Summary of Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Accounting Policies	Summary of Accounting Policies Principles of consolidation and presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Snap-on Incorporated and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Snap-on” or the “company”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Snap-on’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 (“2018 year end”). The company’s 2019 fiscal third quarter ended on September 28, 2019; the 2018 fiscal third quarter ended on September 29, 2018. Each of the company’s 2019 and 2018 fiscal first, second and third quarters contained 13 weeks of operating results. Snap-on’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Financial Instruments The fair value of the company’s derivative financial instruments is generally determined using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the company’s non-derivative financial instruments either approximates fair value, due to their short-term nature, or the amount disclosed for fair value is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis or quoted market values. See Note 9 for further information on financial instruments. New Accounting Standards The following new accounting pronouncements were adopted in fiscal year 2019: On December 30, 2018, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2019 fiscal year, Snap-on adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The amendments in this update also made certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On December 30, 2018, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2019 fiscal year, Snap-on adopted ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) , which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The adoption of this ASU resulted in an increase of $45.9 million to retained earnings on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity with an offsetting decrease in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). On December 30, 2018, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2019 fiscal year, Snap-on adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 is intended to represent an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. Topic 842, which supersedes most current lease guidance, affects any entity that enters into a lease with some specified scope exemptions. Snap-on adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach, using a date of initial application of December 30, 2018. Snap-on elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the standard, which also allowed the company to carry forward historical lease classifications. The company also elected the practical expedient related to treating lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all equipment leases as well as electing a policy exclusion permitting leases with an original lease term of less than one year to be excluded from the Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See note 15 for further information on leases. The following new accounting pronouncements, and related impacts on adoption, are being evaluated by the company: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing, modifying and adding disclosures related to fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General Subtopic 715-20 - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans , which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing and adding disclosures related to defined benefit plans. ASU No. 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020; the ASU allows for early adoption in any year end after issuance of the update. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) , to require the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-13, is to provide financial statement users with more information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 will require the company to record an estimate of all expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast. This guidance will replace the company's current incurred loss model, which uses current expected credit losses to estimate credit loss reserves. Topic 326 is expected to increase the company’s allowance for doubtful accounts as a result of recording reserves for expected losses, as well as extending the loss estimate period over the entire life of the receivable, in addition to losses deemed to be already incurred. Snap-on commenced its assessment of Topic 326 during the second half of 2018 and developed a comprehensive project plan that included representatives from the company’s business segments. The project plan includes analyzing the standard’s potential change on the company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reserves, identifying reporting requirements of the new standard, and identifying changes to the company’s business processes, systems and controls, including model development and validation, to support the accounting and disclosures under Topic 326. Upon adoption, the allowance for doubtful accounts is expected to increase with an offsetting adjustment, net of taxes, to retained earnings. Updates to the estimate each period after initial adoption will be recorded through provision expense. The extent of the impact upon adoption will depend on the composition of the company’s receivable portfolio and economic conditions at that date, as well as forecasted conditions thereafter. The credit risk of the portfolio and associated losses will not change upon adoption. The company continues to assess the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The tools product category includes Snap-on’s hand tools, power tools, tool storage products and other similar products. The diagnostics, information and management systems product category includes handheld and PC-based diagnostic products, service and repair information products, diagnostic software solutions, electronic parts catalogs, business management systems and services, point-of-sale systems, integrated systems for vehicle service shops, original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) purchasing facilitation services, and warranty management systems and analytics to help OEM dealerships manage and track performance. The equipment product category includes solutions for the service of vehicles and industrial equipment. Snap-on supports the sale of its diagnostics and vehicle service shop equipment by offering training programs as well as after-sales support to its customers. Through its financial services businesses, Snap-on also derives revenue from various financing programs designed to facilitate the sales of its products and support its franchise business. Approximately 90% of Snap-on’s net sales are products sold at a point in time through ship-and-bill performance obligations that also includes service repair services. The remaining sales revenue is earned over time primarily on a subscription basis including software, extended warranty and other subscription service agreements. Snap-on enters into contracts related to the selling of tools, diagnostic and repair information and equipment products and related services. At contract inception, an assessment of the goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is identified for each distinct promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services). To identify the performance obligations, Snap-on considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. Contracts with customers are comprised of customer purchase orders, invoices and written contracts. For certain performance obligations related to software subscriptions, extended warranty and other subscription agreements that are settled over time, Snap-on has elected not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for: (i) contracts that have an original expected length of one year or less; (ii) contracts where revenue is recognized as invoiced; and (iii) contracts with variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations. The remaining duration of these unsatisfied performance obligations range from one month up to 60 months. Snap-on had approximately $230.0 million of long-term contracts that have fixed consideration that extends beyond one year as of September 28, 2019. Snap-on expects to recognize approximately 50% of these contracts as revenue by the end of fiscal 2020, an additional 40% by the end of fiscal 2022 and the balance thereafter.

