Description
This is the Snap-on TQS2.5A torque driver in its plain form, titled “U.S. Basic Torque Driver – TQS2.5A” by Lost in HCM. For the same driver with chart wording, open the TQS2.5AC listing with Chart. Because both codes share one dial and body, the choice rests on paperwork and on how your site checks tools.
Plain TQS2.5A and chart TQS2.5AC side by side
Below its US Reading Standard/2% Accuracy driver table, CAT1500i states the rule plainly. In short, chart drivers ship without a certificate of calibration, while a C on the stock number adds one. Lost in HCM calls its C listing “with Chart” and gives no detail on the contents. So the TQS2.5A suits buyers who create the record themselves.
Five codes around the Snap-on TQS2.5A torque driver
| Code | Body | Dial |
|---|---|---|
| TQS2.5A (this page) | Standard, 7-3/4 in | Basic, one needle |
| TQS2.5AC | Standard, 7-3/4 in | Basic, listed with Chart |
| TQS2.5FUA | Standard, 7-3/4 in | Follow-up, two needles |
| TQSS2.5A | Stubby, 5-1/4 in | Basic, one needle |
| TQSS2.5FUA | Stubby, 5-1/4 in | Follow-up, two needles |
All of these share the 480 in-oz, or 30 in-lb, range. Also, Snap-on says every driver in that table comes with a PB47 storage case.
Plain code or chart code: a quick guide
- Your lab owns a driver tester, so it logs each new tool: TQS2.5A.
- Also, a contract lab checks incoming gauges on a set cycle: TQS2.5A.
- The driver joins a set that already follows a recall plan: TQS2.5A.
- An audit or receiving rule demands papers on arrival: TQS2.5AC.
Using a 30 in-lb dial driver
Thirty inch-pounds equals about 3.4 N·m, which covers many enclosure and panel screws. Snap-on’s UK brochure suggests keeping the job near mid-scale, so targets around 15 in-lb fit the TQS2.5A well. Below 6 in-lb, the 20% mark, a smaller driver such as the 12 in-lb TQS1A reads better. Finally, store the driver in its PB47 case to protect the dial between shifts.

Answers for teams weighing the TQS2.5A
Is the TQS2.5A the same driver as the TQS2.5AC?
Yes. The chart listing uses the same TQS2.5A dial, range and body.
When does the stubby TQSS2.5A make sense?
Choose it for tight spaces, since it measures 5-1/4 inches against 7-3/4 inches for the standard body.
Does the TQS2.5A have a second needle?
No. This Basic driver shows torque on a single needle, while the TQS2.5FUA follow-up model adds a second one.
