Tool control that puts you in command
For technicians, lost tools can kill a productive workday with wasted time. That’s why Snap-on has kept technicians organized and productive since 1920. Now, over 100 years later, Snap-on offers the most advanced form of tool control in the industry: Tool Control Level 5.
From seamlessly integrated access control to fully automated systems that automatically monitor who has which tools and where they’re working, Level 5 improves every aspect of tool management. And it works with your crew, never against them, to decrease downtime and improve productivity. That way everyone can concentrate on what matters most – the job at hand.
The Snap-on Level 5 ATC system works at the speed you do
Open the box, get the tools, go to work. Other systems require additional steps to scan or log activity. We do it automatically so you don’t waste time, and you don’t need to depend on other steps to insure accurate results.
Snap-on Tool Control Level 5 ATC system boxes are network-ready, either through Ethernet or wireless connection. That means you can review activity at all the Level 5 ATC boxes in your location from a central computer—you don’t have to physically inspect each box.
Features
- No individual tool scanning required
- No RFID tags to install or replace
- No limitations on tool size—from 1/4” screwdriver bit to as long as it fits in a drawer
- Intuitive interface—easy-to-use touchscreen
- Audible voice confirmation of tool removal and replacement
- Automatic locking
- Errors announced and displayed for incorrect tool position or drawer not closed
Powerful Administrative Software
Tool Control Level 5 ATC boxes are networked, either wirelessly or by Ethernet and managed by powerful, easy-to-use software. The administrator can view all the boxes on the network, whether they are on or off-line, and the status of each box—including the number of tools issued, the active users, and all history. System alerts—sending email or text messages to supervisors, for example—can be customized for lost or broken tools or calibration requirements.
Custom reports can be created on each tool’s frequency of use, inspection and calibration dates, and other specific location requirements.

Select and organised for your crew's distinct need for speed.
The more organised you are, the easier it is to get the job done right. Starting with a complete tool audit conducted by a Snap-on Solutioneer, we’ll help you determine the level of tool control requirements you need. From roll cabinets to carts and can add a specialized tool set designed with your specific applications in mind. Implementing proper tool control can improve productivity, control inventory, reduce losses and standardize work.
Custom Kitting
No matter how big or small the application, Snap-on’s robust, flexible and scalable capabilities enable us to create a versatile range of kitting solutions – from stationary, mobile and transportable sets and much more. We supply kits for everything from servicing copy machines, to maintaining and repairing tanks, helicopters, oil rigs and jumbo jets. Standard or custom, large or small – from our state of the art kitting centre, Snap-on does it all.
Tool Storage
Proper organization allows your team to find what they are looking for, while keeping tools safe. Snap-on can provide a complete tool audit to help you determine the best tool storage product to meet your needs. We even offer mobile solutions – allowing you to take your tools where you need them.
Mobility
Sometimes you have to take your tools ‘on the road’ to get the job done. That doesn’t mean you have to throw your tools into a bag and throw organization out the window. Our comprehensive offering of mobile tool solutions, including all-weather mobile tool chests and dog boxes, keep you mobile—and organised.
When your crew sees the tools they need, you'll see output improve.
Finding the right tool for the job can take time. By increasing tool visibility, we decrease the time it takes for your technicians to find the tool they need. We make it easier for missing tools to be noticed and returned. Our selection of high-visibility tool handles, custom color foam inserts, toolbox organizers, and pegboards don’t just raise the visibility of your tools, they raise the productivity of your team.
Visual Control Cabinets
The Snap-on® Visual Control Cabinet (VCC) gives you a full view of your tools for instant accountability and inventory management. Available in 2 sizes, these cabinets can hold an extensive number of tools securely with keyed or keyless entry. Customisation is available through the optional interior tool control functions such as foam inserts or peg boards. With an optional rolling cart or rolling cab, you can position the visual control cabinet close to the work so your technicians always have the right tools at the ready.
Safety
When things are easy to see, problems are easier to notice. Our Visual Control Cabinets are equipped with Makrolon AR Polycarbonate windows (the same material used in jet fighter cockpits) for “at-a-glance” tool management that doesn’t compromise security. It also keeps the tool chest high, reducing the need to bend and stretch for tools, creating ergonomic working environment. Oil & Gas – On offshore platforms, each level is given a unique colour of Teflon coated tools to help differentiate the tools of one level from the tools of another, ensuring the right tools are used for the job and maximizing productivity.
Compliance
Aviation – Foreign Object Debris costs the aerospace industry millions of pounds a year in damage to equipment and personnel. Using a Visual Control Cabinet or Storage Cage makes it easy to eliminate FOD. After maintenance, technicians can ensure that every tool is accounted for with a simple visual inspection.
Keep your tools secure, organised and in the hands of the technicians who need them.
Don’t get locked in to using keys that can be lost or shared. Our tool storage units have Keyless Access Control, which means your teams have access to just the tools they need. Our proprietary software manages tool storage unit access at the individual user level, allowing either stand-alone or networked control.
Safety
Access Control is all about security. That means giving you the access you need, in all the ways you need it, including granting access by time, user and date. Our system automatically notes who opened the box, and for how long. It even records any unauthorized attempts to access the tool storage unit. And with keyless administrative access, you never have to worry about locking yourself out from a day’s work.
Alpha Box
Alpha Box™ is a proven tool control solution that delivers access control with upgrade potential. Each box features keyless entry with employee badges for convenience, safety and security. The CAD-developed tool control foam in each drawer provides superior organization and secure tool control management.
Compliance
Keeping industry compliant means keeping your tools out of the wrong hands. By eliminating keys, which can be easily lost or stolen, Snap-on stops tool shrinkage and reduces the downtime caused by missing tools. By increasing the accountability of your techs without impeding tool access for authorized users, we make staying compliant a snap.
Keep track of your crew's tools and where they use them, without losing track of time.
