Product Safety — Snap-on Incorporated

Our Commitment to Safety

Snap-on is committed to the safety of all users of our products. This commitment starts during the design and manufacturing stages with the intent to meet or exceed all applicable safety standards—and it extends well beyond that. Snap-on+1

Safety by Design

  • Products carry clear warnings and safety messages to guide safe use.

  • We provide detailed instructions whenever needed to ensure tools are used correctly.

  • We offer the right tool for the job, helping you avoid misuse and reduce risk.

  • A broad selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) is available to help keep you safe when working in potentially hazardous situations. Snap-on

Product Safety Notices

We issue Product Safety Recalls, Advisories, and Retrofits when necessary to resolve safety concerns related to products already in use. It is critical that you review these notices, and take prescribed actions promptly for any affected products you own or use. Snap-on

Example notices:

  • 2024 – Product Safety Recall: Dog Bowls (2-pack, part SSX22P168)

  • 2023 – No product recalls issued.

  • Product Safety Advisory – Model EEBC500-INT Battery Charger Plus Snap-on

Ongoing Safety Reminders

We periodically share Safety Reminders to reinforce best practices and safe tool usage.

For instance, with our T-series ratchets (¼” square drive, 72-tooth, low-profile design):

  • Use the SPP932 head holder during reassembly to protect your hand when tightening the plate screws.

  • If foreign debris is in the screw hole or the hole depth is excessive, using SPP932 (or SPP938 kit that includes it) can help avoid hand injury. Snap-on
