                              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
      twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 1996 have been made.  Management also
      believes that the results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six
      weeks ended June 29, 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 twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 1996 and
      July 1, 1995 was $31.2 million and $26.4 million.

   4. Interest paid for the twenty-six week periods ended June 29, 1996 and
      July 1, 1995 was $6.9 million and $5.6 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. 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 purchase the Tejas Companies'
      testing facilities or 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
      TNRCC's obligation 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. 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
      has recognized the remaining net obligation under the Guaranty of
      $67.5 million at June 29, 1996.  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 $92.2 million
      at June 29, 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 recorded receivables from the Tejas
      Companies is probable, and it will make an ongoing assessment of the
      likelihood of realization of such receivables.  Recognition of the
      liability and related asset described above will not result in any net
      loss recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements at
      June 29, 1996.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  

   Overview:  The Corporation posted record sales, net earnings, and earnings
   per share for the second quarter and first six months of 1996. Net
   earnings for the second quarter of 1996 increased 16.2% over the year ago
   quarter on a net sales increase of 17.7%. For the first six months, 1996
   net earnings increased 14.2% over the comparable 1995 period on a net
   sales increase of 14.6%. Earnings per share for the second quarter and
   first six months increased 16.4% and 17.0% over 1995 comparable periods.  

   The second quarter's results benefited from several acquisitions and
   strong performance in the Corporation's North American tool and equipment
   businesses.  The quarter's results also reflect continuing improvements in
   operating efficiencies and benefits from the Corporation's ongoing cost
   control programs.

   Sales:  Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $384.6 million, an
   increase of 17.7% over second quarter 1995 sales of $326.8 million. Net
   sales for the first six months of 1996 were $728.9 million, an increase of
   14.6% over 1995 six-month sales of $635.9 million. 

   North American sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $294.5 million,
   an increase of 14.2% over second quarter 1995 sales of $257.8 million.
   North American sales for the first six months of 1996 were $553.6 million,
   an increase of 9.7% over six-month 1995 sales of $504.7 million. The
   second quarter's results reflect higher sales in both the dealer van
   channel and the industrial channel. In addition, the acquisition of the
   John Bean Company contributed to the second quarter increase.

   European sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $69.4 million, an
   increase of 46.4% over second quarter 1995 sales of $47.4 million.
   European sales for the first six months of 1996 were $136.3 million, an
   increase of 50.3% over six-month 1995 sales of $90.7 million.  The second
   quarter's sales increase was due to the acquisitions of Herramientas
   Eurotools S.A. and the John Bean Company. Excluding acquisitions, sales
   decreased 7% for the second quarter.  The temporary suspension of the
   United Kingdom's emissions testing program and a delay in new product
   introductions negatively affected the second quarter.  The emissions
   testing program in the United Kingdom, and related equipment sales, are
   expected to resume in the third quarter of 1996.  

   Other International sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $20.6
   million, a decrease of 4.6% from second quarter 1995 sales of $21.6
   million. Other International sales for the first six months of 1996 were
   $39.0 million, a decrease of 3.7% from six-month 1995 sales of $40.5
   million.  For the second quarter, sales in Japan were negatively affected
   by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the yen. Sales in 
   Australia increased in the quarter.  Excluding the negative effects of the
   yen, sales in this region would have reported an increase.

   Earnings:  Earnings for the second quarter of 1996 were $34.5 million, an
   increase of 16.2% over second quarter 1995 earnings of $29.7 million. 
   Second quarter earnings per share increased to $.85, a 16.4% increase over
   second quarter 1995 earnings per share of $.73. Earnings for the first six
   months of 1996 were $64.2 million, an increase of 14.2% over six-month
   1995 earnings of $56.2 million. Earnings per share for the first six
   months of 1996 rose to $1.58 per share, a 17.0% increase over six-month
   1995 earnings per share of $1.35.

   Operating expenses:  As a percentage of net sales, second quarter total
   operating expenses decreased to 39.5% in 1996 from 41.2% in 1995. As a
   percentage of net sales, six-month operating expenses decreased to 40.0%
   in 1996 from 42.0% 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 $26.6 million at the
   end of the second quarter from $16.2 million at the end of 1995.  Working
   capital was $610.9 million at the end of the second 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 decreased to $609.4 million at
   the end of the second 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 provide for a maximum of $150 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 to $267.3 million at the end of the
   second quarter from $250.4 million at the end of 1995.  The increase was
   primarily due to acquisitions.  

   Liabilities:  Total short-term and long-term debt was $151.5 million at
   the end of the second quarter compared with $170.9 million at the end of
   1995. The decrease was due primarily to the $50.0 million of
   securitization of receivables discussed previously.

   Average shares outstanding: Average shares outstanding decreased to 40.7
   million in 1996's second quarter compared with 40.8 million in last year's
   second quarter.  For the first six months of 1996, average shares
   outstanding declined to 40.7 million versus 41.6 million in the comparable
   six months of 1995. During the first half of 1995, the Corporation
   completed a $100 million share repurchase program, thereby reducing the
   number of shares outstanding.   

   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 of $.30 per share, on a pre-split basis, is
   equivalent to an annual rate of $1.20 per share.  On a post-split basis,
   the new quarterly dividend is equivalent to $.20 per share, or $.80 per
   share annually.

   The three-for-two stock split will result in one additional share issued
   for every two shares of the Corporation's stock outstanding.  Cash will be
   distributed in lieu of fractional shares.

   Dividend payments and additional shares both will be distributed on
   September 10, 1996, to shareholders of record on August 20, 1996.

   Other matters:  Refer to Note 6 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.
