Basis Of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the management of MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintains a controlling financial interest, “MSC Industrial” or the “Company”) and in the opinion of management include all normal recurring material adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021, results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, and cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021. The financial information as of August 28, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company, however, believes that the disclosures contained in this Report comply with the requirements of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2021. Fiscal Year The Company operates on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to August 31st of each year. References to “fiscal year 2022” refer to the period from August 29, 2021 to September 3, 2022, which is a 53-week fiscal year. References to “fiscal year 2021” refer to the period from August 30, 2020 to August 28, 2021, which is a 52-week fiscal year. The fiscal quarters ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021 refer to the thirteen weeks ended as of those dates. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintains a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers, vendors and freight carriers. However, demand from our traditional manufacturing end markets has recovered as certain restrictions implemented earlier in the pandemic have been lifted and economic and operating conditions have improved. In conjunction with the lifting of pandemic restrictions, the United States has experienced disruptions in the supply of certain products and services and constrained labor availability. These disruptions have affected the price and, at times, the availability of certain products and services necessary for the Company’s operations, including fuel, labor and certain products the Company sells or the inputs for such products. These disruptions are also impacting our customers and their ability to conduct their business or purchase our products and services. Such disruptions have impacted, and may continue to impact in the future, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including new variants of COVID-19, will continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations is highly uncertain. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time. The Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state and local, and foreign authorities. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease entities financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and will be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022. Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Revenue [Abstract] | |
Revenue | Note 2. Revenue Revenue Recognition Net sales include product revenue and shipping and handling charges, net of estimated sales returns and any related sales incentives. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. All revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract, and invoicing occurs at approximately the same point in time. The Company recognizes revenue once the customer obtains control of the products. The Company’s product sales have standard payment terms that do not exceed one year. The Company considers shipping and handling as activities to fulfill its performance obligations. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, to deliver products, and are short-term in nature. The Company estimates product returns based on historical return rates. Total accrued sales returns were $6,396 and $5,759 as of February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021, respectively, and are reported as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sales taxes and value-added taxes in foreign jurisdictions that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from net sales. Consideration Payable to Customers The Company offers customers sales incentives, which primarily consist of volume rebates, and upfront sign-on payments. These volume rebates and sign-on payments are not in exchange for a distinct good or service and result in a reduction of net sales from the goods transferred to the customer at the later of when the related revenue is recognized or when the Company promises to pay the consideration. The Company estimates its volume rebate accruals and records its sign-on payments based on various factors, including contract terms, historical experience, and performance levels. Total accrued sales incentives, primarily related to volume rebates, were $18,162 and $16,844 as of February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021, respectively, and are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Sign-on payments, not yet recognized as a reduction of revenue, are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $2,279 and $2,547 as of February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021, respectively. Contract Assets and Liabilities The Company records a contract asset when it has a right to payment from a customer that is conditioned on events other than the passage of time. The Company records a contract liability when customers prepay but the Company has not yet satisfied its performance obligations. The Company did not have material unsatisfied performance obligations or contract assets as of February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company operates in one operating and reportable segment as a distributor of metalworking and maintenance, repair and operations (“MRO”) products and services. The Company serves a large number of customers in diverse industries, which are subject to different economic and industry factors. The Company’s presentation of net sales by customer end-market most reasonably depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of Company revenue and cash flows are affected by economic and industry factors. The Company does not disclose net sales information by product category as it is impracticable to do so as a result of its numerous product offerings and the way its business is managed. The following table presents the Company’s percentage of net sales by customer end-market for the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended February 26, 2022 February 27, 2021Manufacturing Heavy 48% 48%Manufacturing Light 21% 20%Retail/Wholesale 7% 7%Government 7% 9%Commercial Services 4% 5%Other (1) 13% 11%Total net sales 100% 100% (1)The Other category primarily includes individual customer and small business net sales not assigned to a specific industry classification.

