Your whole van documented.Warranties and claims, handled.
Snapproof is the fastest way for HVAC techs to document every tool, track every warranty, and turn a stolen van or a dead gauge set into a one-tap, insurance-ready claim. Snap three photos and AI captures brand, serial, receipt, warranty, and price in about 30 seconds.
Your van holds $5,000 to $8,000 of gauges, a recovery machine, and a vacuum pump before you count cordless. When it gets hit, insurance pays depreciated value unless you can itemize what you paid. When a gauge set dies, the warranty is worthless without the receipt. And come February, the Section 179 deduction on all of it is a guess. Most techs tried a spreadsheet once and quit at tool 12.
Tools we see most in your trade: Fieldpiece & Testo gauges, recovery machines, vacuum pumps, Milwaukee M18 & DeWalt cordless, manifolds.
Three photos. Thirty seconds. No typing.
Snap the tool, the spec plate, and the receipt. The AI reads brand, model, serial, warranty terms, and price for you. It’s why contractors who quit the spreadsheet apps actually finish with Snapproof.
No receipt? No problem.Snapproof estimates the tool’s value from the brand and model, so the gear you bought years ago still counts toward a claim and your total.

Digital manifolds and recovery machines fail, and most carry a warranty you forget you have. Snapproof tracks every expiration and keeps the receipt, so you claim instead of re-buy.

A bad morning,handled in two taps.
Picture a Monday. You walk out to the van and the lock is popped, the gauges and the recovery machine gone. Instead of guessing what was in there, you open Snapproof, filter to 'Van #1,' and the whole list is right there with serials and values. The claim packet is in the adjuster's inbox before your nine o'clock.
Truck got hit.Got paid in full.
Truck got hit in March. Came out at 5am to find the side window busted and most of my Milwaukees gone. State Farm wanted an itemized list. I had Snapproof open in the parking lot, generated the PDF, and sent it before the cop finished the report. Got paid replacement value on every tool. Saved me about $14k versus guessing from memory.
My truck got broken into and insurance paid me 40% of value because I couldn't prove what was in it. I'd tried Sortly before and gave up after 12 tools because typing every model and serial took forever. Got 80 tools into Snapproof in one afternoon.
