Description

Small screws and sensor nuts strip long before a technician feels any resistance. The Snap-on TECH1FR240 torque wrench suits that light work. It has a 1/4-inch drive, a flex head, and a top value of 20 ft-lb, which equals 240 in-lb. In fact, the 240 in the part number matches that in-lb figure.

Think in inch-pounds

Most electronics and light assembly specs quote in-lb or N·m, not ft-lb. So it helps that the handle converts between N·m, ft-lb and in-lb. At the top end, for example, 240 in-lb is about 27.1 N·m. For the tightest accuracy, keep targets at or above 20% of full scale, which means 48 in-lb or more.

Flex head versus fixed head

First, a fixed head holds the socket in line with the handle. A flex head, by contrast, pivots, and Snap-on rates this one to move ±15°. That small tilt lets your hand clear a lid, a bracket or a row of connectors. However, keep the angle steady during the pull, so the reading stays consistent. For open access, Snap-on also builds a fixed-head 1/4-inch Techwrench, the TECH1R240.

Looking after a small ratchet

Keep the head clean and dry, since grit wears fine teeth quickly. Then store the wrench in its case between shifts. When the mechanism needs attention, Snap-on lists the RKRT72A ratchet service kit.
