Description
Lost in HCM lists the Snap-on TEC803FU Torqometer as the plain “U.S./ Metric Follow-up – TEC803FU” code. A second listing, the TEC803FUC sold with Chart, covers the same 1 inch drive wrench plus a document. If your team tests every new tool itself, the plain code is usually the leaner order.
Snap-on TEC803FU Torqometer: the CAT1500i numbers
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Square drive | 1 in |
| U.S. scale / steps | 800 ft-lb / 25 ft-lb |
| Metric scale / steps | 110 kg·m / 2 kg·m |
| Length | 66-13/16 in |
| Width / head depth (no drive) | 3-9/16 in / 2-1/32 in |
| Handle | 92TQPA 4 ft tubular extension, packed separately |
| Dial | Follow-up, two needles |
These values come from the U.S./Metric Standard 2% Accuracy table in Snap-on’s CAT1500i catalog. The UK brochure sets that grade at ±2% of reading from 20% of full scale to full scale. On the TEC803FU, that means targets from 160 ft-lb, or 22 kg·m, upward.
What changes with the C code
Under the table, Snap-on notes that the listed wrenches come without a certificate of calibration. The catalog also says certificate models add a C suffix. So the TEC803FUC twin differs in its paperwork, while the dial, handle and drive stay alike. Lost in HCM calls that paperwork a chart, without listing what it shows.
- Plain TEC803FU: your site has a torque lab contract, or the wrench is a spare checked against a master.
- C twin: an owner audit, an EPC handover or a strict receiving desk wants a document on day one.
- Plain TEC803FU again: budget is tight, and the saving buys sockets or a second, smaller dial.
Port crane joints and the TEC803FU
Container terminals at Cai Mep and Hai Phong keep quay cranes and yard cranes busy around the clock. Planned stops are short, so crews need tools that read fast. With two needles, the TEC803FU keeps the reached value after the fitter lets go. Then the supervisor can log it before the next joint. Crane makers set their own bolting methods, however, so read the manual before you plan the wrench for a joint.
Tips for the separate extension handle
Snap-on packs the 92TQPA handle separately for this row. So check the box on arrival, and keep the handle with the wrench. Also mark both parts with the same asset number, because a lost handle stops the job. In addition, Snap-on gives its Torqometer line an operating range of 0 to 100 °F. Therefore keep the Snap-on TEC803FU Torqometer out of a hot container in the summer sun.
Pricing the TEC803FU for a terminal
SMK Vietnam shows the TEC803FU on behalf of Lost in HCM, which supplies it in Vietnam. Put the plain TEC803FU code on your request, and confirm that the 92TQPA handle is in the quote. Next, use the partner page to request a quote from Lost in HCM. Our torque wrenches list and the contact SMK Vietnam page help with other sizes.
Crane crew FAQ on the TEC803FU
Is a Light Signal model listed in this size?
Yes. The TEC803L sits in the same row and uses a signal light rather than a second needle.
How do we convert a N·m spec for this dial?
Divide the N·m value by about 9.81 to get kg·m. For example, 1,000 N·m is close to 102 kg·m.
Does the plain code mean a lower grade?
No. Both codes share one catalog row, so the accuracy grade is the same. The difference lies in the paperwork alone.
