First in Market Snap-on Trays Offer Storage for Shallow, Deep and Semi-deep Sockets KENOSHA, Wis. (June 5, 2017) - Snap-on is introducing two new post-style socket trays, the first in the market to accommodate storage for shallow, deep and, now, semi-deep sockets. These Snap-on exclusive trays feature a middle row with posts sized specifically for semi-deep sockets. The 3/8" and 1/4" trays make it easy to move sockets around the shop and identify the socket size required for a job.

"Technicians expressed a need to have a socket storage layout with a place for semi-deep sockets, as well as the shallow and deep," says Jay Serpe, a Snap-on project manager. "Two-row trays have long been popular, and these new three-row trays are an innovation that will make locating the right tool easier and shave minutes off a task that can eat away at a tech's day."

Both the KA383 (3/8") and KA143 (1/4") are designed for chrome or impact sockets and come in fractional or metric sizes. The trays are available in four color options - red, black, extreme green and electric orange. Each tray has a printed pad with socket size on each post.

Find out more about the KA383 and KA143 by contacting your participating Snap-on franchisee or other representative, visiting www.snapon.com or calling toll-free 877-SNAPON-4 (877-762-7664).
