This style of Snap on was well known for shattering. The newly updated ones (3-4 years ago? Maybe a little longer than that) are supposed to have solved that, but time will tell.

Urethane degrades over time it's simply the nature of the chemistry. This isn't uncommon. It happened when Stanley owned Com-po-cast and it's going to happen to Trusty-Cook's, Snap-On's, Harbor Freight's and anybody else's urethane hammers in due time. The condition this occurs most frequently on is called white death. When the hammer starts to turn white this indicates that the hammer will soon fade.
