Description
The Snap-on TEC352AC torque wrench on this page is the code that Lost in HCM lists as TORQOMETER U.S./ Metric Basic (with Chart) – TEC352AC. If you do not need the chart, see the plain TEC352A dial torque wrench instead. Both rest on one Snap-on catalog row. Therefore the tool behaves the same, and the chart is the only change.
Chart version of the TEC352A
Snap-on’s CAT1500i marks certificate of calibration models with a C suffix. Its combination table also says the listed wrenches ship without a certificate. So the extra C in TEC352AC points to documents rather than hardware. Lost in HCM calls that item a chart, while its contents remain unstated.
A new site with no torque bench
Greenfield plants and remote project sites often start before any lab gear arrives. At that stage, nobody can verify a 350 ft-lb wrench in-house. A charted Snap-on TEC352AC torque wrench gives the site a paper record from day one. As a result, commissioning crews can torque frames, pumps and base plates while the quality file stays complete.
Where the plain TEC352A saves money
Once the site owns a tester that reaches 350 ft-lb, later wrenches can arrive plain. Similarly, a workshop with a contracted outside lab can buy the TEC352A and book a check. In both cases, the budget goes to the tool, and the lab writes the record.
Specs carried over from the TEC352A row
- 3/4 inch square drive
- U.S. scale to 350 ft-lb in 10 ft-lb steps
- Metric scale to 50 kg·m in 1 kg·m steps
- 29-7/8 inches long and 3-1/4 inches wide
- 1-25/32 inch head depth, without the drive
- PB39 storage case
The TEC352AC is a Basic model with one needle that shows the torque achieved. Snap-on lists the TEC352FUA follow-up and TEC352LA signal versions in the same row. All three sit in the Combination US/Metric Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy table.
Reading kg·m on the Snap-on TEC352AC torque wrench
Some equipment makers give anchor and frame torques in kg·m. Because the dial reads kg·m directly, the crew skips a conversion step. For other units, 50 kg·m equals about 490 N·m. Also, the UK brochure puts the Standard band from 20% of full scale, so plan work above 70 ft-lb or 10 kg·m.

New-site FAQ for the TEC352AC
Can the TEC352AC loosen seized anchor bolts?
No. Snap-on tells users not to free stuck bolts with a Torqometer. Use a breaker bar first, then torque with the wrench.
When should the site book its first recheck?
Snap-on advises periodic recalibration but sets no fixed date here. Therefore use the interval in your own quality plan, and book the lab early.
What should I ask Lost in HCM about the chart?
Ask who issues it and what it covers, and request a sample page. Then you can confirm it fits your quality file.
