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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 (“2020 year end”). The company’s 2021 fiscal year, which ends on January 1, 2022, will contain 52 weeks of operating results. The company’s 2020 fiscal year contained 53 weeks of operating results, with the additional week occurring in the fourth quarter. Snap-on’s 2021 fiscal third quarter ended on October 2, 2021; the 2020 fiscal third quarter ended on September 26, 2020. The company’s 2021 and 2020 fiscal third quarters each 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 October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, 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 10 for further information on financial instruments. New Accounting Standards On January 3, 2021, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2021 fiscal year, the company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which is designed to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The tools product category includes 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 dealership service and repair shops (“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 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 include 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 $198.0 million of long-term contracts that have fixed consideration that extends beyond one year as of October 2, 2021. Snap-on expects to recognize approximately 50% of these contracts as revenue by the end of fiscal 2022, an additional 40% by the end of fiscal 2024 and the balance thereafter. Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenues): Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of Snap-on’s performance. The timing of payment is typically on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. The balance of total contract liabilities was $67.6 million and $61.0 million at October 2, 2021, and January 2, 2021, respectively. The current portion of contract liabilities is included in “Other accrued liabilities” and the non-current portion of such liabilities is included in “Other long-term liabilities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, Snap-on recognized revenue of $7.1 million and $48.7 million, respectively, that was included in the $61.0 million contract liability balance at January 2, 2021, which was primarily from the amortization of software subscriptions, extended warranties and other subscription agreements.

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 with payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 120 days. The components of Snap-on’s trade and other accounts receivable as of October 2, 2021, and January 2, 2021, are as follows: (Amounts in millions) October 2, 2021 January 2, 2021 Trade and other accounts receivable $ 684.7 $ 667.0 Allowances for credit losses (31.5) (26.3) Total trade and other accounts receivable – net $ 653.2 $ 640.7 The following is a rollforward of the allowances for credit losses related to trade and other accounts receivable for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020: Three months ended Nine Months Ended (Amounts in millions) October 2, 2021 September 26, 2020 October 2, 2021 September 26, 2020 Allowances for credit losses: Beginning of period $ 29.5 $ 23.6 $ 26.3 $ 20.9 Provision for credit losses 4.4 4.1 11.7 13.2 Charge-offs (1.7) (4.5) (5.9) (10.0) Recoveries — — — — Currency translation (0.7) 0.3 (0.6) (0.6) End of period $ 31.5 $ 23.5 $ 31.5 $ 23.5 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 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 payment terms of approximately four years. Contract receivables, with payment terms of up to 10 years, are comprised of extended-term 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, as well as extended-term contracts 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. Finance and contract receivables are generally secured by the underlying tools and/or diagnostic or equipment products financed and, for contracts to franchisees, other franchisee assets. The components of Snap-on’s current finance and contract receivables as of October 2, 2021, and January 2, 2021, are as follows: (Amounts in millions) October 2, 2021 January 2, 2021 Finance installment receivables $ 558.8 $ 533.9 Finance lease receivables, net of unearned finance charges of $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively 8.6 20.2 Total finance receivables 567.4 554.1 Contract installment receivables 64.5 59.1 Contract lease receivables, net of unearned finance charges of $18.5 million and $18.2 million, respectively 55.6 55.7 Total contract receivables 120.1 114.8 Total 687.5 668.9 Allowances for credit losses: Finance installment receivables (22.5) (23.6) Finance lease receivables (0.1) (0.3) Total finance allowance for credit losses (22.6) (23.9) Contract installment receivables (1.0) (1.4) Contract lease receivables (1.3) (0.9) Total contract allowance for credit losses (2.3) (2.3) Total allowance for credit losses (24.9) (26.2) Total current finance and contract receivables – net $ 662.6 $ 642.7 Finance receivables – net $ 544.8 $ 530.2 Contract receivables – net 117.8 112.5 Total current finance and contract receivables – net $ 662.6 $ 642.7 The components of Snap-on’s finance and contract receivables with payment terms beyond one year as of October 2, 2021, and January 2, 2021, are as follows: (Amounts in millions) October 2, 2021 January 2, 2021 Finance installment receivables $ 1,151.6 $ 1,173.1 Finance lease receivables, net of unearned finance charges of $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively 5.8 15.6 Total finance receivables 1,157.4 1,188.7 Contract installment receivables 199.5 199.7 Contract lease receivables, net of unearned finance charges of $30.5 million and $30.2 million, respectively 187.0 181.7 Total contract receivables 386.5 381.4 Total 1,543.9 1,570.1 Allowances for credit losses: Finance installment receivables (46.9) (52.1) Finance lease receivables (0.1) (0.3) Total finance allowance for credit losses (47.0) (52.4) Contract installment receivables (3.0) (3.1) Contract lease receivables (3.4) (3.6) Total contract allowance for credit losses (6.4) (6.7) Total allowance for credit losses (53.4) (59.1) Total