    SNAP-ON INCORPORATED ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF TENDER OFFER FOR SHARES
                         OF HEIN-WERNER CORPORATION 


 Kenosha, Wisconsin:  June 2, 1998  - Snap-on Incorporated announced today
 that its tender offer for all outstanding common shares of Hein-Werner
 Corporation (ASE:HNW) at $12.60 per share in cash expired on Monday, June
 1, 1998, at midnight, EDT, and that such shares have been accepted for
 payment. Snap-on stated that approximately 2.7 million common shares of
 Hein-Werner were tendered pursuant to the offer, which shares represent
 approximately 93% of the total outstanding shares.  Hein-Werner announced
 today that it will hold a special shareholders' meeting in July, 1998 for
 the purpose of approving and adopting the merger of a subsidiary of Snap-on
 with and into Hein-Werner, resulting in Hein-Werner becoming an indirect
 wholly-owned subsidiary of Snap-on.  The affirmative vote of at least 662/3
 percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Hein-Werner will
 be necessary to approve the merger.  As a result of the consummation of the
 tender offer, however, Snap-on owns and has the right to vote a sufficient
 number of shares to approve and adopt the merger without the affirmative
 vote of any other shareholder, thereby assuring such approval and adoption. 
 Pursuant to the terms of such merger, any Hein-Werner shares not acquired
 in the tender offer will be exchanged for $12.60 per share in cash.  Snap-
 on Incorporated (NYSE:SNA) is a $1.7 billion leading global developer,
 manufacturer and distributor of tool and equipment solutions for
 professional technicians, motor service shop owners, specialty repair
 centers, original equipment manufacturers, and industrial tool users
 worldwide.  Product lines include hand and power tools, diagnostics and
 shop equipment, tool storage products, diagnostic software, and other
 solutions for the automotive service industry.
