Description
Lost in HCM lists the Snap-on TER175 dial torque wrench under the plain code “US/ New. Met. Basic – TER175”. It is the 1/2 inch drive Basic Torqometer that reads to 230 N·m and 175 ft-lb. For a certificate in the box, look at the TER175C with Calibration Certificate, its twin. Otherwise, this plain code keeps the order simple.
Fleet workshops and the Snap-on TER175 dial torque wrench
Bus operators and truck fleets in Vietnam run large workshops near their depots. Their mechanics service suspension, axle and driveline joints every week. A dial helps here, because the shop foreman can audit a joint and see the true value. In addition, the N·m scale fits the metric service manuals that many chassis makers publish. However, wheel nuts on heavy trucks can exceed this range, so check each spec first.
Why many fleets buy the plain TER175
Snap-on’s note under its CAT1500i table says the listed wrenches come without a certificate of calibration. A C at the end of the stock number orders that certificate. So the choice comes down to how your fleet keeps records.
- Large fleets often own a bench tester and check wrenches in house.
- A depot that adds a fourth wrench may only need a cross-check against the others.
- The saving can fund sockets or a second, smaller dial.
On the other hand, a fleet under a public transit contract may need a document on arrival. In that case, the TER175C is the safer order.
TER175 size and scales
Snap-on lists a 1/2 inch drive and a newton meter scale of 230 N·m in 10 N·m steps. The US side reads 175 ft-lb in 5 ft-lb steps. The body is 18-3/4 inches long and 2-3/4 inches wide, with a 1-3/8 inch head depth that excludes the drive. A PBR5 case appears in the same row. Moreover, the row sits in the Precise 1% Accuracy table as its largest 1/2 inch size. Snap-on’s UK brochure warns against work below 20% of full scale, so keep targets above about 46 N·m.
Simple checks between lab visits
Wipe grease off the dial at the end of each shift. Also check that the needle returns to zero before the first job. If the TER175 takes a fall, set it aside until someone tests it. Then follow Snap-on’s advice and recalibrate on a periodic cycle. Finally, never use the Snap-on TER175 dial torque wrench to free a seized nut.

Bus and truck depot questions on the TER175
Is there a two-needle TER175?
Yes. The TER175FU in the same row keeps the reached value on a second needle.
What size comes next above the TER175?
The TER352A steps up to a 3/4 inch drive and 480 N·m, or 350 ft-lb.
Can we order the C version later?
Yes, as a new order for the TER175C. For a wrench you already own, your lab or an outside lab can issue its own report.
