Snap-on TEC50FUA Torque Wrench, U.S./Metric Follow-up Torqometer, 3/8″ Drive, 600 in-lb / 700 kg·cm

Description

The Snap-on TEC50FUA torque wrench is the plain follow-up code on Snap-on’s TEC50 row, a 3/8 inch dial that reads 600 in-lb and 700 kg·cm. This listing carries no chart. Its twin, the TEC50FUAC follow-up wrench with Chart, adds documents to the same tool.

Where the TEC50FUA sits among its row mates

Snap-on’s CAT1500i catalog groups three dial styles on one row of its US/Metric Standard 2% table. Lost in HCM then offers chart codes for some of them. Here is how the TEC50 codes line up:

So the TEC50FUA choice has two steps. First pick the dial style, and then decide on the paperwork.

Why the Snap-on TEC50FUA torque wrench helps on audit rounds

On a Follow-up model, two separate needles show the targeted torque and the torque achieved. For example, a QA checker can pull on a finished joint and read the TEC50FUA dial once the pull ends. That suits plants that log real values rather than pass or fail. By contrast, the TEC50LA flashes a light at the target, which may suit repeat tightening better.

Budget, labs and the plain TEC50FUA

The CAT1500i table notes that its wrenches leave Snap-on without a certificate of calibration. Therefore the TEC50FUA suits a site that checks new tools on its own tester or through a contracted lab. However, take the chart code when an audit needs a record from day one. The same goes for a receiving desk that holds any gauge arriving with no document.

Snap-on TEC50FUA torque wrench dimensions and scales

• Square drive of 3/8 inch for common small sockets.
• Inch-pound dial up to 600 in-lb, graduated every 20 in-lb.
• Kilogram-centimeter dial up to 700 kg·cm, graduated every 20 kg·cm.
• Body 12-1/2 in long and 2-11/16 in wide, with a 1-1/4 in head depth that leaves out the drive.
• Stored in a PB9 case.

Need a 1/2 inch drive with the same scales? The TEC51FU on the next row reads those values on a 15 inch body. Also, Snap-on’s UK brochure applies the Standard 2% grade from 20% of full scale upward, so the Snap-on TEC50FUA torque wrench reads best above about 120 in-lb.

Ordering the right TEC50 code

Lost in HCM supplies the TEC50 family in Vietnam and quotes each code. Spell out the full code, because one letter changes either the dial or the paperwork. Then request a TEC50FUA quote from Lost in HCM, see more dial and click torque wrenches, or contact SMK Vietnam for help with the choice.

TEC50 row questions

Which TEC50 code fits a line operator?

For repeat tightening, the TEC50LA signal light may suit better, since it flashes at the target. The TEC50FUA fits checking and recording.

Which Snap-on case holds the TEC50FUA?

The CAT1500i row names a PB9 storage case for this wrench.

Can I switch to the chart version after purchase?

Not by swapping codes. However, your lab or an outside lab can check the TEC50FUA and issue its own report.
