   of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the
   interim periods presented.  All adjustments, other than adjustments to the
   accrual of expenses related to the discontinued business which is included
   as a current liability on the balance sheet, are normal and recurring. 
   All items stated herein are subject to year-end audit.

   MATERIAL CONTINGENCIES:

   A)     Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk.  

   To meet the financing needs of consumers of its collision repair and
   engine rebuilding products, the Company is, in the normal course of
   business, a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. 
   The instruments are guarantees of notes payable to financing institutions
   arranged by the Company.  The Company performs credit reviews on all such
   guarantees.  These guarantees extend for periods of up to six years and
   expire in decreasing amounts through 2000.  The amount guaranteed to each
   institution is contractually limited to a portion of the amount financed
   in a given year.  The notes are collateralized by the equipment financed. 
   Proceeds from the resale of recovered equipment have generally been 80% to
   90% of repurchased notes.

   The maximum credit risk to the Company at June 29, 1996 was approximately
   $2,800,000.

   B)     Litigation

   The Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims and administrative
   actions arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of
   management, the Company's  liability, if any, under any pending litigation
   or administrative proceeding would not materially affect its financial
   condition or operations.

   C)     Environmental Claims

   From time to time the Company is identified as a potentially responsible
   party in environmental matters, primarily related to waste disposal sites,
   which contain residuals from the manufacturing process that were
   previously disposed of by the Company in accordance with applicable
   regulations in effect at the time of disposal.  Materials generated by the
   Company at these sites have been small and claims against the Company have
   been handled on a de minimis basis. In addition, the Company has
   indemnified purchasers of property previously sold by the Company against
   any environmental damage which may have existed at the time of the sale. 
   In the opinion of management, the Company's liability, if any, under any
   pending administrative proceeding, claim, or investigation, would not
   materially affect its financial condition or operations.

   ITEM 2:     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
               and Results of Operations

   Results of Operations

   Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $17.9 million, up 1.8% over
   the same period in 1995.  Sales originating in North America were up 8.0%
   from 1995 levels to $12.1 million for the quarter compared to $11.2
   million in the same period a year earlier.  European sales for the second
   quarter of 1996 were $5.8 million, a 7.9% decline from the $6.3 million
   recorded in the second quarter of 1995.

   Net sales for the six months ended June 29, 1996 were $35.5 million
   compared to $36.1 million for the 1995 period, a decrease of 1.6%.  Net
   sales originating in North America rose 3.1% while European net sales
   declined 10.5%.

   Gross profit margins in North America were 30.5% for the second quarter of
   1996 compared to 28.1% for the same period in 1995.  Margins in Europe
   were 46.2% for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 49.8% for the same
   period in 1995.  Consolidated gross profit margins were 35.6% for the
   second quarter of 1996 compared to 35.9% for the same period in 1995.  The
   six month results showed an improvement in 1996 with 36.7% gross profit
   margins compared to 36.1% for the same period in 1995.

   Operating expenses as a percent of net sales decreased from 31.3% for the
   first six months of 1995 to 30.6% for the comparable period in 1996, and
   from 31.4% for the second quarter of 1995 to 30.1% for the second quarter
   of 1996.  Actual expenses were lower in 1996 than in 1995, with the
   majority of the decrease in administrative and marketing expense due to
   cost controls.

   Interest expense declined 9.0% for the three months ended June 29, 1996
   versus the comparable period in 1995 as a result of reduced interest
   rates.

   Financial Condition

   Continued improvements in cost control and balance sheet management are
   expected.  The Company expects its liquidity requirements will be met by
   cash generated from operations and from its credit facilities.

   Short-term credit facilities in Europe are considered sufficient to
   supplement cash from operating activities to satisfy liquidity
   requirements there.  Changes in short-term borrowing are primarily due to
   seasonal cash usage patterns.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

   ITEM 4:     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

               The Company held its annual meeting of shareholders on April

               selection of one director and to ratify the selection of
               auditors.  Mr. Friend was elected as director to serve until

   Hein-Werner Corporation
   2120 Pewaukee Road
   Waukesha, WI   53187

   Attn:  Mr. Joseph Dindorf, President

   Gentlemen:

   Please refer to the Revolving Loan and Security Agreement by and between
   Firstar Financial Services, a division of Firstar Bank Milwaukee, N.A.
   ("FFS") and Hein-Werner Corporation, dated October 13, 1993, with
   amendments thereto ("Agreement").  This letter shall serve to further
   amend the Agreement as follows:

   Effective July 1, 1996, the fourth sentence of subsection (a) of Section
   1. LOANS AND SECURITY INTEREST shall be amended to read:

          "The interest rate hereunder shall be computed at an annual rate
          equal to .9 percent plus the rate announced from time to time by
          Lender as its 'prime rate,' which may or may not be the best rate
          available at said bank.  The interest rate shall reduce by 1/4 
          percent in the event Debtor's North American operations show a
          $500,000.090 profit during 1996 (with said reduction effective the
          first day of the month following Lender's receipt of Debtor's
          December 31, 1996 financial statements showing an overall profit)
          and reduce by another 1/4 percent at such time as Massachusetts
          Mutual agrees in writing to defer the first debt installment due
          from Debtor until January, 1998 or the same is otherwise converted
          from debt to equity.  The interest rate shall increase by 1/4
          percent if Debtor's financial statements for the subsequent year
          show a consolidated loss, but shall not be increased above .9
          percent plus the rate announced from time to time by Lender as its
          'prime rate,' which may or may not be the best rate available at
          said bank."

   The second sentence of subsection (a) of Section 9, TERMINATION shall be
   amended to read:

          "While this Agreement is in effect, Debtor agrees to borrow
          funds and pay, at minimum, to Lender the Minimum Monthly
          Charge specified in Section 1. LOANS AND SECURITY
          INTEREST of this Agreement until June 30, 1999, and from year
          to year thereafter, unless Debtor notifies Lender that it does
          not intend to extend the Agreement for another year by giving
          Lender written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to the
          expiration of the then existing term of this Agreement."  

   In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full
   force and effect.  

   The foregoing amendments are contingent upon the approval of the
   participant in this loan:  Mercantile Business Credit, Inc.

   If the above agrees with your understanding and approval, please indicate
   same by signing the original of this letter and returning it to the
   undersigned.  (NOTE:  If you return executed documents via facsimile, you
   must also return the original executed documents.  You agree FFS may rely
   on facsimile signatures for all purposes and without any liability to
   you.)  If the preconditions (if any) to this amendment are not satisfied
   or if this amendment letter is not executed and returned to FFS on or
   before July 8, 1996, then the proposed amendments herein may be withdrawn
   by FFS by written notice to you.  The amendments set forth herein and any
   accompanying documents will be deemed effective and accepted in Milwaukee,
   Wisconsin, upon our receipt of the executed documents.

                                   Sincerely,

   Common shares have been adjusted to give effect to the 5% stock dividend
   paid January 26, 1996.

   The $4,500,0000 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes are convertible to
   common shares at a price of $6.28 per share after giving effect to the
   stock dividend paid January 26, 1996.

   Earnings per common share and common equivalent share were computed by
   dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common
   stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

   Earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, is determined by
   assuming that at the beginning of the period convertible notes were
   converted at the price per share in effect at that time and common share
   options were exercised.  As to the options, incremental shares would be
   calculated using the treasury stock method, assuming common share
   purchases at the greater of the average market price of the common shares
   for the period or the ending price of the common shares.
