Frost & Sullivan Names Snap-on Best for Hand Tools
Snap-on has been recognized as having the “Overall Best Hand Tools in the United States” among its top competitors on the basis of Frost & Sullivan’s independent research - 2008 United States Automotive Technicians’ Choice: Evaluation of Automotive Tools. Snap-on has been the leader in the hand tools category every year since the annual research began and each year the percentage of technicians selecting Snap-on as number one has increased.In the 2008 survey, 69 percent of technicians ranked Snap-on number one in the hand tool category compared to just ten percent choosing its nearest competitor.
“We are truly honored to receive Frost & Sullivan’s Automotive Technician’s Choice Award for overall best hand tools in the industry,” said Bryan Hantke, product manager for Snap-on. “Snap-on’s new ratchet with Dual 80 Technology played a key role in our continued dominance in the hand tools category. It’s a unique product and it has become a big hit with service technicians. It’s great to win awards, but when your customers call and send e-mails to let you know how much they like a tool, there’s no better compliment than that.”