Net Income Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Income Per Share | Note 3. Net Income per Share Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and the Company’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together with Class A Common Stock, “Common Stock”), outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of potential shares of Common Stock is determined using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share under the treasury stock method for the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021. Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended February 26, February 27, February 26, February 27, 2022 2021 2022 2021Numerator: Net income attributable to MSC Industrial as reported $ 69,931 $ 18,085 $ 135,998 $ 56,539 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding for basic net income per share 55,799 55,838 55,664 55,749 Effect of dilutive securities 172 295 281 270 Weighted-average shares outstanding for diluted net income per share 55,971 56,133 55,945 56,019 Net income per share: Basic $ 1.25 $ 0.32 $ 2.44 $ 1.01 Diluted $ 1.25 $ 0.32 $ 2.43 $ 1.01 Potentially dilutive securities 364 324 379 933 Potentially dilutive securities attributable to outstanding stock options and restricted stock units are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share when the combined exercise price and average unamortized fair value are greater than the average market price of Class A Common Stock, and, therefore, their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for all stock-based payments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” as amended. Stock-based compensation expense included in Operating expenses for the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021 was as follows: Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended February 26, February 27, February 26, February 27, 2022 2021 2022 2021Stock options $ 217 $ 544 $ 805 $ 1,221Restricted stock units 3,306 3,819 8,009 7,118Performance share units 889 345 1,197 558Associate Stock Purchase Plan 88 48 178 97Total 4,500 4,756 10,189 8,994Deferred income tax benefit (1,139) (1,174) (2,476) (2,204)Stock-based compensation expense, net $ 3,361 $ 3,582 $ 7,713 $ 6,790 Stock Options The Company discontinued its grants of stock options in fiscal year 2020. The fair value of each option grant in previous fiscal years was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the twenty-six-week period ended February 26, 2022 is as follows: Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic ValueOutstanding on August 28, 2021 1,130 $ 76.38 Granted — — Exercised (183) 65.96 Canceled/Forfeited (32) 83.18 Outstanding on February 26, 2022 915 $ 78.22 2.1 $ 2,225Exercisable on February 26, 2022 844 $ 77.80 2.0 $ 2,225 The unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to stock option expense at February 26, 2022 was $565 and will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.6 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised, which represents the difference between the exercise price and the market value of Class A Common Stock measured at each individual exercise date, during the twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021 was $3,351 and $1,494, respectively. Performance Share Units In fiscal year 2020, the Company began granting performance share units (“PSUs”) as part of its long-term stock-based compensation program. PSUs cliff vest after a three year performance period based on the achievement of specific performance goals as set forth in the applicable award agreement. Based on the extent to which the performance goals are achieved, vested shares may range from 0% to 200% of the target award amount. The following table summarizes all transactions related to PSUs under the MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan”) (based on target award amounts) for the twenty-six-week period ended February 26, 2022: Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair ValueNon-vested PSUs at August 28, 2021 58 $ 75.52Granted 46 84.96Vested — —Canceled/Forfeited (10) 76.05Non-vested PSUs at February 26, 2022 (1) 94 $ 80.06 (1) Excludes approximately 9 shares of accrued incremental dividend equivalent rights on outstanding PSUs granted under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The fair value of each PSU is the closing stock price on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. PSUs are expensed over the three year performance period of each respective grant. Forfeitures of share-based awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting PSU forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for PSU awards that are expected to vest. Upon vesting, subject to the achievement of specific performance goals, a portion of the PSU award may be withheld to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation, and the remaining PSUs will be settled in shares of Class A Common Stock. These awards accrue dividend equivalents on the underlying PSUs (in the form of additional stock units) based on dividends declared on Class A Common Stock and these dividend equivalents are paid to the award recipient in the form of unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock on the vesting dates of the underlying PSUs, subject to the same performance vesting requirements. The unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to the PSUs at February 26, 2022 was $5,264 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. Restricted Stock Units A summary of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award activity under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan for the twenty-six-week period ended February 26, 2022 is as follows: Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair ValueNon-vested RSUs at August 28, 2021 524 $ 76.69Granted 173 84.74Vested (176) 76.74Canceled/Forfeited (40) 76.89Non-vested RSUs at February 26, 2022 (1) 481 $ 