Receivables [Abstract]
Receivables	Receivables Trade and Other Accounts Receivable Snap-on’s trade and other accounts receivable primarily arise from the sale of tools and diagnostic and equipment products to a broad range of industrial and commercial customers and to Snap-on’s independent franchise van channel on a non-extended-term basis with payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 120 days. The components of Snap-on’s trade and other accounts receivable as of September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, are as follows: (Amounts in millions) September 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 Trade and other accounts receivable $ 705.0 $ 710.1 Allowances for doubtful accounts (20.2) (17.5) Total trade and other accounts receivable – net $ 684.8 $ 692.6 Finance and Contract Receivables Snap-on Credit LLC (“SOC”), the company’s financial services operation in the United States, originates extended-term finance and contract receivables on sales of Snap-on’s products sold through the U.S. franchisee and customer network and to certain other customers of Snap-on; Snap-on’s foreign finance subsidiaries provide similar financing internationally. Interest income on finance and contract receivables is included in “Financial services revenue” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Snap-on’s finance receivables are comprised of extended-term installment payment contracts to both technicians and independent shop owners (i.e., franchisees’ customers) to enable them to purchase tools and diagnostic and equipment products on an extended-term payment plan, generally with average payment terms of approximately four years. Finance receivables are generally secured by the underlying tools and/or diagnostic or equipment products financed. Snap-on’s contract receivables, with payment terms of up to 10 years, are comprised of extended-term installment payment contracts to a broad base of customers worldwide, including shop owners, both independents and national chains, for their purchase of tools and diagnostic and equipment products. Contract receivables also include extended-term installment loans to franchisees to meet a number of financing needs, including working capital loans, loans to enable new franchisees to fund the purchase of the franchise and van leases, or the expansion of an existing franchise. Contract receivables are generally secured by the underlying tools and/or diagnostic or equipment products financed and, for installment loans to franchisees, other franchisee assets. The components of Snap-on’s current finance and contract receivables as of September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, are as follows: (Amounts in millions) September 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 Finance receivables $ 553.3 $ 538.1 Contract receivables 104.3 99.5 Total 657.6 637.6 Allowances for doubtful accounts: Finance receivables (19.8) (19.6) Contract receivables (1.6) (1.2) Total (21.4) (20.8) Total current finance and contract receivables – net $ 636.2 $ 616.8 Finance receivables – net $ 533.5 $ 518.5 Contract receivables – net 102.7 98.3 Total current finance and contract receivables – net $ 636.2 $ 616.8 The components of Snap-on’s finance and contract receivables with payment terms beyond one year as of September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, are as follows: (Amounts in millions) September 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 Finance receivables $ 1,126.0 $ 1,116.2 Contract receivables 353.0 348.0 Total 1,479.0 1,464.2 Allowances for doubtful accounts: Finance receivables (41.3) (41.8) Contract receivables (4.4) (3.1) Total (45.7) (44.9) Total long-term finance and contract receivables – net $ 1,433.3 $ 1,419.3 Finance receivables – net $ 1,084.7 $ 1,074.4 Contract receivables – net 348.6 344.9 Total long-term finance and contract receivables – net $ 1,433.3 $ 1,419.3 Delinquency is the primary indicator of credit quality for finance and contract receivables. The entire receivable balance of a contract is considered delinquent when contractual payments become 30 days past due. Depending on the contract, payments for finance and contract receivables are due on a monthly or weekly basis. Weekly payments are converted into a monthly equivalent for purposes of calculating delinquency. Delinquencies are assessed at the end of each month following the monthly equivalent due date. Removal from delinquent status occurs when the cumulative number of monthly payments due has been received by the company. Finance receivables are generally placed on nonaccrual status (nonaccrual of interest and other fees): (i) when a customer is placed on repossession status; (ii) upon receipt of notification of bankruptcy; (iii) upon notification of the death of a customer; or (iv) in other instances in which management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured. Finance receivables that are considered nonperforming include receivables that are on nonaccrual status and receivables that are generally more than 90 days past due. Contract receivables are generally placed on nonaccrual status: (i) when a receivable is more than 90 days past due or at the point a customer’s account is placed on terminated status regardless of its delinquency status; (ii) upon notification of the death of a customer; or (iii) in other instances in which management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured. Contract receivables that are considered nonperforming include receivables that are on nonaccrual status and receivables that are generally more than 90 days past due. The accrual of interest and other fees is resumed when the finance or contract receivable becomes contractually current and collection of all remaining contractual amounts due is reasonably assured. Finance and contract receivables are evaluated for impairment on a collective basis. A receivable is impaired when it is probable that all amounts related to the receivable will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the applicable agreement. Impaired finance and contract receivables are covered by the company’s respective allowances for doubtful accounts and are charged-off against the allowances when appropriate. As of September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, there were $28.2 million and $27.9 million, respectively, of impaired finance receivables, and there were $2.