Snap-on's Tools Group reported a 3% organic sales increase to $508.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, driven by new products including power tools and diagnostics. Operating earnings declined to $115.1 million from $116.7 million a year earlier, while operating margin contracted to 22.6% from 23.8%, as operating expenses rose to 25.4% of sales. Management attributed roughly two-thirds of the segment's growth to a strategic pivot toward products offering quicker customer payback, though tool storage demand remained weak and technicians showed reluctance toward larger purchases.
