Description
Sugar mills in Tay Ninh, Thanh Hoa and the Mekong Delta crush cane for a few months, then strip their machines in the off-season. Mill rollers, crown gears and turbine drives all come apart during that overhaul. The Snap-on TESI2805FU torque wrench helps the crew put the big bolts back to spec. Its dial reads in newton meters, and a second needle shows the torque achieved.
Off-season overhaul work
The overhaul window is short, because the next crushing season starts on a fixed date. So each crew needs tools that give a clear reading the first time. With the TESI2805FU, the mechanic pulls to the target, lets go, and reads the follow-up needle. Then the supervisor writes the value on the overhaul sheet.

Snap-on prints this row in the newton meter table of catalog CAT1500i. The same table lists a sibling, the TESI2803FU, with a 1-inch drive and the same scale. Snap-on’s note says the C suffix orders a certificate of calibration. This listing is the plain TESI2805FU, so ask Lost in HCM about paperwork.
Mill joints for the Snap-on TESI2805FU torque wrench
- Mill roller bearing cap bolts, where the maker gives a torque value.
- Crown pinion and gearbox mounting bolts.
- Turbine and motor base bolts after an alignment.
- Cane carrier and shredder frame bolts.
Some very large studs, however, call for hydraulic tensioners. Follow the mill maker’s method for those.
Picking the drive size
The drive should match the sockets your crew already owns. For example, a mill with a 1-1/2-inch socket set gains little from a 1-inch wrench and an adapter. An adapter also adds one more joint between the wrench and the nut. So choose the TESI2805FU for 1-1/2-inch sets, and the TESI2803FU for 1-inch ones.
Grade, band and handling
Lost in HCM lists the TESI2805FU under Newton Meter Reading/Standard 2% Accuracy. Snap-on sets that grade over the span from 20% of full scale to full scale. The band therefore starts at 560 N·m on this dial. At 80 inches long, the wrench works best with two people, one to pull and one to read. Also, never use it to free seized nuts, because Snap-on warns against that.

Sugar mill questions
What is 2,800 N·m in ft-lb?
About 2,065 ft-lb. So check whether your manual gives metric or imperial values.
Does an extension handle ship with it?
The catalog marks this model with a handle footnote, but the symbol is hard to read. Ask Lost in HCM which handle comes with your unit.
Is a certificate included?
The source names no certificate, and the code has no C suffix. Check the paperwork for the TESI2805FU with Lost in HCM first.
