Description
Listed by Lost in HCM as the Basic dial wrench “with Chart”, the Snap-on TEC6AC Torqometer reads kg·cm and in-lb. The plain code sits on its own page as the TEC6A Basic dial wrench without a chart. Both codes point to the same tool, so read on to see which order code suits your quality file.

What the C adds to the TEC6A
Snap-on’s CAT1500i catalog says the wrenches in its tables ship without a certificate of calibration. It adds that a C suffix orders the certificate models. Lost in HCM describes the TEC6AC as the version with Chart. However, the listing does not say what that chart holds, so ask for a sample if the format matters.
Korean and Japanese drawings in kgf·cm
Many Korean and Japanese suppliers in Vietnam still write small screw torque in kgf·cm. Because the Snap-on TEC6AC Torqometer reads kg·cm directly, the operator can match the drawing without a calculator. In addition, the in-lb scale serves parts built to US drawings.
When the Snap-on TEC6AC Torqometer is the right order
- Your OEM customer audits torque tools at your plant and expects a document from the start.
- The wrench will serve as a reference for checking screwdrivers on the line.
- Receiving holds any measuring tool that lacks paperwork.
By contrast, a plant with its own torque bench can buy the TEC6A and record the first check in-house. That route also suits spare tools.
Snap-on TEC6AC Torqometer numbers from the TEC6A row
| Item | CAT1500i value |
|---|---|
| Drive | 1/4 in square |
| Metric scale | 90 kg·cm, 2.5 kg·cm steps |
| US scale | 75 in-lb, 1 in-lb steps |
| Length / width | 9-29/32 in / 2-11/16 in |
| Head depth (no drive) | 1-1/4 in |
| Case | PB9 |
| Grade | Combination US/Metric Reading, Standard 2% Accuracy |
Snap-on’s UK brochure sets the 2% band from 20% of full scale to full scale, both directions. So the TEC6AC covers its rated band from 18 kg·cm or 15 in-lb upward.
Looking after and ordering the TEC6AC
The Basic model has one needle that shows the torque achieved. Keep the Snap-on TEC6AC Torqometer in its PB9 case, stay within rated torque, and do not free stuck screws with it. To buy, request a quote for the TEC6AC from Lost in HCM. You can also see other torque wrenches or contact SMK Vietnam for advice.
TEC6AC questions from supplier plants
Does Snap-on offer the TEC6 with two needles?
Yes. Next to the TEC6AC base code, the same row lists the TEC6FUA Follow-up model. Snap-on shows no signal model for this size.
Can I convert the kg·cm reading to N·m?
Use a factor of roughly 0.098. So the 90 kg·cm full scale of the TEC6AC is roughly 8.8 N·m.
Does the chart replace later checks?
No. Snap-on says periodic recalibration keeps a torque wrench accurate, so plan regular checks for the TEC6AC.
