This must be a old video. In the video mention its not necessary to remove the batteries when storing it not in use, well it was said to remove batteries if not using and storing it because batteries may swell or leak overtime and is good safe measure to remove them out of the torque wrench when not in use.
Snap On - First, good video. I haven’t read my owners manual, so this is informative. I store both of my Techangle torque wrenches with the batteries removed (so a leaking battery doesn’t damage my tool). Will they remember preset torque settings when I do this?
4 SnapOn tool boxes, $170k in tools, I send in a 1/2” click-type torque wrench is use almost daily to have it’s 6 re-certification and they send it to say they have no parts! You made it, can’t you at least tell me if high, low or right a the mid point setting? Then the truck owner offers me $30 trade in for a new $380 torque wrench. I change my answer from no to hell no! They used to sharpen side cutters, regrind and tension needle nose pliers. That department closed… ASE Master 78.
Using the reverse mode if you over torque the bolt..? That's a first for me.. My Snap-On rep say you'll de-calibrate you torque is you do that.. ? Maybe digital torques don't apply to this philosophy.. ?
Will the torque wrench keep track of degrees traveled? (Ex. You set it for 180° and you pull it 90° and due to space limitations you then have to get another bite on the same fastener and pull it another 90°.) Will the wrench keep track and show 180° or will it just show 90°?
My problem with this is I think there is a time limit that it will remember the angle it was at before you stopped (to ratchet the wrench). For example, I was angle torquing a fastener and had to ratchet back while also making an adjustment to the part I was working on. I went to complete the angle torque and the wrench started back at 0 degrees - very frustrating. I’ve learned to mark the bolt head as a back up.
+Brad Kells Thanks for your question. For a fixed head, the head length is the offset length, measured from the center of the drive to the center of the fastener. For an interchangeable head, head length is measured from the locking pin to the center of the drive. For an interchangeable head with an adapter or extension, head length is the sum of the head length and offset length. When using Snap-on's ATECH Torque Wrench, the length of the head, adapter, and/or extension being used can be entered into the wrench to correct for a different length than that of the head used to calibrate the wrench, without requiring actual recalibration.
You do not need to use the HEADLENGTH feature when using vertical extensions. However when using vertical extensions for angle measurement , use the shortest extension possible. The torque instrument has a built-in angle bend-compensation for the bend of the torque instrument tube, but not for the twist of the vertical extension. Always use high quality extensions. .
great video. helped me decide which to get. pls. make more training series.
i am A tech at Harley`s Auto repair 64 south 11ave mount vernon ny this torque wrench is the best thank you snap-on
We ignoring the fact this dude looks like Ricky Bobby?!?

You did not cover the torque extension feature.
Hi, i want to read a break way torque value, can you recomend a specific torque Wrench
The unit of torque is lb-ft, not ft-lb. C’mon Snap-On (or is it On-Snap), you wouldn’t say Meter-Newtons.
How do you enter tq value 20.5 or 25.7 ft lb? I can’t seem to get the tenths value in there or find the option.
Sam, change the torque units to inch pounds, but instead of 20.5 ft.lbs. convert that to inch pounds, which is 246 in.lbs.
Sam Han use in pounds.....

My top button doesn’t beep but as soon you turn it on goes all the way up and acts like the top button is stuck pushing down
God bless

I believe all the digital ones are either direction, but check your factory calibration sheet to see if it lists reverse torque
Will the torque wrench keep track of degrees traveled? (Ex. You set it for 180° and you pull it 90° and due to space limitations you then have to get another bite on the same fastener and pull it another 90°.) Will the wrench keep track and show 180° or will it just show 90°?
it keeps track. So if you can only move so far each time it keeps subtracting until the value it met.
Yes, you may use the ratchet as much as you want, it only reads and accumulates the angle when moving clockwise.
Yes
My problem with this is I think there is a time limit that it will remember the angle it was at before you stopped (to ratchet the wrench).

How do you calculate the head length when using a extension bar horizontally
+Brad Kells Thanks for your question.
For a fixed head, the head length is the offset length, measured from the center of the drive to the center of the fastener.
For an interchangeable head, head length is measured from the locking pin to the center of the drive.
For an interchangeable head with an adapter or extension, head length is the sum of the head length and offset length.
When using Snap-on's ATECH Torque Wrench, the length of the head, adapter, and/or extension being used can be entered into the wrench to correct for a different length than that of the head used to calibrate the wrench, without requiring actual recalibration.
SnaponIndustrial1 so do you need to set up the head length if you are using a vertical extension too?
You do not need to use the HEADLENGTH feature when using vertical extensions. However when using vertical extensions for angle measurement , use the shortest extension possible. The torque instrument has a built-in angle bend-compensation for the bend of the torque instrument tube, but not for the twist of the vertical extension. Always use high quality extensions. .
They can bend a video in Spanish for those who do not understand English please thanks
