This Amendment No. 3 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 
16, 1998 by Stinson Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership 
("Stinson"); the Carpenters Pension Trust for Southern California (the 
"Carpenters Trust"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P., a California limited 
partnership ("RCBA L.P."); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California 
corporation ("RCBA Inc."); and Richard C. Blum, the Chairman and a substantial 
shareholder of RCBA Inc. (collectively, and together with RCBA-Strategic 
Partners, L.P. and RCBA GP, L.L.C., the "Reporting Persons"). This Schedule 
13D relates to shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.10 and shares of 
Class B Common Stock, par value $0.10 (collectively, the "Common Stock"), of

corporation (the "Issuer").  The principal executive office and mailing

the sole general partner.


CUSIP NO. 810022103, 810022202   SCHEDULE 13D                    Page 10 of 17

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
- -------------------------------
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following additional 
information:

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of November 
16, 1998 (attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference herein), 
the limited partnership for which RCBA GP serves as the general partner has 
agreed to buy 274,430 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Shares") from John 
P. Reilly (the "Seller").  The transaction is expected to settle on November 
24, 1998.  The purchase price will be $14.8125 net per Share for a total 
purchase price of $4,064,994.38. The purchaser has the right, in its sole and 
absolute discretion, to assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement 
to any of its affiliates.  The provisions of the Agreement are described in 
detail in Exhibit B.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- ---------------------------------------------
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

(a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Proxy Statement, dated November 
10, 1998, there were 13,321,065 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,549,822 
shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 30, 1998. 
Based on such information, the Reporting Persons report the following direct 
holdings and corresponding percentage interests in the Common Stock: Stinson, 
356,206 (2.6%) shares Class A Common Stock and 402,400 (8.5%) shares of Class 
B Common Stock; Carpenters Trust, 385,982 (2.8%) shares of Class A Common 
Stock and 588,927 (12.5%) shares of Class B Common Stock; and, 271,455 (2.0%) 
shares of Class A Common Stock and 356,571 (7.6%) shares of Class B Common 
Stock owned by certain of RCBA, L.P.'s other limited partnerships and 
investment advisory clients.  RCBA GP and the partnership for which it serves 
as the general partner currently hold no shares of the Class A Common Stock or 
the Class B Common Stock.

In addition, because RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power with respect to 
170,570 shares of Class A Common Stock and 155,435 shares of Class B Common 
Stock that are legally owned by The Common Fund for the account of its Equity 
Fund ("The Common Fund"), those shares are reported as beneficially owned by 
RCBA L.P.  The Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of managing 
investments for educational institutions.  The principal administrative office 
of The Common Fund is located at 450 Post Road East, Westport, Connecticut 
06881-0909.  The Common Fund disclaims membership in a group with any of the 
Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by 
the Reporting Persons.

Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by 
RCBA L.P and RCBA GP.  The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be 
members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to 
have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,184,213 shares of Class A 
Common Stock and 1,503,333 shares of Class B Common Stock, which is 8.9% and 
33.0%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock.  As the sole general 
partner of RCBA L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the

CUSIP NO. 810022103, 810022202   SCHEDULE 13D                    Page 11 of 17

securities over which RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power.  As Chairman 
and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to 
be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.  
Additionally, Mr. Blum may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 
securities over which RCBA GP has voting and investment power.  Although Mr. 
Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this 
Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any of the other 
shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc., or managing 
members and members of RCBA GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of 
any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc or RCBA GP, 
except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

(c), (d) and (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting 
Persons, the other persons named in Item 2, is a party to any contract, 
arrangement, understanding or relationship with respect to any securities of 
the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any 
securities of the Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option 
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or 
loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, except (i) as previously 
disclosed, (ii) as noted above, RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power of 
the shares held by it for the benefit of the Common Fund, and (iii) as noted 
above, the limited partnership for which RCBA GP serves as the general partner 
entered into an agreement as of November 16, 1998 to purchase shares of Class 
A Common Stock.

                                 BACKGROUND

     A.  The Seller is, or will be, at the settlement date through the 
exercise of options, the owner of a total of 274,430 shares of Class A Common 
Stock (the "Shares") of Scott Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

     B.  The Seller desires to sell, and the Buyer desires to purchase, all of 
the Shares upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

     1.    Basic Transaction.

          (a)  Purchase of Shares.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions set 
forth below, Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, 
274,430 Shares.

          (b)  Purchase Price.  The purchase price is $14.8125 net per Share, 
for a total purchase price of $4,064,994.38 for the 274,430 Shares.

