Recent upgrades to Snap-on’s PT series of die grinders and cut-off tool now provide more power and speed while delivering comfort and performance, the company says. The improvements are also said to have made the PT series lighter and more efficient.

A new 4 1/2-in. angle grinder has also been added to the series. All the die grinders in the series have a built-in, 10-position speed control and an improved dual tapered collet system with less run-out and better bit retention.

The die grinders and cut-off tool also feature an ergonomic Alcryn grip for increased comfort and a chrome-plated-steel clamp nut for improved durability. Each upgraded tool’s power bow ranges from one-third to one-half horsepower using patented thermally-balanced air motors, which keep tool temperature consistent. They all have rear exhaust which directs exhaust away from the work area.
