Snap-on is adding to its family of cordless tools, which includes ratchets, drills, wrenches, saws and screwdrivers. All include variable speed triggers for better control and many feature MicroLithium batteries that are lightweight, long-lasting and interchangeable between all matching-voltage Snap-on MicroLithium tools, according to an announcement. The latest releases are an inline drill and hex drive ratchet.
