Snap-on TEC352FUAC Torqometer, U.S./Metric Follow-up Dial Wrench, 3/4″ Drive, 350 ft-lb / 50 kg·m, with Chart

Description

Warehouses and factories in Vietnam run large forklift fleets from Japanese, Korean and American makers. Each truck has drive axle, mast and counterweight bolts that need checks at every service. The Snap-on TEC352FUAC Torqometer suits a fleet workshop that handles all of those brands. Its dial reads foot-pounds and kilogram-force meters, and a second needle records the torque achieved.

Mixed fleets, mixed manuals

A Japanese service manual may list kgf·m, while an American one lists ft-lb. As a result, mechanics often convert numbers at the bench, and errors creep in. The TEC352FUAC puts both scales on one face. So the mechanic can work straight from whichever manual is open.

Catalog row for the TEC352FUA

Snap-on prints these values in its combination US/metric table in CAT1500i. Per the catalog, a C at the end of the stock number orders the certificate of calibration version. That explains the C in TEC352FUAC. Still, Lost in HCM’s title says with Chart, so check what the paperwork covers.

Fleet service jobs for the Snap-on TEC352FUAC Torqometer

• Drive axle mounting bolts during a planned service.
• Mast hinge and tilt cylinder bracket bolts.
• Counterweight bolts after a body repair.
• Steer axle and wheel nut checks, where the truck manual gives a value in range.

Large-capacity trucks may call for values beyond this scale on some joints. Check each spec first.

Two needles for service records

Fleet customers often want proof of each check. With the TEC352FUAC, the first needle marks the target and the second holds the torque achieved. Therefore the mechanic can let go of the handle and still read the result. Reset the second needle before every bolt, so each record starts clean.

Range band and workshop care

Lost in HCM files the TEC352FUAC under Combination US/Metric Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. Snap-on defines that grade from 20% of full scale to full scale, so the band starts at 70 ft-lb or 10 kg·m here. Snap-on pairs this size with a PB39 storage case, so ask whether one comes with your order. Also never use the wrench to break fasteners loose, as Snap-on warns.

Forklift workshop questions

Why kg·m and not N·m?

The TEC352FUAC metric scale follows Snap-on’s kilogram-force convention. One kgf·m equals about 9.8 N·m.

Can it check wheel nuts?

Yes, where the truck maker’s value falls inside the scale. From 70 ft-lb up, the 2% band applies.

Does the chart equal a certificate?

Not necessarily. The catalog ties certificates to the C suffix, so confirm the paperwork with Lost in HCM.
