Snap-on was born out of a growing need for auto repair tools. It was the 1920s, and vehicles like the Model T had pushed cars into the mainstream. Joseph Johnson, an engineer living in Milwaukee, saw the need for easy-to-use car supplies, so he made a set of tools with interchangeable handles and sockets.
By 1923, Johnson patented his tools featuring “snap-on” abilities. People loved the versatile tools, and the brand spread across the U.S. New products were introduced over time, including a variety of pricey toolboxes.