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively, of impaired contract receivables. It is the general practice of Snap-on’s financial services business to not engage in contract or loan modifications. In limited instances, Snap-on’s financial services business may modify certain impaired receivables in troubled debt restructurings. The amount and number of restructured finance and contract receivables as of September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, were immaterial to both the financial services portfolio and the company’s results of operations and financial position.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Snap-on’s effective income tax rate on earnings attributable to Snap-on was 23.8% and 24.6% in the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the first nine months of 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued new guidance affecting the computation of the company’s 2017 federal income tax liability. As a result of this new guidance and additional analysis of the impacts of the Tax Act, the company revised its prior estimates and recorded $1.8 million and $3.9 million of net tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. The additional $3.9 million tax provision during the first nine months of 2018 increased the company’s effective tax rate for the period by 50 basis points. Snap-on and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States and in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits may either be settled with taxing authorities or the statutes of limitations for such items may lapse within the next 12 months, causing Snap-on’s gross unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by a range of zero to $2.5 million. Over the next 12 months, Snap-on anticipates taking certain tax positions on various tax returns for which the related tax benefit does not meet the recognition threshold. Accordingly, Snap-on’s gross unrecognized tax benefits may increase by a range of zero to $0.9 million over the next 12 months for uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in future tax filings.

Notes payable of $232.3 million as of September 28, 2019, included $218.8 million of commercial paper borrowings and $13.5 million of other notes. As of 2018 year end, notes payable of $186.3 million included $177.1 million of commercial paper borrowings and $9.2 million of other notes. On February 20, 2018, Snap-on commenced a tender offer to repurchase $200 million in principal amount of its unsecured 6.70% notes that were scheduled to mature on March 1, 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), with $26.1 million of the 2019 Notes tendered and repaid on February 27, 2018. On February 20, 2018, Snap-on also issued a notice of redemption for any remaining outstanding 2019 Notes not tendered, with the redemption completed on March 22, 2018. The total cash cost for this tender and redemption was $209.1 million, including accrued interest of $1.5 million. Snap-on recorded $7.8 million for the loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the 2019 Notes, which included the redemption premium and other issuance costs associated with this debt in “Other income (expense) - net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. See Note 16 for additional information on Other income (expense) - net. On February 20, 2018, Snap-on sold, at a discount, $400 million of unsecured 4.10% long-term notes that mature on March 1, 2048 (the “2048 Notes”). Interest on the 2048 Notes accrues at a rate of 4.10% per year and is paid semi-annually. Snap-on used a portion of the $395.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of the 2048 Notes, reflecting $3.5 million of transaction costs, to repay the 2019 Notes. The remaining net proceeds were used to repay a portion of its then-outstanding commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes. five five

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 28, 2019
Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments Derivatives: All derivative instruments are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedged transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments recorded in earnings are presented in the same Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings line that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. Gains or losses on derivative instruments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“Accumulated OCI”) are reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item. The criteria used to determine if hedge accounting treatment is appropriate are: (i) the designation of the hedge to an underlying exposure; (ii) whether or not overall risk is being reduced; and (iii) if there is a correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying hedged item. Once a derivative contract is entered into, Snap-on designates the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a natural hedging instrument whose change in fair value is recognized as an economic hedge against changes in the value of the hedged item. Snap-on does not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The company is exposed to global market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and the company’s stock price, and therefore uses derivatives to manage financial exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and stock-based deferred compensation risk. Foreign Currency Risk Management: Snap-on has significant