Torqometer before each joint. Also stay within rated torque, and never use the TEC3005FU to break a seized bolt loose.

TEC3005FU outage planning questions
Can we add a certificate after delivery?
Your own lab or an outside lab can test the wrench and issue its own report. However, a Snap-on document in the box needs the C code at the time of order.
Do the TEC3005FU scales show N·m?
No. The scales read ft-lb and kg·m, so convert N·m targets first. Divide the N·m value by 9.81 to get kg·m.
Does a Light Signal twin exist in this size?
Yes. The same catalog row lists the TEC3005L, which flashes a light at the target instead of using a second needle.
