Snap-on® ECARB042 450 Lumen Work Light/300 Lumen Flashlight – A top customer choice, this convertible work light/flashlight is the first in its class to use bi-directional USB-C standard for charging.  With its unique 2-in-1 design, the user can quickly convert between a standard flashlight and wider flood light with a simple twist. The ECARB042 has two built-in magnets, variable dimming with memory, battery indicator, and comes in red, green, orange and hi-vis yellow.Snap-on CT761A 14.4 V 3/8" Drive MicroLithium Cordless Impact – This powerful cordless impact wrench is compact allowing it to get into hard-to-reach places. At just 2.5 pounds, it can deliver 120 ft-lb of torque and produce 2,500 RPM of free speed with a 2.0 Ah battery for longer run time. The CT761 is a technician favorite and is perfect for working in cramped engine spaces, on fender bolts, water pump pulley bolts and for seat removal.Snap-on 1/2" SBF80A Drive Dual 80® Technology Bent Handle Flex-Head Ratchet – Dual 80 Technology ensures seven teeth are in contact with the gear at all times to make the ratchet strong and durable. The sealed head keeps dirt and contaminants out, and the flexible head makes getting into tight work spaces easier.Snap-on 14.4 V CTLAR761 MicroLithium Cordless 500 Angular Light – The variable brightness work light has a built-in hook and two magnets, as well as a tether point to hold it in position for any job. Couple it with the CTLMAG-BOOT accessory for maximum magnetic flexibility. The CTLAR761 will run for four hours at maximum brightness or eight hours at 40 percent, has a battery fuel gauge and will flash to indicate when there is less than five percent power remaining.Snap-on SGAB1000BR 10-piece 3/32–3/8" SAE and SGABM900BR 9-piece 2–10mm Metric Ball Hex Instinct® Handle Screwdriver Sets – These easy to hold Instinct handle screwdrivers offer precise, comfortable turning power versus traditional hex wrenches. The wide, tri-lobe handle design combined with high strength steel ball hex tips that offer up to 25 degrees of access prove ideal for fasteners in difficult to reach areas.
