Personal Workcenter Offers Technicians The Ultimate Tool Organization Solution

KENOSHA, Wis. (May 15, 2006) – Snap-on Tools understands keeping tools organized and in an easy-to-use manner is a smart investment, and that is why Snap-on offers one of the most innovative tool storage units on the market today - The Snap-on Personal WorkCenter. This tool storage unit ensures technicians know where their tools and equipment are by keeping them organized, easily accessible and secure. The Personal WorkCenter can be customized to fit the needs of the technician with a variety of innovative accessories, including tool holders and racks, shelves, lighting and magnetic panels.

The WorkCenter offers a range of capacities for any size business or workplace with a matching overhead that is almost 28 inches deep. Overhead units range from 54 to 72 inches wide (KRL5445 54-inch Overhead Storage, KRL6845 68-inch Overhead, KRL7245 72-inch Overhead), providing plenty of storage space for large cases, manuals, personal stereo systems, clothes or safety equipment. The Personal WorkCenter also has space for a digital workstation which can be easily accessed and locked up when not in use. The secure round key locks have interchangeable cores, which means keys can be matched to components to ensure maximum security.

The Personal WorkCenter incorporates Slots & Dots Plus™, giving technicians the means for greater possibilities with a dozen additional Snap-on accessories such as the 12-inch Literature Holder (KAS12PV), Manual Holder (KAMS18PV), Screwdriver Rack (KASR12PV) and Hammer Rack (KAHR12PV). The standard ¼-inch holes also support standard accessory attachments for greater variety.

Each custom Personal WorkCenter comes preassembled, ready-to-use and featuring the patent-pending Snap-on torsion spring-assist doors. The doors glide on a system that provides easy access to tools without interfering with a technician's workspace and keeps the door from slamming under its own weight.

Snap-on's superior craftsmanship can be seen in the standing top seam that flows around the edges that gives the Personal WorkCenter a smooth, finished look and outstanding weight-bearing capacity. Snap-on offers an all-out professional finish with a buffed stainless steel front plate and a variety of different colors to choose from, including: Snap-on Red, Candy Apple Red, Ultra Yellow, Royal Blue, Deep Cranberry, Green Mica, Electric Orange and Gloss Black to fit in or stand out in any workplace. "Our Personal WorkCenter offers not only tool organization help, but flexibility and dependability needed in storage centers," said John Landree, Tool Storage product manager, Snap-on Tools. "The Personal WorkCenter is no exception when it comes to the quality and innovation that Snap-on is known for."