international operations and is subject to certain risks inherent with foreign operations that include currency fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange risk exists to the extent that Snap-on has payment obligations or receipts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, including intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies. To manage these exposures, Snap-on identifies naturally offsetting positions and then purchases hedging instruments to protect the residual net exposures. Snap-on manages most of these exposures on a consolidated basis, which allows for netting of certain exposures to take advantage of natural offsets. Foreign currency forward contracts (“foreign currency forwards”) are used to hedge the net exposures. Gains or losses on net foreign currency hedges are intended to offset losses or gains on the underlying net exposures in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. Snap-on’s foreign currency forwards are typically not designated as hedges. The fair value changes of these contracts are reported in earnings as foreign exchange gain or loss, which is included in “Other income (expense) – net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Interest Rate Risk Management: Snap-on aims to control funding costs by managing the exposure created by the differing maturities and interest rate structures of Snap-on’s borrowings through the use of interest rate swap agreements (“interest rate swaps”) and treasury lock agreements (“treasury locks”). Interest Rate Swaps: Snap-on enters into interest rate swaps to manage risks associated with changing interest rates related to the company’s fixed rate borrowings. Interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. The differentials paid or received on interest rate swaps are recognized as adjustments to “Interest expense” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The change in fair value of the designated and qualifying derivative is recorded in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding and designated as fair value hedges was $100 million as of both September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018. Treasury locks: Snap-on uses treasury locks to manage the potential change in interest rates in anticipation of the issuance of fixed rate debt. Treasury locks are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The differentials to be paid or received on treasury locks related to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt are initially recorded in Accumulated OCI for derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Upon the issuance of debt, the related amount in Accumulated OCI is released over the term of the debt and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Snap-on entered into a $300 million treasury lock in the fourth quarter of 2017 to manage changes in interest rates in anticipation of the issuance of fixed rate debt in the first quarter of 2018. In the first quarter of 2018, Snap-on settled the outstanding $300 million treasury lock after it was deemed to be an ineffective hedge related to the 2048 Notes, which were issued in February 2018. The $13.3 million gain on the settlement of the treasury lock was recorded in “Other income (expense) - net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. There were no treasury locks outstanding as of both September 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018. See Note 16 for additional information on Other income (expense) - net. Stock-based Deferred Compensation Risk Management: Snap-on aims to manage market risk associated with the stock-based portion of its deferred compensation plans through the use of prepaid equity forward agreements (“equity forwards”). Equity forwards are used to aid in offsetting the potential mark-to-market effect on stock-based deferred compensation from changes in Snap-on’s stock price. Since stock-based deferred compensation liabilities increase as the company’s stock price rises and decrease as the company’s stock price declines, the equity forwards are intended to mitigate the potential impact on deferred compensation expense that may result from such mark-to-market changes. As of September 28, 2019, Snap-on had equity forwards in place intended to manage market risk with respect to 108,000 shares of Snap-on common stock associated with its deferred compensation plans. Counterparty Risk: Snap-on is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its various financial agreements, including its foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swap agreements, treasury lock agreements and prepaid equity forward agreements. Snap-on does not obtain collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk, but monitors the credit standing of the counterparties and generally enters into agreements with financial institution counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. Snap-on does not anticipate non-performance by its counterparties, but cannot provide assurances. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values in the financial statements are as follows: September 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 (Amounts in millions) Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Finance receivables – net $ 1,618.2 $ 1,912.4 $ 1,592.9 $ 1,845.4 Contract receivables – net 451.3 499.1 443.2 481.2 Long-term debt and notes payable 1,179.8 1,277.5 1,132.3 1,136.0 The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments: • Finance and contract receivables include both short-term and long-term receivables. The fair value estimates of finance and contract receivables are derived utilizing discounted cash flow analyses performed on groupings of receivables that are similar in terms of loan type and characteristics. The cash flow analyses consider recent prepayment trends where applicable. The cash flows are discounted over the average life of the receivables using a current market