Description
Plastic injection and aluminum die-casting plants in Vietnam run large clamping machines from Japan, Taiwan and China. Their platens, cylinder mounts and clamp links rely on heavy bolts, and many machine manuals list torque in kgf·m. The Snap-on TEXC2005TFU torque wrench reads kg·m and ft-lb on one dial. A follow-up needle also keeps the peak, so the fitter can log a real value after each pull.
Clamp unit work with the Snap-on TEXC2005TFU torque wrench
A clamp unit opens and closes thousands of times each day under high force. So loose platen or cylinder bolts can shift alignment and mark the mold. During a planned stop, the maintenance crew pulls each bolt to the manual value and reads the held needle. Then the readings go onto the machine history card for the next service.
TEXC2005TFU row, combination table
| Feature | TEXC2005TFU |
|---|---|
| Input / output drive | 1 in female / 1-1/2 in male |
| U.S. scale | 2,000 ft-lb, 50 ft-lb steps |
| Metric scale | 280 kg·m, 5 kg·m steps |
| Length / width / head depth | 10-7/8 in / 4-3/8 in / 4-7/16 in |
| Optional handles | 82TQP T bar (18 in), 85TQP extension (31 in) |
The combination U.S./metric T-handle table in Snap-on catalog CAT1500i holds this row. That row also lists the TEXC2005TL as the light-signal twin. In addition, the table states that its heads carry no certificate, and a C at the end of the code orders the certificate version.
Using kg·m from a machine manual
Older Asian machine manuals often print bolt torque in kgf·m, while newer ones use N·m. Because the TEXC2005TFU reads kg·m directly, the fitter can work from older pages without a calculator. For N·m, multiply kg·m by about 9.81. For example, the full 280 kg·m equals roughly 2,750 N·m.
Working band of the Snap-on TEXC2005TFU torque wrench
Snap-on holds this grade within 2% of reading from 20% of full scale to the top. Here, that window opens at 400 ft-lb, or 56 kg·m. Mold clamp and ejector bolts often sit lower, so a smaller head may suit them better. Meanwhile, the 1-1/2 inch output drives large sockets with no adapter in the load path.
Shop-floor care for the TEXC2005TFU
Hydraulic oil and release agent coat everything near a molding cell. Therefore wipe the head and dial guard after each job, and store it in a dry cabinet. Never exceed full scale, and never break seized bolts loose with it. Also send it for calibration on the cycle your plant sets.

TEXC2005TFU molding and die-cast FAQ
Can the TEXC2005TFU tighten tie-bar nuts?
Only when the machine maker gives a torque value inside its range. Many large tie-bar nuts need a hydraulic method, so follow the manual.
Does Snap-on offer the TEXC2005TFU with a signal lamp?
Yes. Snap-on lists the TEXC2005TL in the same row, with a lamp at the preset instead of a peak needle.
How do I get a certificate version of the TEXC2005TFU?
Per the catalog, adding C to the code orders the certificate version. Lost in HCM can confirm whether the TEXC2005TFUC is available.
