Description
Power screwdrivers on an assembly line drift over a shift. So a QA technician needs a hand tool that shows what a screw really got. The Snap-on TQS6FUAC torque driver fills that role. It is a Torqometer dial driver with a US scale, a follow-up needle and, per its listing name, a chart.
A dial driver that remembers the peak
The follow-up feature is a second, memory needle. The main pointer rises with torque and then drops back when you let go. However, the memory needle stays at the highest value. So you can lift the TQS6FUAC off the part, hold it at eye level and read the peak without rushing.
Where the Snap-on TQS6FUAC torque driver earns its place
- Spot checks on screws that electric or air drivers ran on the line.
- Finding the torque it takes to turn a tight screw a little further, a common audit method.
- Tuning a new screw joint during a pilot build.
- Checking the turning effort of caps, knobs and small shafts.
In short, the TQS6FUAC answers the question “how much?” rather than “did it click?”. That makes the Snap-on TQS6FUAC torque driver a QA tool first and an assembly tool second.
US scale and 1/4-inch drive
Lost in HCM files the TQS6FUAC under Torqometer torque drivers with a 1/4-inch drive. Its group there is US Reading, Standard 2% Accuracy. So the dial reads in US units only. If your drawings call for metric values, look at the TQSC4FUAC or TQSR1FUAC instead, since both add a metric scale.
What about the range?
Snap-on’s 2005 Torqometer announcement lists a TQS6FUA, but not this exact part with the C suffix. Therefore we do not quote a range here. Lost in HCM can confirm the full scale and dial steps of the TQS6FUAC with your quote.
Bench habits that protect your readings
Zero the memory needle before every check. Then keep the driver in line with the screw, because a tilted tool adds side load. Swap out rounded bits early, because a tip that cams out ruins the peak value. Finally, store the TQS6FUAC in its case and send it for calibration on your plant’s normal cycle.

Questions about the TQS6FUAC
Why pick a dial driver over a clutch driver?
A clutch driver slips at one setting and tells you nothing more. A dial driver shows the actual value, so it suits audits and process trials.
What is the chart in the listing name?
The listing does not describe it. Ask Lost in HCM what the chart covers before you place an order.
Is there a metric version?
Yes. Lost in HCM also lists the TQSC4FUAC (US/metric) and the TQSR1FUAC (US/newton-meter) follow-up drivers.
