Item 1.   Security and Issuer

          The class of equity securities to which this statement 

on Schedule 13D relates is the Common Stock, $1.00 par value per 

share ("Securities"), of Hein-Werner Corporation (the 

"Issuer"), a Wisconsin corporation, with principal offices 

located at 2120 Pewaukee Road, Waukesha, Wisconsin 53188.


Item 2.   Identity and Background
          This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario
Gabelli"), Marc J. Gabelli ("Marc Gabelli") and various entities which
either one directly or indirectly controls or for which either one
acts as chief investment officer.  These entities, except for Lynch
Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker Industries, Incorporated ("Spinna-
ker"), Western New Mexico Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"),
Entoleter, Inc. ("Entoleter"),  Lynch Telecommunications Corporation
("Lynch Telecom"), Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and
Inter-Community Telephone Company ("Inter-Community") (collectively,
"Lynch and its affiliates"), engage in various aspects of the securi-
ties business, primarily as investment adviser to various institution-
al and individual clients, including registered investment companies
and pension plans, as broker/dealer and as general partner of various
private investment partnerships.  Certain of these entities may also
make investments for their own accounts. 
          The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficial-
ly more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular
issuer.  Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as
institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial
ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who do
not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold
presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their
investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could
be viewed as not completely passive.  In order to avoid any question
as to whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on the
proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility and
administrative uniformity, these persons have decided to file their
beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form
rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more
expansive disclosure than may be necessary. 
          (a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one or
more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"), GAMCO
Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"), Gabelli &
Company, Inc. ("Gabelli & Company"), Gabelli Performance Partnership
L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli Associates Fund ("Gabelli As-
sociates"), Gabelli Associates Limited ("GAL"), Gabelli & Company,
Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), Gabelli International Limited
("GIL"), Gabelli International II Limited ("GIL II"), Gabelli Interna-
tional Gold Fund Limited ("GIGFL"), ALCE Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"),
Gabelli Multimedia Partners, L.P. ("Multimedia Partners"), MJG Associ-
ates, Inc. ("MJG Assocciates"),

          For information required by instruction C to Schedule 13D

entities and other related persons (collectively, "Covered Persons"),
reference is made to Schedule I annexed hereto and incorporated herein
by reference. 
          (d) and (e) -  On December 8, 1994, the SEC instituted and
simultaneously accepted offers for the settlement of an administrative
proceeding against Gabelli & Company and GAMCO.  The order instituting
the proceeding included a finding, which Gabelli & Company and GAMCO
neither admitted nor denied, that they failed to implement and main-
tain policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent the misuse
of material, nonpublic information by not specifically addressing the
special circumstances that arose from their affiliation with Lynch
Corporation, a public company.  To resolve this matter, Gabelli &
Company and GAMCO agreed to cease and desist from violating Section
15(f) of the 1934 Act and Section 204A of the Advisers Act, respec-
tively.  They further agreed to each pay a civil penalty in the amount
of $50,000, and to retain, and adopt the recommendations of, an
independant consultant regarding their Section 15(f) and Section 204A
policies and procedures.  
     (f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.  
Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          All Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximately
$4,676,750 to purchase the Securities reported as beneficially owned
in Item 5 below.  GAMCO and GFI used approximately $614,605 and
$627,500, respectively, of funds that were provided through the
accounts of certain of their investment advisory clients (and, in the
case of some of such accounts at GAMCO, may be through borrowings from
client margin accounts) in order to purchase the Securities for such
clients.  GIL and GAL used approximately $313,000 and $624,617,
respectively, of working capital to purchase the Securities reported
by them. Gabelli Associates used approximately $2,497,028 of the
investing funds of the partnership to purchase the Securities reported
by it. 
Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction
          Each of the Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch
and its affiliates, has purchased and holds the Securities reported by
it for investment for one or more accounts over which it has shared,
sole, or both investment and/or voting power, for its own account, or
both. 
          The Reporting Persons, with the exceptions of Lynch and its
affiliates, are engaged in the business of securities analysis and
investment and pursue an investment philosophy of identifying under-
valued situations.  In pursuing this investment philosophy, the
Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and
markets of companies in which they invest, including the Issuer, on a
continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions
with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representa-
tives of such companies (often at the invitation of management). The
Reporting Persons do not believe they possess material inside informa-
tion concerning the Issuer.  As a result of these analytical activi-
ties one or more of the Reporting Persons may issue analysts reports,
participate in interviews or hold discussions with third parties or
with management in which the Reporting Person may suggest or take a
position with respect to potential changes in the operations, manage-
ment or capital structure of such companies as a means of enhancing
shareholder values. Such suggestions or positions may relate to one or
more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item
4 of the Schedule 13D form, including, without limitation, such
matters as disposing of one or more businesses, selling the company or
acquiring another company or business, changing operating or marketing
strategies, adopting or not adopting, certain types of anti-takeover 
measures and restructuring the company's capitalization or dividend
policy. 
          Each of the Reporting Persons intends to adhere to the
foregoing investment philosophy with respect to the Issuer.  However,
none of the Reporting Persons intends to seek control of the Issuer or
participate in the management of the Issuer, and any Reporting Person
that is registered as an investment company under the l940 Act will
participate in such a transaction only following receipt of an exemp-
tion from the SEC under Rule l7d-l under the l940 Act, if required,
and in accordance with other applicable law. 
          In pursuing this investment philosophy, each Reporting
Person will continuously assess the Issuer's business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic
conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the
Issuer's securities in particular, other developments and other
investment opportunities, as well as the investment objectives and
diversification requirements of its shareholders or clients and its
fiduciary duties to such shareholders or clients.  Depending on such
assessments, one or more of the Reporting Persons may acquire addi-
tional Securities or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all
or some of its holdings of Securities.  Although the Reporting Persons
share the same basic investment philosophy and although portfolio
decisions are made by or under the supervision of Mr. Gabelli, the
investment objectives and diversification requirements of various
clients differ from those of other clients so that one or more Report-
ing Persons may be acquiring Securities while others are disposing of
Securities.         
          With respect to voting of the Securities, the Reporting
Persons have adopted general voting policies relating to voting on
specified issues affecting corporate governance and shareholder
values.  Under these policies, the Reporting Persons generally vote
all securities over which they have voting power in favor of cumula-
tive voting, financially reasonable golden parachutes, one share one
vote, management cash incentives and pre-emptive rights and against
greenmail, poison pills, supermajority voting, blank check preferred
stock and super-dilutive stock options.  Exceptions may be made when
management otherwise demonstrates superior sensitivity to the needs of