79.54 (1) Excludes approximately 56 shares of accrued incremental dividend equivalent rights on outstanding RSUs granted under the 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The fair value of each RSU is the closing stock price on the NYSE of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. RSUs are expensed over the vesting period of each respective grant. Forfeitures of share-based awards are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting RSU forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for RSU awards that are expected to vest. Upon vesting, a portion of the RSU award may be withheld to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation, and the remaining RSUs will be settled in shares of Class A Common Stock. These awards accrue dividend equivalents on the underlying RSUs (in the form of additional stock units) based on dividends declared on Class A Common Stock and these dividend equivalents are paid to the award recipient in the form of unrestricted shares of Class A Common Stock on the vesting dates of the underlying RSUs. The unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to the RSUs at February 26, 2022 was $32,032 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. |

Fair Value [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | Note 5. Fair Value Fair value accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The below fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, with Level 1 being of the highest priority. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2—Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and outstanding indebtedness. Cash and cash equivalents include investments in a money market fund which are reported at fair value. The fair value of money market funds is determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a market approach to determine the fair value of its debt instruments, utilizing quoted prices in active markets, interest rates and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar instruments. Therefore, the inputs used to measure the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The reported carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximated their fair values as of February 26, 2022, and February 27, 2021. During the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, the Company had no material remeasurements of non-financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition. See Note 9, “Asset Impairments” for further information on the PPE impairment and inventory write-downs which occurred during the first two quarters of fiscal year 2021. Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies an asset as held for sale when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset, the sale is probable within one year, and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company initially measures an asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company assesses the fair value of an asset less costs to sell each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and reports any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset, as long as the new carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Assets are not depreciated or amortized while they are classified as held for sale. In December 2020, the Company announced plans to relocate its Long Island Customer Service Center (“CSC”) to a smaller facility in Melville, New York. In connection with the announcement, the Company signed a 10-year lease to occupy approximately 26,000 square feet in an office building in Melville, New York, which commenced in September 2021. During fiscal year 2021, the Company commenced plans to sell its 170,000-square foot Long Island CSC in Melville, New York. The Company subsequently entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell the Long Island CSC. This transaction is currently within a permitting period as outlined within the Purchase and Sale Agreement. As of February 26, 2022, the related assets had a carrying value of approximately $15,300, which is comprised of approximately $11,600 of building and improvements and $3,700 of land, which is included in Property, plant and equipment, net in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of such date. As a result of the above, the Company determined that all of the criteria to classify the building as held for sale had been met as of February 26, 2022. Fair value was determined based upon the anticipated sales price of these assets based on current market conditions and assumptions made by management, which may differ from actual results and may result in an impairment if market conditions deteriorate. No impairment charge was recorded as the fair value less costs to sell was in excess of the carrying amount of the net assets. |

Debt | Note 6. Debt Debt at February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021 consisted of the following: February 26, August 28, 2022 2021 Amended Revolving Credit Facility $ 285,000 $ 234,000 Uncommitted Credit Facilities 200,000 201,500 Long-Term Note Payable 4,750 4,750 Private Placement Debt: 2.65% Senior Notes, Series A, due July 28, 2023 75,000 75,000 2.90% Senior Notes, Series B, due July 28, 2026 100,000 100,000 3.79% Senior Notes, due June 11, 2025 20,000 20,000 2.60% Senior Notes, due March 5, 2027 50,000 50,000 3.04% Senior Notes, due January 12, 2023(1) 50,000 50,000 2.40% Series 2019A Notes, due March 5, 2024(1) 50,000 50,000 Financing arrangements 528 191 Obligations under finance leases 1,804 2,461 Less: unamortized debt issuance costs (1,631) (1,853) Total debt, including obligations under finance leases $ 835,451 $ 786,049 Less: current portion (251,269)(2) (202,433)(3)Total long-term debt, including obligations under finance leases $ 584,182 $ 583,616 (1) Represents private placement debt issued under Shelf Facility Agreements (as defined below).