SNAP-ON INDUSTRIAL LAUNCHES ITS NEW 45K4W CUSTOM SOCKET PROGRAM TO MANUFACTURE CUSTOM TOOLS
Starting April 1, 2011, Snap-on Industrial will launch its new 45K4W
Custom Socket program to provide customers with virtually any impact sock- et – more than 45,000 custom SKUs - needed to work those unique jobs. The goal of the 45K4W Custom Socket program is to expand Snap-on Industrial’s product offering by working with customers to identify needed non-standard tool sizes, and to manufacture and deliver those tools in a time- ly and efficient process. “We’re receiving more requests for specialized impact sockets – sockets
that are not in our catalog or product offering,” said John Martell, product manager, Snap-on Industrial. “This new program will offer our customers the ability to order an impact socket made to their specifications, built with the same quality and durability they’ve come to expect from Snap-on.” The 45K4W Custom Socket program is starting with custom-manu-
factured impact sockets, with six- and 12-point hex and, in any square drive size between 1/2” and 2 1/2”. The 45K4W Custom Socket program is ideal for customers and appli-
cations in railroads, power generation, construction, manufacturing, aviation and aerospace, military and defense, mining or anywhere impact sockets are used. The advantage Snap-on Industrial brings to customers is quality, service
and shorter lead times. Each tool manufactured under the 45K4W Custom Socket program comes with the Snap-on quality and performance. And by offering combinations of drive size, hex size, six- and 12-point hex, and sock- et length, Snap-on Industrial will work with customers to ensure the tools they purchase fit their needs. Snap-on Industrial is able to design, manufac- ture and deliver custom impact sockets in about four weeks. ◆
