Snap-on TEXC2003TFU Torque Wrench, Torqometer U.S./Metric Follow-up T-Handle, 2,000 ft-lb / 280 kg·m, 1″ Drive

Description

You are looking at the Snap-on TEXC2003TFU torque wrench, the version of this Torqometer head that ships without a certificate of calibration. Its twin, the certified TEXC2003TFUC Torqometer, carries that document from the factory. The dial, the scales and the 1 inch drives stay identical between the two.

Reading the order code on the TEXC2003TFU

Snap-on adds a C to the end of a stock number when the buyer wants a certificate of calibration. Without that letter, the TEXC2003TFU comes as a plain chart model. That rule appears under the T-handle tables in the CAT1500i catalog. Therefore the choice here concerns records, while the tool stays the same.

A receiving routine for the Snap-on TEXC2003TFU torque wrench

Plants that buy heads without a certificate usually run their own intake steps. A simple version looks like this:

• First, log the serial number and give the head an asset tag.
• Next, send it to your in-house bench or a contracted lab for a first check.
• Then file the resulting report under that asset tag.
• Set a recall date before the head goes to the field.

If your team already does all four steps for every gauge, the Snap-on TEXC2003TFU torque wrench saves money with no loss of control.

When to pay for the C version instead

Some buyers of the TEXC2003TFU cannot wait for a lab slot. For instance, a shutdown may start the week the tool lands, and the client’s QA plan may demand a certificate on every gauge. In that case, the TEXC2003TFUC lets the crew start work at once. Also, a site with no lab contract at all gains a first record without extra steps.

Short spec recap

CAT1500i lists the TEXC2003TFU with a 1 inch female input and a 1 inch male output. The U.S. scale runs to 2,000 ft-lb in 50 ft-lb steps. Meanwhile, the metric scale reaches 280 kg·m in 5 kg·m steps. In addition, the head measures 10-7/8 in long, 4-3/8 in wide and 4-7/16 in deep. Snap-on offers the 82TQP T bar (18 in) and the 85TQP extension handle (31 in) as options. Two needles make it a follow-up model, so the peak stays on the dial.

Questions on the TEXC2003TFU

Will my lab need special fixtures for a 2,000 ft-lb head?

Probably, since many benches stop well below this load. So ask your lab to confirm its range before you choose the code without a certificate.

Is there a version with a 1-1/2 inch output?

Yes. CAT1500i lists the TEXC2005TFU at the same 2,000 ft-lb with a 1-1/2 inch male output.

Can I use it to loosen seized bolts?

No. Snap-on warns against using Torqometers to break fasteners loose.
