NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in Snap-on
Incorporated's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1994.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to a fair statement of
financial condition and results of operations for the thirteen and
thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995 have been made.
Management also believes that the results of operations for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

2. Snap-on Incorporated normally declares and pays in cash four regular,
quarterly dividends. However, the third quarter dividend in each
year is declared in June, giving rise to two regular quarterly
dividends appearing in the second quarter statements and
correspondingly, three regular quarterly dividends appearing in the
first twenty-six weeks' statements.

3. Income tax paid for the thirty-nine week periods ended September 30,
1995 and October 1, 1994 was $50.4 million and $47.6 million.

4. Interest paid for the thirty-nine week periods ended September 30,
1995 and October 1, 1994 was $10.4 million and $8.7 million.

5. Snap-on Incorporated (the "Corporation") has made previous disclosures
with respect to a guarantee of certain lease obligations, including
most recently in a Form 8-K Current Report filed on September 27, 1995.

Prior to the disposition of Systems Control, Inc. by a subsidiary of
the Corporation on September 29, 1994, Systems Control, Inc.'s single-
purpose subsidiaries, Tejas Testing Technology One, L.C. and Tejas
Testing Technology Two, L.C. (the "Tejas Companies"), entered into two
seven-year contracts with the Texas Natural Resources Conservation
Commission, an agency of the State of Texas ("TNRCC"), to perform
automotive emissions testing in the Dallas/Fort Worth and Southeast
regions of Texas in a centralized manner in accordance with the
federal Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") guidelines relating
to "I/M 240" test-only facilities. The Corporation guaranteed payment
(the "Guaranty") of the Tejas Companies' obligations under an Agreement
for Lease and a seven year Lease Agreement, each dated June 22, 1994,
in the amount of approximately $98.8 million plus an interest factor
(the "Lease Obligations"), pursuant to which the Tejas Companies leased
the facilities (and associated testing equipment) necessary to perform
the emission testing contracts. The Guaranty was assigned to the
lessor's lenders (the "Lenders") as collateral.

On February 1, 1995, the State of Texas suspended the centralized
emissions testing program described in the emissions testing contracts.
On May 1, 1995, the State of Texas enacted legislation that terminated
the centralized testing program and directed the Governor of the State
of Texas to implement a new program after negotiations with the EPA.
On September 12, 1995, the Tejas Companies filed bankruptcy petitions
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of Texas (Austin Division).

The Corporation and the Lenders have been engaged in continuing
discussions concerning this matter, and the Lenders have not exercised
their rights under the terms of the Guaranty to cause the Corporation
to pay all Lease Obligations to the Lenders on an accelerated basis.
Further, the Corporation reached an agreement whereby the Lenders will
forbear from accelerating the Lease Obligations until at least December
31, 1995. The Corporation has been making monthly payments on the
Lease Obligations since May 1995 and has paid approximately $10.4
million to date. It is expected that these payments will total
approximately $14 million through December 31, 1995. The Corporation
is discussing with the Lenders extending beyond December 31, 1995 the
Lender's existing agreement to forbear from accelerating the Lease
Obligations.