discount rate of a similar term adjusted for credit quality. Significant inputs to the fair value measurements of the receivables are unobservable and, as such, are classified as Level 3. • Fair value of long-term debt was estimated, using Level 2 fair value measurements, based on quoted market values of Snap-on’s publicly traded senior debt. The carrying value of long-term debt includes adjustments related to fair value hedges. The fair value of notes payable approximates such instruments’ carrying value due to their short-term nature. • The fair value of all other financial instruments, including trade and other accounts receivable, accounts payable and other financial instruments, approximates such instruments’ carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock Plans	Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock Plans The 2011 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2011 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, performance awards, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock awards (which may be designated as “restricted stock units” or “RSUs”). No further grants are being made under its predecessor, the 2001 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “2001 Plan”), although outstanding awards under the 2001 Plan will continue in accordance with their terms. As of September 28, 2019, the 2011 Plan had 2,007,654 shares available for future grants. The company uses treasury stock to deliver shares under both the 2001 and 2011 Plans. Net stock-based compensation expense was $4.6 million and $18.7 million for the respective three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, and $8.0 million and $22.6 million for the respective three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. Cash received from stock purchase and option plan exercises during the respective three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, totaled $1.6 million and $26.2 million. Cash received from stock purchase and option plan exercises during the respective three and nine months ended September 29, 2018, totaled $25.8 million and $54.1 million. The tax benefit realized from both the exercise and vesting of share-based payment arrangements was $1.0 million and $5.6 million for the respective three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, and $4.5 million and $12.1 million for the respective three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. Stock Options Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant and have a contractual term of ten years. Stock option grants vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The company uses historical data regarding stock option exercise and forfeiture behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the option. The expected dividend yield is based on the company’s historical dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve on the grant date for the expected term of the option. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Nine Months Ended September 28, 2019 September 29, 2018 Expected term of option (in years) 5.53 5.35 Expected volatility factor 21.30% 20.08% Expected dividend yield 1.79% 1.68% Risk-free interest rate 2.54% 2.71% A summary of stock option activity as of and for the nine months ended September 28, 2019, is presented below: Shares (in thousands) Exercise Remaining Contractual Term* (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at December 29, 2018 3,130 $ 127.57 Granted 462 155.93 Exercised (191) 77.92 Forfeited or expired (49) 161.24 Outstanding at September 28, 2019 3,352 133.82 6.2 $ 82.8 Exercisable at September 28, 2019 2,404 123.47 5.2 82.8 * Weighted-average The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, was $29.98 and $30.21, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $3.9 million and $16.2 million during the respective three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, and $18.1 million and $39.3 million during the respective three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. The fair value of stock options vested was $15.7 million and $16.0 million during the respective nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018. As of September 28, 2019, there was $19.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Performance Awards Performance awards, which are granted as performance share units (“PSUs”) and performance-based RSUs, are earned and expensed using the fair value of the award over a contractual term of three years based on the company’s performance. Vesting of the performance awards is dependent upon performance relative to pre-defined goals for revenue growth and return on net assets for the applicable performance period. For performance achieved above specified levels, the recipient may earn additional shares of stock, not to exceed 100% of the number of performance awards initially granted. The PSUs have a three one two The fair value of performance awards is calculated using the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant and assumed forfeitures based on recent historical experience; in recent years, forfeitures have not been significant. The weighted-average grant date fair value of performance awards granted during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, was $155.92 and $161.18, respectively. PSUs related to 32,114 shares and 50,182 shares were paid out during the respective nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018. Earned PSUs are generally paid out following the conclusion of the applicable performance period upon approval by the Organization and Executive Compensation Committee of the company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Based on the company’s 2018 performance, 33,170 RSUs granted in 2018 were earned; assuming continued employment, these RSUs will vest at the end of fiscal 2020. Based on the company’s 2017 performance, 13,648 RSUs granted in 2017 were earned; assuming continued employment, these RSUs will vest at the end of fiscal 2019. Based on the company’s 2016 performance, 45,502 RSUs granted in 2016 were earned; these RSUs vested as of fiscal 2018 year end and were paid out shortly thereafter. Changes to the company’s non-vested performance awards during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, are as follows: Shares (in thousands) Fair Value Non-vested performance awards at December 29, 2018 120 $ 164.00 Granted 84 155.92 Vested (2) 164.55 Cancellations and other (42) 160.11 Non-vested performance awards at September 28, 2019 160 160.73 * Weighted-average As of September 28, 2019, there was $12.