Financial Instruments And Marketable Securities [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
Marketable Securities | (2) Marketable Securities | ||||||||||||
Due to the varying short-term cash needs of our business, we periodically have marketable securities. We value these assets utilizing a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to measurements involving unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: | |||||||||||||
• | Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | ||||||||||||
• | Level 2 inputs include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. | ||||||||||||
• | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. | ||||||||||||
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | |||||||||||||
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: | |||||||||||||

Dividends | |||||||||||||||||
On October 8, 2013, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock. This dividend is to be paid in cash on November 22, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 25, 2013. Since 2011 we have paid quarterly dividends and, in 2012, we paid a supplemental dividend late in the year due to uncertainty related to future dividend tax rates in the United States. Our board of directors expects to continue paying quarterly dividends, provided the future determination as to payment of dividends will depend on the financial needs of the Company and such other factors as deemed relevant by the board of directors. | |||||||||||||||||

All of the options in the tables above vest and become exercisable over a period of up to eight years. Each option will terminate, to the extent not previously exercised, 13 months after the end of the relevant vesting period. | |||||||||||||||||
The fair value of each share-based option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation method that uses the assumptions listed above. The expected life is the average length of time over which we expect the employee groups will exercise their options, which is based on historical experience with similar grants. Expected volatilities are based on the movement of our stock over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate over the expected life at the time of grant. The dividend yield is estimated over the expected life based on our current dividend payout, historical dividends paid, and expected future cash dividends. | |||||||||||||||||
Compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value is recognized for all of these awards over the vesting period. The stock-based compensation expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4,050 and $3,450, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2013 was $17,273 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.92 years. Any future changes in estimated forfeitures will impact this amount. | |||||||||||||||||

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | (4) Income Taxes |
Fastenal, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, numerous states, and various local and foreign jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for taxable years before 2010 in the case of United States federal and non-United States examinations and 2009 in the case of state and local examinations. | |
As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $4,692 and $4,254, respectively, of liabilities recorded related to unrecognized tax benefits. Included in this liability for unrecognized tax benefits is an immaterial amount for interest and penalties, both of which we classify as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not anticipate its total unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly during the next 12 months. |

Operating Leases | (5) Operating Leases |
We lease certain pick-up trucks under operating leases. These leases have a non-cancellable lease term of one year, with renewal options for up to 72 months. The pick-up truck leases include an early buy out clause we generally exercise, thereby giving the leases an effective term of 28-36 months. Certain operating leases for vehicles contain residual value guarantee provisions which would become due at the expiration of the operating lease agreement if the fair value of the leased vehicles is less than the guaranteed residual value. The aggregate residual value guarantee related to these leases is approximately $48,709. We believe the likelihood of funding the guarantee obligation under any provision of the operating lease agreements is remote, except for a $43 loss on disposal reserve provided at September 30, 2013. Our fleet also contains vehicles we estimate will settle at a gain. Gains on these vehicles will be recognized when we sell or dispose of the vehicle or at the end of the lease term. |
