October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Snap-on Tools is getting into gear by joining forces with the McGrath Foundation to raise a staggering $250,000. How? Through the sale of their limited-edition Pink Tool Sets! Yes, pink – because real professionals support a great cause, all while wielding some seriously high-quality tools.
Snap-on’s “Socket to Breast Cancer” campaign isn’t just a business move – it’s personal. With breast cancer touching the lives of so many, including members of the Snap-on family, this initiative goes beyond pink products. Every sale of the Pink Tool Set helps fund McGrath Breast Care Nurses, ensuring no one faces breast cancer alone.
Why Breast Cancer Awareness Hits Close to Home
Professional race car driver and Snap-on ambassador, Matty Hill, is at the forefront of the campaign, not just because of his racing career but because the cause is deeply personal to him. “Breast cancer affects so many lives,” Hill said, “and I’m honored to use my platform in motorsports with Snap-on Tools to raise much-needed funds for the McGrath Foundation.” Hill shared that his wife’s aunt lost her battle with breast cancer, a reality many families face daily.
“This Snap-on Pink Tool Set is more than just a set of tools; it’s a way for the automotive community to give back to something that impacts countless families,” Matty continued.

A Tool with a Purpose
Snap-on’s Pink Tool Sets include everything from hammers and pliers to screwdriver sets and ratchets. These tools are not only functional but symbolic of support and solidarity in the fight against breast cancer. And with every purchase, a portion of the proceeds goes directly to the McGrath Foundation, funding Breast Care Nurses across Australia.
Paul Lynch, National Sales Manager for Snap-on, explained the significance of the campaign for him personally. “As someone whose Mum has been affected by breast cancer, this partnership is incredibly meaningful to me. It’s about supporting families like mine who have faced the emotional and physical challenges of breast cancer. Knowing that Snap-on is raising vital funds to help ensure more families have access to a McGrath Breast Care Nurse is something I’m truly proud of.”

I’m proud to partner with Australia’s leading automotive tools company that equips professionals with the best tools in the industry and actively gives back to the community.”
