Snap-on Industrial launches custom socket program

Some applications these days are calling for impact sockets that may not be readily available.

Starting April 1, Snap-on Industrial will launch its new 45K4W Custom Socket program to provide customers with virtually any impact socket – 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 timely 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-manufactured 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 applications in railroads, power generation, construction, manufacturing, aviation and aerospace, military and defense, mining or anywhere impact sockets are used.
