Make FODa thing of the past
FOD stands for “Foreign Object Damage” and refers to the damage, deterioration, impairment and much more, caused by foreign objects.
The aircraft industry in particular is confronted by FOD because of increasingly higher speeds and big engines. Industries like aerospace, storage, shipping, military and similar branches are affected by the occurrence of loose objects, debris and even animals. Even the smallest parts can cause great damage. This might be paper clips, pens, packaging, stones, sand, ash, building materials, birds and much more.
Due to today’s multitude of existing industries, dropping tools is one of the 10 main causes of accidents involving injury or even death.
The safety of you and your workers must be guaranteed for this very reason. In addition to the applicable industry regulations, people must be protected from falling objects.
Tool safety helps to prevent FOD

This includes the direct protection by the right tool backup to keep the risk of injury low, but also prevent the tool loss. In several areas, dropping a tool, for example in machines, shafts or water can cause devastating damage. The obtained user safety reduces the risk many times and allows efficient and productive work. The Use is appropriate for all areas of work at height, but also deep in the ground. This includes works on bridges, overhead power lines, oil rigs, aircrafts, buildings, caves and much more. For this purpose, our fastende tools are designed precisely.

The snap-on tool lanyards are obtainable in various designs. They can be attached to an operator or at a suitable point depending on the tool weight.

The prevention of FOD can not be of sufficient importance. Snap-on takes its responsibility as a tool brand and offers FOD tools.

Four holes are better (and safer) than one. The risk of falling apart is increased for sockets with only one side lock. And they do not want to take that risk in a few hundred feet. On all four sides, our sockets, adapters and extensions have a locking hole. So the sockets do not slip. This reduces the risk of damage to humans and material.
