Snap-on offers pink tools for breast cancer awareness

KENOSHA, Wis. — Snap-on Tools is recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness month this month with its "Socket to Breast Cancer" pink tool sets.

Franchisees will offer pink products they purchased in support of The Pink Fund and The Kelly Shires Foundations, two organizations that offer financial assistance to breast cancer patients and their families to cover non-medical expenses, such as auto repairs and utility bills, during treatment.

Over the nine year's of Snap-on's "Socket to Breast Cancer" program, the company has donated more than $1 million to these organizations.

This year's pink products include:

• The Snap-on ASA204BPM four piece mini acetate handle pick set and ASAL204BPM 4 piece acetate handle long pick set. Made from a proprietary alloy steel, the mini and long pick sets have a contour thumb stop in pink.
• Snap-on PL600ES1RKP six piece essential pliers/cutters set. The combination pliers feature a new Talon Grip that offer 57% increased pulling power. The VectorEdge diagonal cutters have induction-hardened blades to make repeated cuts at all locations along the blade. The handles of both sets are cushioned pink and designed to reduce fatigue.
• Snap-on SDDX70APP seven piece combination screwdriver set 3 and SDDX70APW seven piece combination screwdriver set. The set set is made from a proprietary alloy steel, and the screwdrivers have contour thumb stops for better control in both white and pink.

• Snap-on SGDX60204CPM 10-piece Instinct soft handle screwdriver/pick set. The alloy steel blade is topped with a pink, soft grip handle and tip identifier to add comfort and control while making the right tool easy to spot, while the tri-lobe design creates needed turning power and prevents the tool from rolling on flat surfaces.
• Snap-on SPBS704AP 4 piece striking prybar set. The pink-handle prybars come in 8, 12, 18 and 24 inches with precision-ground blade edges that are angled to create maximum leverage while lifting and pulling.

• Snap-on FHD80MPP 3/8-inch Drive Dual 80 Technology multi-position ratchet and THD72MPP 1/4-inch Drive Dual 80 Technology multi-position ratchet. The pink-handled ratchets function as offset fixed-head, conventional straight, and as a 360-degree speeder ratchets.