While the Corporation previously believed it was probable that there
would be developments, prior to December 31, 1995, to enable the Tejas
Companies to have the ability to ultimately satisfy the Lease
Obligations, the Corporation currently believes, based upon subsequent
events and the uncertain Federal and State political climate, that
such developments may not occur until during the legislative session
scheduled to begin January 14, 1997. One potential basis for such a
development arises under the original contracts to perform centralized
emissions testing. Those contracts obligate the TNRCC to purchase the
Tejas Companies' testing facilities or to reimburse costs that the
Tejas Companies incurred in the construction and implementation of the
centralized testing program and have not recovered through the sale of
the testing facilities to a third party. However, fulfillment of the
TNRCC's purchase or reimbursement obligation requires an appropriation
of funds by the Texas Legislature, which is subject to the political
process. The TNRCC is contractually obligated to seek such appropria-
tion and has affirmed such obligation. A second potential basis is
that the TNRCC's obligation could be satisfied in whole or in part in
various other ways including an arrangement negotiated among the
State of Texas, the Tejas Companies and the Corporation under which,
for example, State agencies would use the testing facilities and/or
some of the facilities would be used in a new emissions testing
program developed in accordance with the May legislation. Whether or
not the new emissions testing program announced by the Governor will
ultimately include substantial use of the testing facilities is
currently unknown and depends, among other things, on negotiations
between the EPA and the State of Texas concerning the manner in which
the new program will satisfy federal requirements, EPA policies that
have reflected a strong preference for test-only testing facilities
and potential federal legislation that may impact those policies.
The emissions testing program announced on November 10, 1995 by the
Governor appears to include little use of the facilities. Accordingly,
at the present time, satisfaction of the Lease Obligations through
significant use of the facilities in a new program now appears
unlikely.

If the Lenders exercise acceleration rights or the Corporation deter-
mines it is probable they will do so, then the remaining Lease
Obligations will be treated as a liability of the Corporation until
they are discharged. However, in such event, the Corporation
believes there are ways by which it will have the opportunity to
recover funds it delivers under the Guaranty. Described above are
two ways by which the Tejas Companies may receive funds to enable
them to discharge the Lease Obligations, which would benefit the
Corporation to the extent it has satisfied the Lease Obligations. In
addition, if the Corporation must satisfy the Lease Obligations and
the TNRCC does not purchase the test facilities, reimburse costs or
otherwise honor its contractual obligations, then the Lender's
interests in the testing facilities and equipment ultimately accrue
to the Corporation.

Accordingly, the Corporation has not established any liability on its
balance sheet in respect of its obligations under the Guaranty. Based
upon discussions with Texas officials and management's belief that the
State of Texas will take sufficient action favorable to the Corpora-
tion, by appropriating funds to enable the TNRCC to fulfill its
contractual obligations or otherwise, to enable the State of Texas to
honor in all material respects the TNRCC's contractual obligations,
it is management's opinion that the Guaranty (and a related Capital
Subscription Agreement that relates to the same obligation) is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's
financial condition or results of operations.

6. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current-year presentation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview: Net earnings for the third quarter of 1995 increased 16.0% over
the year ago quarter on a net sales increase of 11.0%. For the first nine
months, 1995 net earnings increased 15.2% over the comparable 1994 period
on a net sales increase of 7.9%. Earnings per share for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1995 increased 22.6% and 19.0% over 1994
comparable periods. These results reflect broad-based strength across
virtually all of the Corporation's markets and product lines, including
both the North American and European hand tool markets, diagnostic and
shop equipment sales, industrial and other international markets.

Sales: Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $309.1 million,
compared with $278.4 million in the third quarter of 1994. Net sales for
the first nine months of 1995 were $945.0 million, compared with $875.9
million for the 1994 comparable period.

North American sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $251.1 million, an
increase of 10.6% over third quarter 1994 sales of $227.0 million. North
American sales for the first nine months of 1995 were $755.8 million, an
increase of 11.2% over nine month 1994 sales of $679.7 million. The third
quarter's results reflect continued sales increases in the U.S. core hand
tool and equipment diagnostic businesses, an improvement in the
Corporation's industrial business, and increased sales in Canada.
Acquisitions made in 1994 contributed incremental 1995 third quarter and
nine-month sales of $8.1 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

European sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $38.2 million, an
increase of 10.6% over third quarter 1994 sales of $34.5 million.
European sales for the first nine months of 1995 were $128.8 million, a
decrease of 14.2% from nine-month 1994 sales of $150.2 million. Nine-
month 1994 sales benefited from approximately $32 million of sales related
to the German emissions-testing program which was substantially completed
during the second quarter of 1994.

