WHEN ONE-OF-A-KIND IS CRITICAL TO GETTING WORK DONE CRITICAL APPLICATIONS REQUIRE SPECIAL TOOLS Snap-on makes thousands of custom tools every year for a variety of customers in aviation, transportation, natural resources and other critical industries. Bring us your challenge and we’ll develop a Snap-on ® solution to meet your needs. An aviation customer working in a demanding environment was consuming one standard socket for every two fasteners that were applied. Snap-on ® Industrial Solutioneers developed a custom-designed socket with a steel alloy more suited for the application and improved the design and heat treatment process, producing a new socket that tightens 70+ fasteners without failure. A railroad customer was using a “buggy bar,” for adjusting brake slack on locomotives. The bar was determined to be out of compliance with the railroad’s required metallurgical specifications. Snap-on ® Industrial Solutioneers designed a custom, economical tool that met the technical and metallurgical requirements, effectively resolving the safety and productivity issues that had been created by the inferior tool. An electric utility customer was dissatisfied with the performance of an off-the-shelf transformer access tool. The tool was susceptible to moisture and dirt contamination resulting in failure. Snap-on ® Solutioneers designed a sealed, 80-tooth ratchet gear system that’s resistant to contamination. It features Snap-on’s patented Flank Drive ® design, delivering 15-20% more turning power and a longer, ergonomically designed handle that provides more leverage and greater comfort. N204
