Description
Think of the Snap-on TESI5L torque wrench as the base code of a small light signal Torqometer. Its certified twin is the TESI5LC supplied with a calibration certificate. The dial, drive and scale stay identical, so the question is who writes the first record.
Three checks that decide between TESI5L and TESI5LC
- Does your plant own a low-range torque tester? Then the Snap-on TESI5L torque wrench can start work after an in-house check.
- Is a customer audit due within weeks? In that case, the TESI5LC arrives with its certificate.
- Is this a backup tool? A spare usually needs only a cross-check against a master wrench.
Snap-on’s own catalog note backs this split. The wrenches in its tables come without a certificate of calibration, and a C at the end of the code adds one.
Small motors, fans and sensors
Fan and small motor lines drive many tiny screws into plastic and thin metal. Here, a light signal wrench lets the operator watch the part rather than the dial. Thus the Snap-on TESI5L torque wrench suits audit checks at the end of such a line. It also helps sensor makers who verify housing screws on a sample basis.
Snap-on TESI5L torque wrench figures from CAT1500i
- 1/4 inch square drive
- Scale up to 5 N·m, read in 0.2 N·m steps
- 9-29/32 in long and 2-11/16 in wide
- 1-1/4 in head depth, drive not counted
- PB9 storage case
Also, Snap-on files the TESI5L under Newton Meter Reading, Standard 2% Accuracy. Its UK brochure sets that band from 20% of full scale to full scale, in both directions. So on this tool the band begins at 1 N·m. Because of this, values under 1 N·m call for a lower range tool.
How the signal works on the TESI5L
According to Snap-on, the signal model has a built-in light that flashes when the targeted torque is reached. Set the target first, then pull slowly. Then stop at the flash, and read the needle if you need the exact value. In addition, the same row offers the TESI5 Basic and the TESI5FU Follow-up.
Getting the Snap-on TESI5L torque wrench
Lost in HCM supplies the TESI5L in Vietnam and issues every quote. Start with a quote request to Lost in HCM, quoting the plain code. Alternatively, compare sizes in the SMK torque wrench category, or contact SMK Vietnam first. After delivery, keep the wrench in its case and plan periodic recalibration.
TESI5L buyer FAQ
Does the TESI5L come with a certificate?
Not according to the catalog note for codes without the C suffix. For a certificate on delivery, order the TESI5LC.
What does 5 N·m equal in N·cm?
On the TESI5L, full scale equals 500 N·cm, because 1 N·m is 100 N·cm.
Can I use it to undo a tight screw?
No. Snap-on says not to use Torqometers like the TESI5L to break fasteners loose.
