Techs can ensure their shops have a "magnetic personality" with these magnetic tools and accessories from Snap-on

KENOSHA, Wis. (Jan. 24, 2019) - A productive and efficient shop can be truly magnetic in attracting customers, and Snap-on has the solutions to help shops run at peak performance. These magnetized tools and accessories from Snap-on help techs get the job done better and faster.

  • 1. Snap-on® 1/4″ Hex Drive Round Swivel Head Bit Driver Ratchet (standard (TNFM72), soft grip (THNFM72) and hard handle (THNFDM72R) versions)

    Magnetic bit retention gives this ratchet character. Its slim, round ratchet head swivels 260° to get into tight work areas and includes a 72-tooth gear for five degrees of swing arc and shorter movement between tooth engagement. Eight teeth are always in contact with the gear for strength and durability, and an adjustable yoke screw allows the head to be tightened into a fixed position. A rugged nickel chrome finish resists corrosion, and it comes in standard, soft grip and hard handle versions.

  • 2. Snap-on® 12MSKTH_, 14MSKTH_ and 38MSKTH_ Metric/SAE Magnetic Socket Holders These new metric/SAE socket holders contain 30 percent stronger magnets than the previous model, come in four popular colors (red, black, green and orange) and are offered in three different drive sizes (1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch drive), designed to fit standard chrome and impact sockets. Rubber over-molding keeps sockets in place, and techs can promptly locate the right size with easy-to-read size indicators.

  • 3. Snap-on® ECPRB042 400 Lumen ABS Project Light

    The ECPRB042 offers a magnetic swivel base for bright lighting even in the toughest spots, rotating 360 degrees for maximum illumination angles. Intelligent control allows variable brightness, so techs can select the right amount of light - 400 lumens for 2.5 hours of run time down to 40 lumens for over 10 hours. High-quality ABS plastic makes it a durable shop solution, and it comes in red, green, orange and high-visibility yellow.

  • 4. Snap-on® ACYMAGWIND EZ Mount Windshield Kit

    This magnetic windshield mount kit is ideal for techs on the go - offering quick access and ultimate holding power. The kit features a suspended Steelie® ball design that magnetizes to the phone socket, adhered with 3M® VHB® adhesive for easy removal or use with other compatible EZ Mount accessories. The adjustable aluminum arm secures to any windshield using a patented suction cup design and quickly releases with a simple lever.

  • 5. Snap-on® KAHMPC Magnetic Hanger

    Not just any magnetic hanger - the KAHMPC holds up to 20 pounds, so techs can use it to hang tools outside a cart, organize cords in the shop or even use two to hang a creeper on the side of a roll cab. Its base has a rubber coating to prevent scratching a painted surface, and two holes are included in the base if application requires screwing into wood.

Customers can learn more about giving their shop a magnetic personality with these tools and accessories by contacting their Snap-on franchisee or other sales representative, visitingwww.snapon.com or calling toll free 877-SNAPON-4 (877-762-7664).
