KENOSHA, Wis. – July 12, 2010 – Snap-on’s Blue-Point® storage units are priced to allow new technicians to purchase their first tool box and get to work, so they can get their second one sooner.
“Our Blue-Point storage units are built to last, providing the space you need and security you can rely on,” said Jay Serpe, product manager for Snap-on. “When techs are just starting out, they usually end up having to make some kind of sacrifice. At Snap-on, we don’t think that way. Our Blue-Point storage units are strong, secure and affordable, giving new technicians a great head start on their career. And since our storage units are built to last, they will also have a great asset when it is time to buy their next box.”