(2) Consists of $200,000 from the Uncommitted Credit Facilities, $50,000 from the 3.04% Senior Notes due January 12, 2023, $528 from financing arrangements, $1,150 from obligations under finance leases and net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $409 expected to be amortized in the next 12 months.(3) Consists of $201,500 from the Uncommitted Credit Facilities, $87 from financing arrangements, $1,273 from obligations under finance leases and net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $427 expected to be amortized in the next 12 months. Amended Revolving Credit Facility In April 2017, the Company entered into a $600,000 revolving credit facility, which was subsequently amended and extended in August 2021 (as amended, the “Amended Revolving Credit Facility”). The Amended Revolving Credit Facility, which matures on August 24, 2026, provides for a five year unsecured revolving loan facility on a committed basis. The interest rate for borrowings under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility is based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus a spread based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal reporting quarter. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility also includes procedures for the succession from LIBOR to an alternative benchmark rate. Depending on the interest period the Company selects, interest may be payable every one, two or three months. Interest is reset at the end of each interest period. The Company currently elects to have loans under the Amended Revolving Credit Facility bear interest based on LIBOR with one-month interest periods. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility permits up to $50,000 to be used to fund letters of credit. The Amended Revolving Credit Facility also permits the Company to request one or more incremental term loan facilities and/or to increase the revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $300,000. Subject to certain limitations, each such incremental term loan facility or revolving loan commitment increase will be on terms as agreed to by the Company, the administrative agent and the lenders providing such financing. Outstanding letters of credit were $5,439 and $4,235 at February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021, respectively. Uncommitted Credit Facilities During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company extended and amended two of the three uncommitted credit facilities entered into or amended during fiscal year 2021. The third uncommitted credit facility was extended and amended in March 2022. All three of these amendments implemented the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark. These facilities (collectively, the “Uncommitted Credit Facilities” and, together with the Amended Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”) total $208,000 in aggregate maximum uncommitted availability, under which $200,000 and $201,500 was outstanding at February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021, respectively, and are included in the Current portion of debt including obligations under finance leases on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Borrowings under the Uncommitted Credit Facilities are due at the end of the applicable interest period, which is typically one month but may be up to six months and may be rolled over to a new interest period at the option of the applicable lender. The Company’s lenders have, in the past, been willing to roll over the principal amount outstanding under the Uncommitted Credit Facilities at the end of each interest period but may not do so in the future. Each Uncommitted Credit Facility matures within one year of entering into such Uncommitted Credit Facility and contains certain limited covenants which are substantially the same as the limited covenants contained in the Amended Revolving Credit Facility. All of the Uncommitted Credit Facilities are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s other unsecured indebtedness. Because the interest rates on the Uncommitted Credit Facilities have recently been lower than the interest rates which are available on the Company’s other sources of financing, the Company has used, and intends to use in the future, the Uncommitted Credit Facilities for opportunistic refinancing of the Company’s existing indebtedness. The Company does not presently view the Uncommitted Credit Facilities as sources of incremental debt financing of the Company due to the uncommitted nature of the Uncommitted Credit Facilities, but reserves the right to use the Uncommitted Credit Facilities to incur additional debt where it considers it appropriate under the then-existing credit market conditions. During the twenty-six-week period ended February 26, 2022, the Company borrowed an aggregate $184,000 and repaid an aggregate $134,500 under the Credit Facilities. As of February 26, 2022 and August 28, 2021, the weighted-average interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facilities were 1.14% and 1.11%, respectively. Private Placement Debt In July 2016, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $75,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.65% Senior Notes, Series A, due July 28, 2023, and $100,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.90% Senior Notes, Series B, due July 28, 2026; in June 2018, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $20,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.79% Senior Notes, due June 11, 2025; and, in March 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.60% Senior Notes, due March 5, 2027 (collectively, the “Private Placement Debt”). Interest is payable semiannually at the fixed stated interest rates. All of the Private Placement Debt is unsecured. Shelf Facility Agreements In January 2018, the Company entered into Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreements with MetLife Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Met