Panasonic Toughbook Integrates Snap-on's Diagnostic And Component Testing Capabilities

Snap-on Incorporated is a global leader in professional tools, diagnostics and equipment. Snap-on has assembled the industry's most complete portfolio of technology including hand tools, power tools, industrial tools, tool storage products, tool boxes, automotive diagnostics and shop equipment.

Snap-on's ShopStream is a breakthrough workflow process designed for both Mitchell 1 and ShopKey—the industry's finest software suites. ShopStream integrates the technicians' diagnostic hardware and software with the front office's business management software and repair information system. Everyone in the shop can now be literally on "the same page" with every vehicle, including repair history, current information, service recommendations and approval, parts ordering, service diagnostics, TSBs and Recall information, component operation, final invoice and details of service/repairs.

The rugged Panasonic Toughbook 18 has been the favorite of automotive diagnostic and repair shops due to its industry-leading reliability, touchscreen/handwriting-friendly LCD and ability to withstand the drops, bangs, jolts, spills and vibrations that are part and parcel of the service area. Today, the Toughbook 19 succeeds the model 18 with expanded wireless capabilities and a patented anti-glare coated LCD for superior daylight viewing.
