SNAP-ON INCORPORATED
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 30, 1995.

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 28, 1996 have been made.
Management also believes that the results of operations for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 1996 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 28,
1996 and September 30, 1995 was $50.1 million and $50.4 million.

4. Interest paid for the thirty-nine week periods ended September 28,
1996 and September 30, 1995 was $8.5 million and $10.4 million.

5. On March 31, 1996, the Corporation acquired certain assets and
liabilities of the Automotive Service Equipment Division of FMC
Corporation. The acquired division was renamed the John Bean
Company. John Bean designs, manufactures, and sells high-quality
products for the under-car market. Pro forma results of operations
are not shown as the effect would not be material.

6. Distribution of shares in connection with the three-for-two split of
the Corporation's common stock was made on September 10, 1996. All
share-related amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect
this three-for-two split.

7. 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 ("TNRCC"), an agency of the State of Texas,
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 emissions-
testing contracts. The Guaranty was assigned to the lessor's lenders
(the "Lenders") as collateral. Pursuant to an Indemnity Agreement
entered into as of September 29, 1994, the Tejas Companies agreed to
reimburse the Corporation for any payments it made under the
Guaranty.

On May 1, 1995, the State of Texas enacted legislation designed to
terminate the centralized testing program described in the emissions-
testing contracts 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 Tejas
Companies have commenced litigation against the TNRCC and related
entities to assert their rights with respect to the emissions-testing
contracts, and the Corporation has intervened in such litigation to
protect its interests. In addition, the Corporation is a creditor in
the Tejas Companies' bankruptcy proceedings and will continue to take
steps to protect its interests in such proceedings.

The Corporation believes that it is probable that there will be
developments, prior to the end of the 1997 Texas legislative session
(approximately May 1997) to enable the Lease Obligations to
ultimately be satisfied. The 1997 legislative session is scheduled to
begin January 14, 1997. The primary basis for such a development
arises under the original contracts to perform centralized emissions
testing. Those contracts obligate the TNRCC 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. Fulfillment of such
obligations requires an appropriation of funds by the Texas
Legislature, which is subject to the political process. The TNRCC is
contractually obligated to seek such appropriation and has affirmed
such obligation. The Tejas Companies are pursuing the cost
reimbursement process described in the emissions-testing contracts.
A second potential basis is that the Lease Obligations could be
satisfied in part in various other ways including a sale of some or
all of the facilities.

The Corporation and the Lenders have been engaged in continuing
discussions concerning this matter, and they have reached an
agreement whereby the Lenders will forbear until at least December
31, 1996 from exercising their rights under the terms of the Guaranty
to cause the Corporation to pay all Lease Obligations to the Lenders
on an accelerated basis. The Corporation continues to make advances
under the Guaranty of approximately $1.8 million per month, which
have totaled $30.3 million through September 28, 1996. The
Corporation is discussing with the Lenders extending beyond December
31, 1996 the Lender s existing agreement to forbear from accelerating
the Lease Obligations. While the Lenders have agreed to forbear
until at least December 31, 1996, given the delay in resolving this
matter and other factors, the Corporation at June 29, 1996 recognized
the remaining net obligation under the Guaranty, which as of
September 28, 1996 is $63.5 million. This is included in Other Long-
term Liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In
addition, the Corporation has recorded as assets the monthly advances
and the other amounts expected to be received from the Tejas
Companies under the Indemnity Agreement. These net receivables total
$93.8 million as of September 28, 1996 and are included in Intangible
and Other Assets. Described previously are mechanisms by which the
Tejas Companies may receive funds to enable them to satisfy their
contractual obligation to the Corporation under the Indemnity
Agreement. The Corporation believes that recovery of the net
receivables from the Tejas Companies is probable, and it will make an
ongoing assessment of the likelihood of realization of such
receivables.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview: The Corporation posted record third quarter and nine-month
sales, net earnings, and earnings per share. Net earnings for the third
quarter of 1996 increased 16.8% over the year ago quarter on a net sales
increase of 12.3%. For the first nine months, 1996 net earnings increased
15.1% over the comparable 1995 period on a net sales increase of 13.9%.
Earnings per share for the third quarter and first nine months increased
18.6% and 17.3% over 1995 comparable periods.

The third quarter's results benefited from several focused acquisitions,
higher U.S. dealer van channel sales, and strong sales growth in the
company's European segment. The quarter's results also reflected
continuing improvements in operating efficiencies.

Sales: Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $347.2 million, an
increase of 12.3% over third quarter 1995 sales of $309.1 million. Net
sales for the first nine months of 1996 were $1.076 billion, an increase
of 13.9% over 1995 nine-month sales of $945.0 million.

North American sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $268.4 million, an
increase of 6.9% over third quarter 1995 sales of $251.1 million. North
American sales for the first nine months of 1996 were $822.0 million, an
increase of 8.8% over nine-month 1995 sales of $755.8 million. Excluding
the acquisitions of the John Bean Company and Consolidated Devices, Inc.,
sales increased 1% in the third quarter. Sales increases in the dealer
van channel were offset by the weakness in the Industrial business.

European sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $59.4 million, an
increase of 55.9% over third quarter 1995 sales of $38.1 million. For the
first nine months of 1996, European sales were $195.7 million, an increase
of 51.9% over nine-month 1995 sales of $128.8 million. Excluding the
acquisitions of Herramientas Eurotools S.A. and the John Bean Company,
sales increased 16% for the third quarter. Emissions-testing equipment
sales in the United Kingdom and growth in sales through the dealer van
channel both contributed to the increase.

Other International sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $19.4
million, a decrease of 2.4% from third quarter 1995 sales of $19.8
million. Other International sales for the first nine months of 1996 were
$58.4 million, a decrease of 3.3% from nine-month 1995 sales of $60.4
million. For the third quarter, sales in Japan were negatively affected
by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the yen, and general
weakness in the Japanese economy. Australia continued to record sales
gains.

Earnings: Earnings for the third quarter of 1996 were $30.8 million, an
increase of 16.8% over third quarter 1995 earnings of $26.3 million. Third
quarter earnings per share increased to $.51, an 18.6% increase over third
quarter 1995 earnings per share of $.43. Earnings for the first nine
months of 1996 were $94.9 million, an increase of 15.1% over nine-month
1995 earnings of $82.5 million. Earnings per share for the first nine
months of 1996 rose to $1.56 per share, a 17.3% increase over nine-month
1995 earnings per share of $1.33.

Operating expenses: As a percentage of net sales, third quarter total
operating expenses decreased to 40.7% in 1996 from 41.8% in 1995. As a
percentage of net sales, nine-month operating expenses decreased to 40.2%
in 1996 from 41.9% in 1995. Benefits from continuing general cost
reduction activities, from facilities consolidations implemented over the
past several years, and from a change in business mix because of recent
acquisitions all contributed to the improvement.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents increased to $19.5 million at the
end of the third quarter from $16.2 million at the end of 1995. Working
capital was $642.8 million at the end of the third quarter versus $610.6
million at the end of 1995. At the end of the quarter, the Corporation
had a $100 million revolving credit facility to support the issuance of
commercial paper.

In September 1994, the Corporation filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that allows the Corporation to issue
from time to time up to $300 million of unsecured indebtedness. In
October 1995, the Corporation issued $100 million of its notes to the
public. The shelf registration gives the Corporation financing flexibility
to operate the business.

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 $619.4 million at
the end of the third quarter from $610.1 million at the end of 1995. In
the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation executed an additional $50.0
million securitization of its receivables discussed below.

In October 1995, the Corporation entered into agreements that provide for
the sale, without recourse, of an undivided interest in a pool of certain
of its accounts receivable to a third party financing institution. These
agreements, which include subsequent amendments, provide for a maximum of
$200 million of such accounts receivable to be sold and remain outstanding
at any one time. Under these agreements, $100.0 million of interest-
bearing installments were sold, on a revolving basis, in October 1995.
During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation sold an additional $50.0
million of interest-bearing receivables under these agreements on a
revolving basis. The proceeds were used to pay down debt, and for working
capital and general corporate purposes.

The majority of the Corporation's accounts receivable involve customers'
extended credit and lease purchases of higher-value products. Other
receivables include those from dealers, industrial customers, and
government entities.

Inventories: Inventories increased by 11.5% to $279.2 million at the end
of the third quarter from $250.4 million at the end of 1995. The increase
was due to acquisitions and to several operations preparing for fourth
quarter promotions and product rollouts.

Liabilities: Total short-term and long-term debt was $170.3 million at
the end of the third quarter compared with $170.9 million at the end of
1995.

Average shares outstanding: Average shares outstanding increased slightly
to 61.0 million in 1996's third quarter compared with 60.6 million in last
year's third quarter. For the first nine months of 1996, average shares
outstanding declined to 61.0 million versus 61.8 million in the comparable
nine months of 1995. The Corporation repurchased 373,500 shares of its
common stock in the third quarter of 1996. Year-to-date, the company has
acquired 465,750 shares.

Stock split and dividend increase:
On June 28, 1996, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared an 11.1%
increase in the quarterly dividend on common stock and approved a three-
for-two stock split.

The new quarterly dividend, paid on September 10, 1996, to shareholders of
record on August 20, 1996, is $.20 per share (post-split), or $.80 per
share on an annualized basis.

The three-for-two stock split, which resulted in one additional share
issued for every two shares of the Corporation's stock outstanding, was
distributed on September 10, 1996, to shareholders of record on August 20,
1996. Cash was distributed in lieu of fractional shares.

Other matters: Refer to Note 7 for discussion of a guaranty of lease
obligations relating to emissions testing facilities that were to be used
under a contract with the State of Texas to perform testing services.
Texas has terminated the program to conduct such testing services, and the
Corporation is making payments monthly under such guaranty.
