Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Snap-on provides product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recorded. 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 month periods ended September 27, 2025, and September 28, 2024, is as follows:
| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended

In the ordinary course of business, Snap-on is subject to legal disputes that are being litigated and/or settled. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2025, include a benefit in “Operating expenses” of $22.0 million for the settlement of a legal matter (the “2025 legal settlement”). In addition, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the nine months ended September 28, 2024, include a benefit in “Operating expenses” of $22.5 million, for the final payments received associated with a separate legal matter (the “2024 legal payments”). Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of 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.
