Thousands of technicians tuned in to watch the build of Snap-on Tools’ custom street rod as it unfolded online. The fully interactive project drew comments, suggestions and other active participation, including a contest to name the car. Now Snap-on is giving technicians a chance to own part of the action with its Limited Edition “Glo-mad” Shop Cart and Workcenter Combination.

Both units are designed to capture the essence of the Glo-mad with details such as Glo-mad logos, wrenches and images of the finished street rod.

Snap-on’s Limited Edition “Glo-mad” shop cart (KRSC41PNL) features a rugged 12-inch bottom drawer that can store up to 7,300 cubic inches — and hold more than 200 pounds — of bulky tools and parts. Its one-piece, fully welded body is designed for maximum strength, while four vertical bumpers help protect nearby vehicles and equipment.

With overall dimensions of 40 inches wide, 45 inches tall and 20-1/2 inches deep, the cart provides more than 22,000 cubic inches of storage capacity. In addition, the unit’s sliding stainless steel lid allows for quick access to the top compartment. The lid itself can hold up to 120 pounds of tools and is embossed around the edges to help keep items from rolling off.

Technicians should never compromise — especially when it comes to buying a tool storage unit. That’s why Snap-on designs its cart drawers to be interchangeable, so techs can create the configuration that fits their specific customization and organizational needs.

Can’t get enough Glo-mad? Snap-on has also introduced a workcenter combination (KRL133972PNL) for technicians that need more space. At over 70 inches tall, 72 inches wide and 29 inches deep, the 76,156 cubic-inch, triple-bank unit features two super wide (69-inch) drawers as well as 17 interchangeable drawers to provide the ultimate in customization, organization and flexibility.

Built to last, the workcenter not only looks great — with custom Glo-mad decals, white trim and chrome accents — but its heavy-gauge double-wall construction, stainless steel work surface and heavy-duty ball bearing slides on all drawers make it stronger and more durable than anything else on the market.

The unit’s riser features a Slots ‘n Dots mounting system for flexible organization as well as vertical storage so tools can be sorted by task. The riser (KRL7972APNL) may be purchased separately from the roll cab (KRL1033APNL) or as the combination workcenter (KRL133972PNL).

Customers can find out more about Snap-on’s Limited Edition Glo-mad Shop Cart (KRSC41PNL) and Workcenter (KRL133972PNL) by contacting their local Snap-on representative, visiting www.snapon.com or by calling toll free 877-SNAPON-2 (877-762-7662).
