Snap-on’s new EPIQ tool storage unit is a complete productivity system that’s designed to work the way that technicians in the 21st century work. EPIQ brings together sophisticated diagnostics and cordless tools, with reliable security and Snap-on’s heritage of rugged durability. Smart features help set EPIQ apart from all of the other tool storage units that are on the market today. One of the highlights is its PowerTop.

PowerTop is a rugged, stainless steel work surface with a raised edge to keep small items from rolling off. Plus, there’s an integrated power source so technicians can plug in their diagnostic tools, laptop computers, cell phones, iPods or digital cameras. PowerTop eliminates the need to hunt around for a free outlet or run an extension cord throughout the shop. Everything that technicians need to use throughout the day is fully charged and within their reach. PowerTop meets all of Underwriters Laboratories’ (UL) requirements, so it’s not only convenient for technicians, but it’s also certified safe.

“With EPIQ, Snap-on is changing the way that technicians work; better organization and less wasted time equal improved productivity,” said Chris Potter, president of tool storage for Snap-on Tools. “EPIQ is a revolutionary approach to tool storage that was created by technicians, for technicians. We received ideas and insight about the most-wanted designs and features. They told us what worked, what could work better and what didn’t work. We took all of the feedback into account and developed EPIQ; a whole new approach to tool storage.”

The PowerTop is just one of the numerous features that make EPIQ the world’s best tool storage unit. To see full details and specs on EPIQ, contact a local Snap-on franchisee or visit www.snapon.com/epiqpower.