long-term finance and contract receivables – net $ 1,490.5 $ 1,511.0 Finance receivables – net $ 1,110.4 $ 1,136.3 Contract receivables – net 380.1 374.7 Total long-term finance and contract receivables – net $ 1,490.5 $ 1,511.0 Credit quality: The company’s receivable portfolio is comprised of two portfolio segments, finance and contract receivables, which are the same segments used to estimate expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses. The amortized cost basis for finance and contract receivables is the amount originated adjusted for applicable accrued interest and net of deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, and write-offs. The company monitors and assesses credit risk based on the characteristics of each portfolio segment. When extending credit, Snap-on evaluates the collectability of the receivables based on a combination of various financial and qualitative factors that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. These factors may include the customer’s financial condition, past payment experience, and credit bureau and proprietary Snap-on credit model information, as well as the value of the underlying collateral. For finance and contract receivables, Snap-on assesses quantitative and qualitative factors through the use of credit quality indicators consisting primarily of collection experience and related internal metrics. Delinquency is the primary indicator of credit quality for finance and contract receivables. Snap-on conducts monthly reviews of credit and collection performance for both the finance and contract receivable portfolios focusing on data such as delinquency trends, nonaccrual receivables, and write-off and recovery activity. These reviews allow for the formulation of collection strategies and potential collection policy modifications in response to changing risk profiles in the finance and contract receivable portfolios. The other internal metrics include credit exposure by customer and delinquency classification to further monitor changing risk profiles. The company maintains a system that aggregates credit exposure and provides delinquency data by days past due aging categories. A receivable 30 days or more past due is considered delinquent. However, customers are monitored prior to becoming 30 days past due. The amortized cost basis of finance and contract receivables by origination year as of October 2, 2021, are as follows: (Amounts in millions) 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 Prior Total Finance Receivables: Delinquent $ 7.0 $ 16.9 $ 9.2 $ 5.1 $ 2.3 $ 0.9 $ 41.4 Non-delinquent 900.2 505.3 181.5 70.5 21.8 4.1 1,683.4 Total Finance receivables $ 907.2 $ 522.2 $ 190.7 $ 75.6 $ 24.1 $ 5.0 $ 1,724.8 Contract receivables: Delinquent $ 0.1 $ 0.3 $ 0.7 $ 0.6 $ 0.3 $ 0.1 $ 2.1 Non-delinquent 145.0 133.9 96.8 63.9 35.6 29.3 504.5 Total Contract receivables $ 145.1 $ 134.2 $ 97.5 $ 64.5 $ 35.9 $ 29.4 $ 506.6 Allowance for credit losses: The allowance for credit losses utilizes an expected credit loss objective for the recognition of credit losses on receivables over the contractual life using historical experience, asset specific risk characteristics, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and the appropriate reversion period, when applicable. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level that is considered adequate to cover credit-related losses on the receivables. Management performs detailed reviews of its receivables on a monthly and/or quarterly basis to assess the adequacy of the allowance and determine if any impairment has occurred. A receivable generally has credit losses when it is expected that all amounts related to the receivable will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the agreement. Amounts determined to be uncollectable are charged directly against the allowance, while amounts recovered on previously written-off accounts increase the allowance. For both finance and contract receivables, net write-offs include the principal amount of losses written off as well as written-off accrued interest and fees, and recourse from franchisees on finance receivables. Recovered interest and fees previously written off are recorded through the allowance for credit losses and increase the allowance. Finance receivables are assessed for write-off when an account becomes 120 days past due and are written off typically within 60 days of asset repossession. Contract receivables related to equipment leases are generally written off when an account becomes 150 days past due, while contract receivables related to franchise finance and van leases are generally written off up to 180 days past the asset return date. For finance and contract receivables, customer bankruptcies are generally written off upon notification that the associated debt is not being reaffirmed or, in any event, no later than 180 days past due. Changes to the allowances for credit losses are maintained through adjustments to the provision for credit losses. For finance receivables, the company uses a vintage loss rate methodology to determine expected losses. Vintage analysis aims to calculate losses based on the timing of the losses relative to the origination of the receivables. The finance receivable portfolio contains a substantial amount of homogeneous contracts which fits well with the vintage analysis. For contract receivables, the company primarily uses a Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity methodology (“WARM”) to determine expected losses. The WARM methodology calculates the average annual write-off rate and applies it to the remaining term of the receivables. The WARM method is used since the contract receivables have limited loss experience over generally longer terms and, therefore, the predictive loss patterns are more difficult to estimate. The company performed a correlation analysis to compare historical losses to various economic factors. The primary economic factors considered were real gross domestic product, civilian unemployment, industrial production index, and repair and maintenance employment rate; the company determined that there is limited correlation between the historical losses and economic factors. As a result, consideration was given to qualitative factors to adjust