6.125% NOTE DUE 2021

CUSIP 833034 AH4

No. R-4

US$250,000,000

SNAP-ON INCORPORATED, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assignees, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($250,000,000) on September 1, 2021 (the “Stated Maturity Date”), and to pay interest thereon from August 14, 2009, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year and at maturity (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on March 1, 2010 (in each case excluding the Interest Payment Date), at the rate of 6.125% per annum, until the principal hereof becomes due and payable, and at such rate on any overdue principal and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) on any overdue installment of interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this 6.125% Note Due 2021 (this “Note,” and all of the Notes collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”) (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable on the Interest Payment Date occurring at maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal shall be payable. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. If any Interest Payment Date, any Redemption Date (as defined below) or the Stated Maturity Date or other maturity date in respect of the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the payment to be made on such date will be made on the next Business Day without additional interest and with the same effect as if it were made on the originally scheduled date.

Payments of interest will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Principal and premium, if any, and interest payable at Stated Maturity or other maturity date in respect of the Notes will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of the Notes at the office of a paying agent in The City of New York, New York or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate.

Unless the certificate of authentication herein has been duly executed by the Trustee referred to herein by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the “Debt Securities”), issued or to be issued in one or more series under an indenture, dated as of January 8, 2007 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of 6.125% Notes due 2021 initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000, except that the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, “reopen” the series and issue additional notes that have the same ranking, interest rate, Stated Maturity Date and other terms as this Note.

All or a portion of the Notes may be redeemed by the Company at any time or from time to time. The price payable for the Notes to be redeemed (the “Redemption Price”) on the date of redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) will be equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed on the Redemption Date and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed on that Redemption Date (not including any portion of any payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 37.5 basis points, plus in either of case (i) or (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed to the Redemption Date. The principal amount of the Notes called for redemption shall become due on the Redemption Date. Holders of Notes to be redeemed will receive notice thereof, as provided in the Indenture, by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. If fewer than all of the Notes that are not represented by a Global Debt Security are (or if less than all of the principal amount of Notes represented by a Global Debt Security is) to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest payable on the principal amount of Notes being redeemed that are due and payable on an Interest Payment Date falling on a Redemption Date shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to this Note and the Indenture.

For purposes of determining the Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable:

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three (3) such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations, or (C) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such Quotation.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (A) each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Mizuho Securities USA Inc. and UBS Securities LLC (or their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers (as defined below)) and their respective successors, provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (B) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) selected by the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised the right to redeem all of the Notes as described above, the Company will make an offer to each Holder to repurchase in cash all or any part (equal to $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company will mail by first-class mail a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date on which such notice is mailed or, if the notice is mailed prior to the Change of Control, at least 30 days, but no more than 60 days, from the date on which the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs. The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the offer to repurchase the Notes is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act (as defined below) and any other securities laws and regulations under the Exchange Act to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with these Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under these Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer; (2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes being repurchased by the Company.

The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such third party’s offer.

For purposes of this Note, the following definitions are applicable:

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Notes are rated below Investment Grade (as defined below) by both Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date within the 60-day period after the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) the first public notice (including, without limitation, any filing or report made in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any press release or public announcement made by the Company, the “Public Notice”) of the Company’s intention to effect a Change of Control (which 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies); providedthat a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at the Company’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation or as a pledge for security purposes only), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any person, other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; (2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any person becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s then outstanding Voting Stock (as defined below) or other Voting Stock into which the Company’s Voting Stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; (3) the first day upon which a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors are not Continuing Directors (as defined below); or (4) the approval by the holders of the Company’s common stock of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2)(a) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (b) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company. The term “person,” as used in this definition, has the meaning given thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

“Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, each member of the Company’s Board of Directors who (1) was a member of such Board of Directors on the date the Notes were issued or (2) was nominated for election, elected or appointed to such Board of Directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such Board of Directors at the time of such nomination, election or appointment (either by a specific vote or by approval of the Company’s proxy statement in which such member was named as a nominee for election as a director, without objection to such nomination).

“Exchange Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

“Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Notes or fails to make a rating of the Notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be.

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc., and its successors.

“Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date, the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the Board of Directors of such person.

The Company shall have no obligation to redeem or purchase the Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared, or shall become, due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

With the consent of the Holders of greater than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any indentures supplemental thereto or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) without the consent of each Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby, extend the fixed maturity of the Notes, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or make the principal thereof or interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided herein, or (b) without the consent of the Holders of all of the Outstanding Notes affected, reduce the percentage of Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent (i) to any such supplemental indenture, (ii) to rescind and annul a declaration that the Notes are due and payable as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) to waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences and (iv) to waive compliance with certain other provisions contained in the Indenture.

The Company and the Trustee may also enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture without the consent of the Holders for limited purposes specified in the Indenture.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except a default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes.

Holders of Notes may not enforce their rights pursuant to the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes that are of other authorized denominations.

Notes to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Notes which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note at any such office or agency, the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Note for an equal aggregate principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Note by the Debt Security Registrar (initially, U.S. Bank National Association) in the registry books maintained by such Debt Security Registrar in The City of New York, New York, and delivery of such Note, duly authenticated, shall be deemed to complete the registration or registration of transfer of such Note.

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner for all purposes whether or not such Note be overdue and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Certain of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes may be terminated if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or eligible instruments sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all of the Notes, as described in the Indenture.

This Note is in the form of a Global Security as provided in the Indenture. If at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for this Note or if at any time the Depository for the Notes shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to this Note. If a successor Depository for this Note is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for the Global Security representing Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Note in exchange for this Note.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Indenture, any supplemental indenture, or of any Note, or for any claim based thereon or hereon, or otherwise in respect thereof or hereof, as the case may be, shall be had against any incorporator, organizer, member, owner, manager, employee, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any Subsidiary or of any predecessor or successor Person, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liabilities being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Notes are subject to defeasance, at the option of the Company, as provided in the Indenture.

All terms used in this Note which are not defined herein, but which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
