Description
If your quality team asks for documents with every torque tool, the Snap-on TQS050AC torque driver is the code to look at. Lost in HCM lists it as the U.S. Basic Torque Driver “with Chart”. Its twin, the TQS050A basic driver without the chart, has its own page on this site. Both describe the same 7-3/4 inch tool with a 6 in-lb dial.
Two codes, one dial
Snap-on’s CAT1500i catalog lists the TQS050A in its 1/4 inch US Reading driver table. Under that table, a note says the printed codes carry no certificate of calibration. It also says a C at the end of the stock number orders the certified version. So the TQS050AC follows the catalog’s C rule, and the partner title names the extra item a chart.
| Your situation | Better code |
|---|---|
| Customer audit expects a record on day one | TQS050AC |
| Goods-in holds tools that arrive without papers | TQS050AC |
| Own torque tester verifies each new tool | TQS050A |
| Spare driver checked against a master tool | TQS050A |
| Tight budget, outside lab already booked | TQS050A |
Why the chart can save a week
A tool with no document often waits in quarantine until a lab can look at it. Meanwhile, the line runs without its check driver. With the chart code, the paper arrives in the same box as the Snap-on TQS050AC torque driver, so release can happen sooner. However, only your quality plan can say whether that paper meets its rules.
Why the plain code can save money
Plants with an in-house torque bench already write their own records. For them, a factory chart on the TQS050AC repeats a step they will do anyway. Therefore the TQS050A frees cash for spare bits, a stubby model or a second size.
Snap-on TQS050AC torque driver figures
- Body: standard length, 7-3/4 in.
- Dial: Basic, one needle, U.S. reading scale.
- Range: 96 in-oz, which equals 6 in-lb.
- Steps: 2 in-oz, or 1/8 in-lb.
- Case: PB47 storage case, per the catalog.
These figures come from the TQS050A row of CAT1500i page 336, since the TQS050AC shares that row. Also, the same row lists the TQS050FUA follow-up and the stubby TQSS050A.
Before you request the Snap-on TQS050AC torque driver
Lost in HCM handles supply and pricing for this driver in Vietnam. So put TQS050AC, not TQS050A, on the request, and ask for a sample of the chart if your auditor wants to see it first. With that settled, ask Lost in HCM to price the TQS050AC. You can also compare more torque screwdrivers on SMK Vietnam or send SMK Vietnam a question.
Buyer FAQ on the TQS050AC chart code
Does the chart change the reading of the TQS050AC?
No. The TQS050AC dial, body and scale match the TQS050A, because Snap-on prints both under one row.
Is there a stubby chart version?
Yes. Besides the TQS050AC, Lost in HCM lists the TQSS050AC, a 5-1/4 inch stubby with the same 6 in-lb scale.
Which units does Snap-on give for the TQS050AC?
Inch-ounces and inch-pounds. For a metric drawing, convert first: the TQS050AC top of 6 in-lb is about 0.68 N·m.
