They are specifically designed to withstand the torque output of the MG325,” said Rodger Isetts, product manager for Snap-on. “We have received phenomenal feedback from service technicians who have already tried the MG325 with Snap-on’s Flank Drive Socket Sets. They tell us that using them together saves time and increases productivity. Based on their comments, we expect a lot of interest when they become available in January.”

• Continuous oil bath lubrication means impact mechanism is always lubricated for less wear and maintenance.

• Twin hammer impact mechanism means dependable harder hitting blows with less moving parts for longer tool life.

• Balanced housing means equal distribution of weight for optimal tool control.

• Low vibration impact means impact will run smoother with less user fatigue.