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance awards that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) The company also issues stock-settled and cash-settled SARs to certain key non-U.S. employees. SARs have a contractual term of ten years and vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. SARs are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of a share of Snap-on’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock-settled SARs are accounted for as equity instruments and provide for the issuance of Snap-on common stock equal to the amount by which the company’s stock has appreciated over the exercise price. Stock-settled SARs have an effect on dilutive shares and shares outstanding as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock value over the exercise price will be settled in shares of common stock. Cash-settled SARs provide for the cash payment of the excess of the fair market value of Snap-on’s common stock price on the date of exercise over the grant price. Cash-settled SARs have no effect on dilutive shares or shares outstanding as any appreciation of Snap-on’s common stock over the grant price is paid in cash and not in common stock. The fair value of stock-settled SARs is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of cash-settled SARs is revalued (mark-to-market) each reporting period using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on Snap-on’s period-end stock price. The company uses historical data regarding SARs exercise and forfeiture behaviors for different participating groups to estimate the expected term of the SARs granted based on the period of time that similar instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the company’s stock for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The expected dividend yield is based on the company’s historical dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect as of the grant date (for stock-settled SARs) or reporting date (for cash-settled SARs) for the length of time corresponding to the expected term of the SARs. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of stock-settled SARs granted during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Nine Months Ended September 28, 2019 September 29, 2018 Expected term of stock-settled SARs (in years) 3.65 3.58 Expected volatility factor 22.60% 20.08% Expected dividend yield 1.81% 1.63% Risk-free interest rate 2.48% 2.40% Changes to the company’s stock-settled SARs during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, are as follows: Stock-settled SARs (in thousands) Exercise Remaining Contractual Term* (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at December 29, 2018 372 $ 147.41 Granted 92 155.95 Exercised (1) 96.57 Forfeited or expired (6) 150.14 Outstanding at September 28, 2019 457 149.19 7.2 $ 4.6 Exercisable at September 28, 2019 277 142.29 6.2 4.6 * Weighted-average The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock-settled SARs granted during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, was $26.45 and $24.71, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock-settled SARs exercised was $0.1 million during both the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, and $1.2 million and $1.8 million during the respective three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. The fair value of stock-settled SARs vested was $2.1 million and $2.2 million during the respective nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018. As of September 28, 2019, there was $3.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-settled SARs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in calculating the fair value of cash-settled SARs granted during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Nine Months Ended September 28, 2019 September 29, 2018 Expected term of cash-settled SARs (in years) 3.09 3.01 Expected volatility factor 23.36% 21.22% Expected dividend yield 1.94% 1.70% Risk-free interest rate 1.58% 2.88% The intrinsic value of cash-settled SARs exercised was zero and $0.5 million during the respective three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, and $1.1 million and $3.2 million during the respective three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. The fair value of cash-settled SARs vested was $0.1 million during both the nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018. Changes to the company’s non-vested cash-settled SARs during the nine months ended September 28, 2019, are as follows: Cash-settled SARs (in thousands) Fair Value Non-vested cash-settled SARs at December 29, 2018 3 $ 14.89 Granted 1 22.90 Vested (2) 21.38 Non-vested cash-settled SARs at September 28, 2019 2 19.50 * Weighted-average As of September 28, 2019, there was $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested cash-settled SARs that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Restricted Stock Awards – Non-employee Directors The company awarded 7,605 shares and 6,975 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors for the respective nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is expensed over a one-year vesting period based on the fair value on the date of grant. All restrictions generally lapse upon the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date, the recipient’s death or disability or in the event of a change in control, as defined in the 2011 Plan. If termination of the recipient’s service occurs prior to the first anniversary of the grant date for any reason other than death or disability, the shares of restricted stock would be forfeited, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

