News Release: Snap-on's Third- Generation TRITON Scan Tool Takes Technicians from Start to Fixed

Includes Industry-Leading Coverage with Fast-Track Troubleshooting

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., May 15, 2025 – Snap-on® introduces TRITON™– their newest diagnostic platform designed to streamline workflow, enhance efficiency and increase productivity on every repair, taking technicians from start to fixed. TRITON features wireless technology for a fast, reliable connection in the bay, Fast-Track® Component Tests and code-based troubleshooting, a patented Snap-on exclusive that filters out complexity and presents one focused workflow. 

“The continuously evolving automotive world has created what is now the most challenging environment that diagnostic professionals have ever seen,” said Helen Cox, marketing and client services director, Snap-on Diagnostics. “The new TRITON scan tool is at the technician’s side for every vehicle that they see in the bay and takes the lead on every repair so there is no more wondering where to start. TRITON ensures that technicians have what they need to get through the job at hand, from the everyday repair to the unusual.”   

TRITON features Snap-on’s exclusive Fast-Track troubleshooting functionality to show how other technicians have tackled the same problems in the bay. Verified Real Fixes are harvested from billions of successful repair records. The patented Smart Data automatically selects only the PIDs related to the code that the technician is working on and flags which ones are out of range at idle. Instead of hundreds of possible readings, only the ones that matter are shown. 

Pre-filtered functional tests and technical service bulletins (TSBs) help confirm the technician is on the right path to repair. TRITON also features a two-channel scope with Fast-Track Guided Component Tests, providing the information needed to test components. It shows step by step where to hook up, how to hook up, known good waveforms and more, eliminating the guesswork and confirming the repair.

TRITON also includes comprehensive coverage with the breadth and depth of manufacturer-level capabilities for the codes, data and tests that technicians need. A complete vehicle scan function quickly identifies all codes for every system. Consistent navigation and terminology across vehicle makes, advanced data graphing and quick access to the most common specs and capacities sets Snap-on apart from other scan tools. 

With a sleek and streamlined design, rugged grip handles and a lightweight body, TRITON was specifically developed for the harshest shop environments. Its 10" capacitive color touchscreen display provides improved readability from any angle and superior visibility both indoors and out. With fast boot up and one-touch code scan and clear, technicians move quickly through the repair. The integrated two-channel lab scope has ample memory for verifying component failures and capturing intermittent glitches. 


TRITON is backed by industry-leading customer support, with U.S.-based agents ready to provide assistance throughout the workday. Detailed online training is always accessible, with live seminars and new product training from diagnostic experts, plus regular support from Snap-on representatives. There is also financing help available with flexible options to make TRITON affordable for diagnostic professionals at every level.
