The products you are selling are the result of years of research and development, meticulously improving on even the slightest detail. They are simply the highest quality products on the market.

But your training actually never stops. Snap-on will continue to keep you abreast on our latest products, along with their selling points, to give you even more solutions to offer your customers.
You'll be able to keep customers up to date on new products and service ideas, handle warranty repair and replacement when necessary, and provide affordable programs for technicians to follow to expand and develop their tools and capabilities.

Why Snap-On-Tools?
Our reputation has been built on market leadership, quality products and innovation, plain and simple.Our research never stops. Product development and innovation remain a top priority for Snap-on. So does loyalty to our customers. In fact, many of our products are a direct result of technician input. Our customers have learned to look to us to provide them with the exact solutions they need—more so than any other tool provider out there.
Retaining this leadership position demands that we continue to innovate and push the envelope of design possibilities:
- A product range with the broadest selection of hand tools, power tools, diagnostic tools, tool storage and shop equipment.
- The Dual 80 technology ratchet that is smoother and stronger than any other.
- The most powerful cordless impact wrench in the market.
- Hand held diagnostic equipment that consistently wins performance and engineering awards.
- Tool boxes that feature the widest undivided tool box drawer in the industry.
This way of thinking is ever-present in all of our tools, storage units, diagnostic equipment and “under car” shop implements as well.
In a world where every competitor claims to be the leading innovator, we think there is one absolute way to measure the truth...the patent office.
Snap-on Incorporated and affiliates currently hold more than 1,700 active patents worldwide. In 2006, Snap-on was granted 47 new patents in the United States alone.
At Snap-on, there's no such thing as sitting still.
