Snap-on TQFRN130B Torque Wrench, 3/8″ Drive Flex Head, 25-130 N·m, TQ Series Click Type

Description

A maintenance crew that owns only one 3/8″ torque wrench usually wants this range. The Snap-on TQFRN130B torque wrench covers 25-130 N·m, which spans many machine, vehicle and fixture joints. It is a TQ series click-type wrench with a flex ratchet head and a scale in N·m.

The middle of the N·m range

In ft-lb, 25-130 N·m is about 18-96 ft-lb. So the TQFRN130B takes in many medium bolts on conveyors, motor mounts, jigs and light vehicles. Snap-on’s ±4% rating also starts at 20% of full scale, which here is 26 N·m. So nearly the whole scale is usable at full accuracy. For lighter work, however, the TQFRN68B fits better.

How the split-beam mechanism helps

A classic click wrench compresses a heavy coil spring. In contrast, the TQFRN130B measures with a split beam, so it has fewer moving parts and less friction. You dial the value with a thumb screw and read it in a window. Then a guard holds the setting, while a sealed neck keeps grit out of the mechanism.

Daily care for the TQFRN130B

• Wipe off oil after use, and clean the ratchet with light oil now and then.
• Keep it in its case, because drops can shift the reading.
• Never pull past 130 N·m.
• Pull smoothly and stop at the click, rather than jerking the handle.

Snap-on suggests a calibration check every six months. So add the TQFRN130B to your tool control list with that interval.

Buyer questions on the TQFRN130B

Does the TQFRN130B overlap with the TQFRN68B?

Yes, both cover 25-68 N·m. Choose the TQFRN130B when most of your targets sit above about 50 N·m.

Can I use it to loosen fasteners?

No. It measures clockwise only, and Snap-on warns against breaking fasteners loose with a torque wrench.

How often should it be checked?

Snap-on advises recalibration every six months, or more often with heavy use.