Life Note Purchase Agreement”) and PGIM, Inc. (the “Prudential Note Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Met Life Note Purchase Agreement, the “Shelf Facility Agreements”). Each of the MetLife Note Purchase Agreement and the Prudential Note Purchase Agreement provides for an uncommitted facility for the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate total of $250,000 of unsecured senior notes, at a fixed rate. Pursuant to the terms of the Shelf Facility Agreements, no new unsecured senior notes may be issued and sold after January 12, 2021. As of February 26, 2022, $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.04% Senior Notes, due January 12, 2023 (which is included in the Current portion of debt including obligations under finance leases on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of February 26, 2022), and $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.40% Senior Notes, due March 5, 2024, were outstanding under notes issued in private placements pursuant to the Shelf Facility Agreements. Covenants Each of the Credit Facilities, the Private Placement Debt and the Shelf Facility Agreements imposes several restrictive covenants, including the requirement that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of total indebtedness to EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) of no more than 3.00 to 1.00 (or, at the election of the Company after it consummates a material acquisition, a four-quarter temporary increase to 3.50 to 1.00), and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of EBITDA to total interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00, during the terms of the Credit Facilities, the Private Placement Debt and the Shelf Facility Agreements. On February 26, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the operating and financial covenants of the Credit Facilities, the Private Placement Debt and the Shelf Facility Agreements. |

Shareholders' Equity [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | Note 7. Shareholders’ Equity Common Stock Repurchases and Treasury Stock On June 29, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors terminated the MSC Stock Repurchase Plan, which was established during fiscal year 1999, and authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) to purchase up to 5,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. There is no expiration date for the Share Repurchase Program. As of February 26, 2022, the maximum number of shares that may yet be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program was 5,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Share Repurchase Program allows the Company to repurchase shares at any time and in any increments it deems appropriate in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022, the Company repurchased 4 shares and 57 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock for $254 and $4,813, respectively. During the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 27, 2021, the Company repurchased 4 shares and 50 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock for $360 and $3,519, respectively. All of these shares were repurchased by the Company to satisfy the Company’s associates’ tax withholding liability associated with its stock-based compensation program and are reflected at cost as treasury stock in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021, respectively. The Company reissued 16 shares and 30 shares of treasury stock during the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 respectively, and reissued 16 shares and 31 shares of treasury stock during the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 27, 2021, respectively, to fund the MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. Amended and Restated Associate Stock Purchase Plan. Dividends on Common Stock The Company paid aggregate regular cash dividends of $1.50 per common share totaling approximately $83,586 for the twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 2022. For the twenty-six weeks ended February 27, 2021, the Company paid a special cash dividend of $3.50 per common share totaling approximately $195,351 and regular cash dividends of $1.50 per common share totaling approximately $83,685. On March 22, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.75 per share, payable on April 26, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 12, 2022. The dividend is expected to result in aggregate payments of approximately $41,881, based on the number of shares outstanding at March 15, 2022. |

Restructuring and Other Costs | Note 8. Restructuring and Other Costs Optimization of Company Operations and Profitability Improvement The Company identified opportunities for improvements in its workforce realignment, strategy and staffing, and increased its focus on performance management, to ensure it has the right skillsets and number of associates to execute its long-term vision. As such, the Company extended voluntary and involuntary severance and separation benefits to certain associates in order to facilitate its workforce realignment. In addition, the Company engaged consultants to assist in reviewing the optimization of the Company’s operations and improving profitability with executing on its Company-wide initiative, referred to as Mission Critical, through fiscal year 2023. Enhanced Customer Support Model In fiscal year 2021, the Company announced an enhanced customer support model, including a transition from the branch office network to virtual customer care hubs. Along with this transition, the Company closed 73 branch offices and realigned certain existing locations from branch offices to regional inventory centers. Restructuring and other costs consist of impairment charges for operating lease assets, net of gains related to settlement of lease liabilities, associate severance and separation costs, and other exit-related costs.