Other International sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $19.8
million, an increase of 17.2% over third quarter 1994 sales of $16.9
million. Other International sales for the first nine months of 1995 were
$60.4 million, an increase of 31.3% over nine-month 1994 sales of $46.0
million. The majority of Other International sales are in Japan and
Australia, which continue to experience good sales growth. Sales
benefited in both periods from favorable currency translation.

Earnings: Earnings for the third quarter of 1995 were $26.3 million,
compared with $22.7 million in the third quarter of 1994. Per share
earnings for the third quarter rose to $.65 per share in 1995 from $.53
per share in 1994. Earnings for the first nine months of 1995 were $82.5
million in 1995, compared with $71.6 million in 1994. Per share earnings
for the first nine months rose to $2.00 per share in 1995 compared to
$1.68 per share last year.

Operating expenses: As a percentage of net sales, third quarter operating
expenses net of finance income decreased to 36.4% in 1995 from 39.0% in
1994. As a percentage of net sales, nine-month operating expenses net of
finance income decreased to 36.8% in 1995 from 38.3% in 1994. This
reduction resulted from a higher sales level, productivity improvements,
and cost reduction initiatives, including the consolidation of certain
operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity: Cash and short-term investments increased to $14.3 million at
the end of the third quarter from $9.0 million at the end of 1994.
Working capital was $584.7 million at the end of the third quarter versus
$635.2 million at the end of 1994. The decrease was primarily due to the
completion of a $100 million share repurchase program that was primarily
funded with short-term debt. At the end of the quarter, the Corporation
had a $100 million revolving credit facility and bank lines of credit
totaling $150 million to support its commercial paper. As of October 6,
1995, in conjunction with the Corporation selling notes in a public
offering on October 3, 1995 and selling accounts receivable on October 6,
1995, the bank lines of credit totaling $150 million have been eliminated.

The Corporation utilized $100 million of its $300 million shelf
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue debt
securities. On October 3, 1995, the Corporation sold $100 million
aggregate principal amount of its notes to the public. The notes require
payment of interest on a semiannual basis at a rate of 6 5/8% and mature
on October 1, 2005. The net proceeds of such sale (approximately $98.7
million) were used to repay a portion of the Corporation's outstanding
commercial paper and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Corporation has sufficient sources of liquidity to support current and
future working capital requirements, finance capital expenditures and pay
dividends.

Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable increased to $643.8 million at
the end of the third quarter from $568.4 million at the end of 1994. This
increase coincides with the current sales level and an increase in leasing
activity related to equipment sales. The majority of accounts receivable
involve customers' extended credit and lease purchases of higher-value
products. Other receivables include those from dealers, industrial and
international customers, and government.

On October 6, 1995, the Corporation entered into certain purchase and sale
agreements (the "Sale Agreements"), which provide for the sale from time
to time by the Corporation of an undivided interest in a pool of certain
of its accounts receivable to a third party financing institution. The
Sale Agreements provide for a maximum of $150 million of such accounts
receivable to be sold and remain outstanding at any one time. Also, on
October 6, 1995, the Corporation sold $100 million of interest bearing
installment receivables under these Sale Agreements.

Inventories: Inventories increased to $250.1 million at the end of the
third quarter from $229.0 million at the end of 1994. This increase
coincides with the current sales level and supports the United Kingdom
vehicle emissions-testing program scheduled to begin on January 1, 1996.

Liabilities: Total short-term and long-term debt was $268.5 million at
the end of the quarter compared with $119.9 million at the end of 1994.
The increase was primarily due to purchases of the Corporation's stock
under the share repurchase program. Also contributing to the increase, the
Corporation increased its ownership in EDGE Diagnostic Systems from 30 to
90 percent during the second quarter of 1995. Total debt to total capital
was 26.9% at the end of the quarter compared with 13.5% at the end of
1994.

Average shares outstanding: Average shares outstanding decreased to 40.4
million for the third quarter and to 41.2 million for the first nine
months of 1995, compared with 42.9 million and 42.8 million for the same
periods last year, respectively. The decrease was due to the completion
of the Corporation's $100 million share repurchase program in the second
quarter of 1995.