the reserve balance for asset specific risk characteristics, current conditions and future expectations. Similar qualitative factors are considered for both finance and contract receivables. The qualitative factors used in determining the estimate of expected credit losses are influenced by the changes in the composition of the portfolio, underwriting practices, and other relevant conditions that were different from the historical periods, which included considering the impact of the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted each period for changes in the credit risk and expected lifetime credit losses. The following is a rollforward of the allowances for credit losses for finance and contract receivables for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (Amounts in millions) Finance Contract Finance Contract Allowances for credit losses: Beginning of period $ 72.3 $ 9.0 $ 76.3 $ 9.0 Provision for credit losses 5.8 — 23.7 0.8 Charge-offs (10.8) (0.4) (38.1) (1.4) Recoveries 2.3 0.1 7.7 0.3 Currency translation — — — — End of period $ 69.6 $ 8.7 $ 69.6 $ 8.7 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (Amounts in millions) Finance Receivables Contract Receivables Finance Receivables Contract Receivables Allowances for credit losses: Beginning of period $ 72.5 $ 9.1 $ 61.9 $ 5.6 Impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 — — 5.2 2.9 Provision for credit losses 9.8 0.5 41.2 3.1 Charge-offs (9.5) (0.7) (39.6) (2.9) Recoveries 2.1 0.1 6.3 0.3 Currency translation 0.1 — — — End of period $ 75.0 $ 9.0 $ 75.0 $ 9.0 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 contractual payment due date. The entire receivable balance of a contract is considered delinquent when contractual payments become 30 days past due. Removal from delinquent status occurs when the cumulative amount of monthly contractual payments then due have been received by the company. It is the general practice of Snap-on’s financial services business not to engage in contract or loan modifications. In limited instances, Snap-on’s financial services business may modify certain receivables in troubled debt restructurings. The amount and number of restructured finance and contract receivables as of October 2, 2021, and January 2, 2021, were immaterial to both the financial services portfolio and the company’s results of operations and financial position.

At the time of write-off, the entire balance including the accrued but unpaid interest income amount is recorded as a loss. 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. 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. 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. A receivable generally has credit losses when it is expected that all amounts related to the receivable will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the applicable agreement. Such finance and contract receivables are covered by the company’s respective allowances for credit losses and are written-off against the allowances when appropriate. The amount of finance and contract receivables on nonaccrual status as of October 2, 2021, and January 2, 2021, is as follows: (Amounts in millions) October 2, 2021 January 2, 2021 Finance receivables $ 8.4 $ 9.6 Contract receivables 1.9 2.4

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Snap-on’s effective income tax rate on earnings attributable to Snap-on was 23.5% and 23.8% in the respective first nine month periods of 2021 and 2020. 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 $0.7 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 $0.8 million over the next 12 months for uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in future tax filings.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments	9 Months Ended
	Oct. 02, 2021
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 and effective 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. See Note 17 for additional information on Other income (expense) - net. 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 the fair value of the derivative is recorded in “Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidate d Balance Sheets. As of January 2, 2021, the notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding and designated as fair value hedges was $100.0 million. The interest rate swaps matured in the third quarter and there were no outstanding interest rate swaps as of October 2, 2021. 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. There were no treasury locks outstanding as of both October 2, 2021, and January 2, 2021. 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 October 2, 2021, Snap-on had equity forwards in place intended to manage market risk with respect to 81,000 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: October 2, 2021 January 2, 2021 (Amounts in millions) Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Finance receivables – net $ 1,655.2 $ 2,002.0 $ 1,666.5 $ 2,024.4 Contract receivables – net 497.9 555.9 487.2 545.4 Long-term debt and notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt 1,200.1 1,350.7 1,450.6 1,678.2 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 and current maturities of long-term debt were 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 and current maturities 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 continue in accordance with their terms. As of October 2, 2021, the 2011 Plan had 3,640,311 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 $9.5 million and $33.3 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, and $5.6 million and $12.5 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2020. Cash received from stock purchase and option plan exercises during the respective three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, totaled $3.6 million and $158.4 million. Cash received from stock purchase and option plan exercises during the respective three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2020 totaled $2.7 million and $16.5 million. The tax benefit realized from both the exercise and vesting of share-based payment arrangements was $2.2 million and $16.1 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, and $1.0 million and $3.3 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2020. 