Snap-on calculates its accrual requirements based on historic warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience, including the timing of claims during the warranty period and actual costs incurred. Snap-on’s product warranty accrual activity for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (Amounts in millions) September 28, 2019 September 29, 2018 September 28, 2019 September 29, 2018 Warranty reserve: Beginning of period $ 17.8 $ 17.5 $ 17.1 $ 17.2 Additions 3.8 3.0 12.5 10.9 Usage (4.6) (3.3) (12.6) (10.9) End of period $ 17.0 $ 17.2 $ 17.0 $ 17.2 The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 29, 2018, included an accrual of $30.9 million related to a judgment from the fourth quarter of 2017 for a patent-related litigation matter that was being appealed. During the first nine months of 2019, that matter was settled and the company recognized an $11.6 million benefit in “Operating expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the nine months ended September 28, 2019, as a result of the settlement. Snap-on is involved in various legal matters that are being litigated and/or settled in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these legal matters, management believes that the results of all legal matters will not have a material impact on Snap-on’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. Finance leases and lessor accounting remained substantially unchanged. The adoption of Topic 842 impacted the company’s previously reported results as follows: (Amounts in millions) Classification Balance at Topic 842 Opening Balance at Assets Finance lease assets Property and equipment - net $ 7.8 $ — $ 7.8 Operating lease assets Operating lease right-of-use assets — 60.5 60.5 Liabilities Current: Finance lease liabilities Other accrued liabilities $ 1.2 $ — $ 1.2 Operating lease liabilities Other accrued liabilities — 20.2 20.2 Non-current: Finance lease liabilities Other long-term liabilities $ 6.6 $ — $ 6.6 Operating lease liabilities Operating lease liabilities — 40.4 40.4 Lessee Accounting Snap-on determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Snap-on has operating and finance leases for manufacturing plants, distribution centers, software development facilities, financial services offices, data centers, company store vans and certain equipment. Snap-on’s leases have lease terms of one year to 20 years and some include options to extend and/or terminate the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal and purchase options are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligation, respectively. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited to the expected term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The company’s lease agreements do not contain any material variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or any material restrictive covenants. ROU assets represent Snap-on’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, Snap-on uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, Snap-on uses its country specific incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Snap-on has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For all equipment leases, including vehicles, Snap-on accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Total lease costs consist of the following: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (Amounts in millions) September 28, 2019 September 28, 2019 Finance lease costs*: Amortization of ROU assets $ 0.4 $ 1.1 Interest on lease liabilities 0.1 0.2 Operating lease costs* 6.1 18.6 Total lease costs $ 6.6 $ 19.9 * Includes short-term leases, variable lease costs and sublease income, which are immaterial.

Lessor Accounting Snap-on’s Financial Services business offers its customers lease financing for the lease of tools, diagnostics and equipment products and to franchisees who require financing for vehicle leases. Snap-on accounts for its financial services leases as sales-type leases. In certain circumstances, the lessee has the option to terminate the lease. In the event of the lessee’s deteriorated financial condition or default, Snap-on has the right to terminate the lease. The leases contain an end-of-term purchase option that is generally insignificant and is reasonably certain to be exercised by the lessee. The company recognizes the net investment in the lease as the sum of the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual value, both of which are measured at the present value using the interest rate implicit in the lease. The difference between the undiscounted lease payments received over the lease term and the related net investment in the lease is reported as unearned finance charges. Unearned finance charges are amortized to income over the life of the contract and are included as a component of “Financial services revenue” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Sales-type leases included in both “Finance receivables - net” and “Long-term finance receivables - net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 28, 2019, have future minimum lease payments, including unguaranteed residual value, of $91.4 million and unearned finance charges of $17.8 million, with lease terms of up to five years. Sales-type leases included in both “Contract receivables - net” and “Long-term contract receivables - net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 28, 2019, have future minimum lease payments, including unguaranteed residual value, of $256.9 million and unearned finance charges of $46.1 million, with lease terms of up to seven years.