Asset Impairment [Abstract] | |
Asset Impairment | Note 9. Asset Impairments PPE-Related Inventory Write-Down In fiscal year 2021, the Company realized lower product margins as well as inventory write-downs, each as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to the increased supply of competing products from manufacturers and an expected inability to sell excess inventory of safety-related products ordered from manufacturers earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic. During the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 27, 2021, the Company incurred PPE-related inventory write-downs of $30,091 to reduce the carrying value of certain PPE-related inventory to its net realizable value. These inventory write-downs were reflected in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021. There were no such inventory write-downs during the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022. Impairment Loss To meet anticipated demand for PPE products during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company purchased products from manufacturers outside its typical programs and under non-standard payment terms. Given the high demand for PPE products and related challenges in sourcing PPE products as well as the imperative to quickly obtain such products based on customer demand, the Company used a number of distributors and brokers to source PPE products. In September 2020, the Company prepaid approximately $26,726 for the purchase of nitrile gloves to be sourced from manufacturers in Asia and experienced significant delays in obtaining possession of this PPE. The Company evaluated the potential recoverability of these assets and, as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $26,726 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 to reflect the fact that the Company would not ultimately obtain this PPE or recover its related prepayment. This impairment charge was reflected in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. In the second half of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into a legal settlement agreement with a vendor and, as a result, received $20,840 of loss recovery related to this prepayment. The Company continues to pursue its legal avenues for recovery of the remaining loss. |

Product Warranties [Abstract] | |
Product Warranties | Note 10. Product Warranties The Company generally offers a maximum one year warranty, including parts and labor, for some of its machinery products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold. The Company may be able to recoup some of these costs through product warranties it holds with its original equipment manufacturers, which typically range from 30 days to 90 days. In general, many of the Company’s general merchandise products are covered by third-party original equipment manufacturers’ warranties. The Company’s warranty expense for the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022 and February 27, 2021 was immaterial. |

Income Taxes | Note 11. Income Taxes During the twenty-six-week period ended February 26, 2022, there were no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law, which is intended to provide economic relief to those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (the “ARPA”) was signed into law. The ARPA includes several provisions, such as measures that extend and expand the Employee Retention Credit (the “ERC”) provision, previously enacted under the CARES Act, through December 31, 2021. The Company is reviewing the ERC provision of the CARES Act and of the ARPA to determine eligibility and potential impact. The CARES Act provides for the deferral of the employer-paid portion of social security payroll taxes. The Company elected to defer the employer-paid portion of social security payroll taxes through December 31, 2020 of $18,887. Of this amount, half was remitted in December 2021 and half will be remitted by December 31, 2022. The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.3% for the twenty-six-week period ended February 26, 2022, as compared to 24.5% for the twenty-six-week period ended February 27, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a higher tax benefit from stock-based compensation. |

Principles Of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which it maintains a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Impact Of COVID-19 | Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers, vendors and freight carriers. However, demand from our traditional manufacturing end markets has recovered as certain restrictions implemented earlier in the pandemic have been lifted and economic and operating conditions have improved. In conjunction with the lifting of pandemic restrictions, the United States has experienced disruptions in the supply of certain products and services and constrained labor availability. These disruptions have affected the price and, at times, the availability of certain products and services necessary for the Company’s operations, including fuel, labor and certain products the Company sells or the inputs for such products. These disruptions are also impacting our customers and their ability to conduct their business or purchase our products and services. Such disruptions have impacted, and may continue to impact in the future, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including new variants of COVID-19, will continue to impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations is highly uncertain. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time. The Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state and local, and foreign authorities. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease entities financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and will be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the thirteen- and twenty-six-week periods ended February 26, 2022. Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