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 10 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 expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. 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 October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Nine Months Ended October 2, 2021 September 26, 2020 Expected term of option (in years) 5.33 5.53 Expected volatility factor 21.80% 21.67% Expected dividend yield 2.59% 2.78% Risk-free interest rate 0.67% 1.50% A summary of stock option activity as of and for the nine months ended October 2, 2021, is presented below: Shares (in thousands) Exercise Remaining Contractual Term* (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at January 2, 2021 3,120 $ 142.47 Granted 333 189.91 Exercised (932) 140.13 Forfeited or expired (27) 169.32 Outstanding at October 2, 2021 2,494 149.39 5.9 $ 149.7 Exercisable at October 2, 2021 1,735 140.32 4.6 119.9 * Weighted-average The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, was $26.19 and $22.95, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $8.6 million and $67.5 million during the respective three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, and $4.0 million and $8.7 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended September 26, 2020. The fair value of stock options vested was $12.5 million and $14.6 million during the respective nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020. As of October 2, 2021, there was $12.8 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 1.6 years. Performance Share Unit and Restricted Stock Unit Awards: Performance share units (“PSUs”) 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 PSUs 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-year performance period based on the results of the consolidated financial metrics of the company. Time-based RSUs are earned and expensed using the fair value of the award over the contractual term of three years. Vesting of the time-based RSUs is dependent upon continued employment over the 3-year cliff vesting period. The fair value of PSUs and RSUs 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 awards granted during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, was $184.69 and $155.34, respectively. There were no PSUs paid out during the nine months ended October 2, 2021. PSUs related to 21,184 shares were paid out during the nine months ended September 26, 2020. Earned PSUs vest and 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”). Changes to the company’s non-vested PSUs and RSUs during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, are as follows: Shares (in thousands) Fair Value Non-vested performance awards at January 2, 2021 76 $ 155.61 Granted 175 184.69 Vested — — Cancellations and other (3) 181.51 Non-vested performance awards at October 2, 2021 248 175.79 * Weighted-average As of October 2, 2021, there was $25.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested PSUs and RSUs that are expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 1.7 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 expected annual dividend as a percentage of the market value of our common stock as of the date of grant (for stock-settled SARs) or reporting date (for cash-settled SARs). 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 October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, using the Black-Scholes valuation model: Nine Months Ended October 2, 2021 September 26, 2020 Expected term of stock-settled SARs (in years) 3.94 3.75 Expected volatility factor 22.50% 22.50% Expected dividend yield 2.59% 2.78% Risk-free interest rate 0.19% 1.42% Changes to the company’s stock-settled SARs during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, are as follows: Stock-settled SARs (in thousands) Exercise Remaining Contractual Term* (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) Outstanding at January 2, 2021 502 $ 151.59 Granted 83 189.89 Exercised (48) 144.68 Forfeited or expired (139) 152.63 Outstanding at October 2, 2021 398 159.99 6.9 $ 19.7 Exercisable at October 2, 2021 228 151.04 5.6 13.3 * Weighted-average The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock-settled SARs granted during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, was $24.05 and $21.31, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock-settled SARs exercised was $0.1 million and $3.1 million during the respective three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, and zero for both the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020. The fair value of stock-settled SARs vested was $2.1 million and $2.3 million during the respective nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020. As of October 2, 2021, there was $2.7 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.

Restricted Stock Awards – Non-employee Directors: The company awarded 6,858 shares and 7,380 shares of restricted stock to non-employee directors for the respective nine month periods ended October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020. 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.

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 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.

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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021 (“2020 year end”). The company’s 2021 fiscal year, which ends on January 1, 2022, will contain 52 weeks of operating results. The company’s 2020 fiscal year contained 53 weeks of operating results, with the additional week occurring in the fourth quarter. Snap-on’s 2021 fiscal third quarter ended on October 2, 2021; the 2020 fiscal third quarter ended on September 26, 2020. The company’s 2021 and 2020 fiscal third quarters each 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 October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, 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 10 for further information on financial instruments.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards On January 3, 2021, the beginning of Snap-on’s 2021 fiscal year, the company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which is designed to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