     2.    Conditions; Closing.

          (a)  Buyer's Conditions.  The Buyer's obligations under this 
Agreement are conditioned upon all of the Shares being sold to the Buyer.

          (b)  Settlement Date.  The settlement date shall be November 24, 
1998 for the transfer of all Shares.  In exchange for the Seller's good 
delivery of 20,582 shares being transferred on the settlement date, the Buyer 
will wire transfer immediately available funds into the Seller's account the 
amount of $304,870.87.  Seller shall provide wire transfer instructions to 
Buyer.  In addition, in exchange for the Seller's good delivery of 253,848 
shares being transferred on the settlement date, the Buyer will deliver to 
Scott Technologies, Inc. two (2) cashier's checks in the amounts of $1,650,012 
and $2,110,111.50, respectively, payable to Seller.

     3.   Representations of Seller.  Seller hereby represents, warrants and 
covenants to Buyer that:

          (a)  Ownership.  Seller owns or will own his Shares free and clear 
of any pledge, lien, charge, claim, security interest or other encumbrance of 
any kind, nature or description.  Seller's Shares are or will be validly 
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

          (b)  Authority and Compliance.  Seller has full power and authority 
to transfer his Shares and has complied with or will comply with all legal 
requirements, if any, in connection with the sale of his Shares.  Such 
transfer will not violate the rights of any third party.

          (c)  No Restrictions.  The Shares being transferred by Seller are 
either free of any transfer restrictions applicable to Seller or, if there are 
any transfer restrictions, Seller has received assurances from the Company 
that such restrictions will not prevent the transfer of such Shares pursuant 
to the terms set forth in this Agreement.

     4.   Representations of Buyer. Buyer hereby represents, warrants and 
covenants to Seller that:

          (a)  Accredited.  Buyer is an accredited investor as defined in 
Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities 
Act").

          (b)  Investment Intent.  The Shares being acquired by Buyer are 
being acquired for investment for Buyer's own account, and not with a view to 
a distribution of any part thereof.

          (c)  Transfer.  Buyer understands that it must bear the economic 
risk of this investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because 
the sale to Buyer of Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act, 
and such Shares cannot be transferred by Buyer unless such transfer is 
registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

          (d)  Authority and Compliance.  Buyer has full power and authority 
to purchase the Shares and has complied with or will comply with all legal 
requirements, if any, in connection with the purchase of its Shares.

     5.    Miscellaneous.

          (a)  Further Action.  Each party agrees to use reasonable efforts to 
take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all 
things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the 
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (b)  Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement 
constitutes the entire understanding among the parties with regard to the 
subjects hereof, superseding all prior understandings, agreements, 
representations and negotiations, whether oral or written.  The terms and 
conditions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding 
upon, the respective executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns 
of the parties.

          (c)  Choice of Law.  This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced 
in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to contracts 
executed and performed entirely therein.

          (d)  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of 
counterparts and by facsimile, and when so signed and delivered will have the 
same effect as if all signatures appeared on the same document.

          (e)  Notices.  All notices required or permitted under this 
Agreement must be given in writing (which may include facsimile).  All notices 
will be effective upon the earlier of (i) receipt (including confirmation that 
a facsimile has been received) or (ii) five business days after being 
deposited in the U.S. mail or two business days after being delivered to an 
overnight courier, in each case properly addressed as set forth on the 
signature page hereto, as such address may be changed by proper notice to the 
other parties. 

          (f)  Interpretation.  All parties have been or have had the 
opportunity to be assisted by counsel in connection with this Agreement.  The 
normal rule of construction that any ambiguity will be resolved against the 
drafting party will not be used in the interpretation of this Agreement.

          (g)  Amendment of Agreement.  This Agreement may be amended only by 
a written instrument signed by all of the parties.

          (h)  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the 
application of any such provision to any party is held by a court of competent 
jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be deemed amended to 
the minimum extent possible to comply with such law, and the remaining 
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

          (i)  Attorneys' Fees.  If it becomes necessary for any party to 
initiate legal action or any other proceeding to enforce, defend or construe 
such party's rights or obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing party 
will be entitled to reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees 
and costs, incurred and paid in connection with such action or proceeding.

          (j)  Fees and Expenses.  Seller and Buyer shall each bear its own 
respective fees and costs in connection with the negotiation and execution of 
this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, 
including the payment of any commission, finder's fee or similar payment 
because of any act or omission by such party.

          (k)  Assignment by Buyer.  Buyer may, in its sole and absolute 
discretion, assign its rights and obligation under this Agreement to any of 
its affiliates.