Snap-on’s reportable business segments are: (i) the Commercial & Industrial Group; (ii) the Snap-on Tools Group; (iii) the Repair Systems & Information Group; and (iv) Financial Services. The Commercial & Industrial Group consists of business operations serving a broad range of industrial and commercial customers worldwide, including customers in the aerospace, natural resources, government, power generation, transportation and technical education market segments (collectively, “critical industries”), primarily through direct and distributor channels. The Snap-on Tools Group consists of business operations primarily serving vehicle service and repair technicians through the company’s worldwide mobile tool distribution channel. The Repair Systems & Information Group consists of business operations serving other professional vehicle repair customers worldwide, primarily owners and managers of independent repair shops and OEM dealership service and repair shops (“OEM dealerships”), through direct and distributor channels. Financial Services consists of the business operations of Snap-on’s finance subsidiaries. Snap-on evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on segment revenues, including both external and intersegment net sales, and segment operating earnings. Snap-on accounts for intersegment sales and transfers based primarily on standard costs with reasonable mark-ups established between the segments. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets used in the respective reportable segment’s operations. Corporate assets consist of cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash held at Financial Services), deferred income taxes and certain other assets. All significant intersegment amounts are eliminated to arrive at Snap-on’s consolidated financial results.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of consolidation and presentation	Principles of consolidation and presentation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Snap-on Incorporated and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Snap-on” or the “company”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Snap-on’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 (“2018 year end”). The company’s 2019 fiscal third quarter ended on September 28, 2019; the 2018 fiscal third quarter ended on September 29, 2018. Each of the company’s 2019 and 2018 fiscal first, second and third quarters contained 13 weeks of operating results. Snap-on’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019, and September 29, 2018, have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments The fair value of the company’s derivative financial instruments is generally determined using quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the company’s non-derivative financial instruments either approximates fair value, due to their short-term nature, or the amount disclosed for fair value is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis or quoted market values. See Note 9 for further information on financial instruments.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards The following new accounting pronouncements were adopted in fiscal year 2019: On December 30, 2018, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2019 fiscal year, Snap-on adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The amendments in this update also made certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On December 30, 2018, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2019 fiscal year, Snap-on adopted ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) , which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The adoption of this ASU resulted in an increase of $45.9 million to retained earnings on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity with an offsetting decrease in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). On December 30, 2018, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2019 fiscal year, Snap-on adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 is intended to represent an improvement over previous GAAP, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most leases. Topic 842, which supersedes most current lease guidance, affects any entity that enters into a lease with some specified scope exemptions. Snap-on adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach, using a date of initial application of December 30, 2018. Snap-on elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the standard, which also allowed the company to carry forward historical lease classifications. The company also elected the practical expedient related to treating lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all equipment leases as well as electing a policy exclusion permitting leases with an original lease term of less than one year to be excluded from the Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See note 15 for further information on leases. The following new accounting pronouncements, and related impacts on adoption, are being evaluated by the company: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement , which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing, modifying and adding disclosures related to fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General Subtopic 715-20 - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans , which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing and adding disclosures related to defined benefit plans. ASU No. 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020; the ASU allows for early adoption in any year end after issuance of the update. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) , to require the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2016-13, is to provide financial statement users with more information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 will require the company to record an estimate of all expected credit losses based on historical experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast. This guidance will replace the company's current incurred loss model, which uses current expected credit losses to estimate credit loss reserves. Topic 326 is expected to increase the company’s allowance for doubtful accounts as a result of recording reserves for expected losses, as well as extending the loss estimate period over the entire life of the receivable, in addition to losses deemed to be already incurred. Snap-on commenced its assessment of Topic 326 during the second half of 2018 and developed a comprehensive project plan that included representatives from the company’s business segments. The project plan includes analyzing the standard’s potential change on the company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reserves, identifying reporting requirements of the new standard, and identifying changes to the company’s business processes, systems and controls, including model development and validation, to support the accounting and disclosures under Topic 326. Upon adoption, the allowance for doubtful accounts is expected to increase with an offsetting adjustment, net of taxes, to retained earnings. Updates to the estimate each period after initial adoption will be recorded through provision expense. The extent of the impact upon adoption will depend on the composition of the company’s receivable portfolio and economic conditions at that date, as well as forecasted conditions thereafter. The credit risk of the portfolio and associated losses will not change upon adoption. The company continues to assess the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
