Exhibit 23.1 Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |

|
EX-23.1 |
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Finance and Pension Committee of The Board of Directors
The Stanley Works:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Stanley
Account Value Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board of the United States. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as
a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31,
2008, and reportable transactions for the year then ended, is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility
of Plans Management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
1. Description of the Plan
The Stanley Account Value Plan (the Plan), which operates as a leveraged employee stock
ownership plan, is designed to comply with Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and is subject to the applicable provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Plan is a defined contribution
plan for eligible United States salaried and hourly paid employees of The Stanley Works and its
U.S. affiliates (the Company). Each individual employed by the Company as a common law employee
who is subject to the income tax laws of the United States is covered by the Plan, unless the
individual is a leased employee as defined in the Plan, is in a unit of employees listed in Part
I(A) of Appendix A of the Plan, is employed by Stanley Security Solutions, Inc. as a piece worker
or contract worker, or is covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the Company with
respect to which retirement benefits were the subject of good faith negotiation and, as a result of
such negotiation, the collective bargaining agreement does not provide that the individuals covered
by such bargaining agreement are to be covered under the Plan. An individual employed after
November 1, 2004, by an entity that first becomes a wholly-owned (direct or indirect) U.S.
subsidiary of The Stanley Works after that date is not covered under the Plan during any period in
which he or she is employed by the Company, unless Appendix A of the Plan provides for his or her
coverage. An individual who is employed by the Company on a temporary assignment from a foreign
affiliate (i.e. a holder of a United States Permanent Residence Card or an Employment Authorization
Document) is not considered an eligible employee and will not be covered under the Plan during any
period for which he or she is eligible to accrue a benefit under a foreign retirement plan that
covers employees of the foreign affiliate pursuant to the laws of a country other than the United
States. An individual who is paid pursuant to the payroll program that is administered by Stanley
Convergent Security Solutions, Inc. at its office in Westlake, Texas, is not considered an eligible
employee and will not be covered under the Plan.
Each year, subject to certain additional limitations (including a limitation of 7% of compensation
for highly compensated employees), participants may contribute to the Plan through pre-tax payroll
deductions up to 15% of their compensation, as defined in the Plan. Non-highly compensated
employees have the option of making after-tax contributions to the Plan. Pre-tax contributions are
matched in an amount equal to 50% of the participants pre-tax contributions for a year up to a
maximum matching allocation of 3.5% of the participants compensation for the year. A participants
contributions and matching allocations are allocated to a Choice Account. Effective March 1,
2003, under certain circumstances, participants who have attained age 50 are permitted to make
additional, pre-tax contributions (Catch-up Contributions) to the Plan. Catch-up Contributions
may exceed certain limitations imposed under the Code and the Plans percentage limit. Catch-up
Contributions are not eligible for matching allocations.
All participant contributions, rollover contributions and amounts transferred to the Plan in a
direct transfer from another plan that are first credited to a participants Choice Account as of a
date after June 30, 1998 are invested as directed by the participant in one or more of the
investment options made available by the Plan administrator. Amounts received by the Plan on behalf
of a participant in a direct rollover or a direct transfer from a qualified plan of an entity that
has been acquired by the Company may be invested as directed by the Plan administrator until such
time as the participant provides investment instructions with respect to such amounts. Effective
January 1, 2007, 100% of the amount credited to an individuals Choice Account may be invested, at
the direction of the participant, among the investment funds, including the Stanley Stock Fund,
made available by the Plan administrator.
The contribution allocations credited to a participants Choice Account as of a date before July 1,
1998 (other than matching allocations credited after June 30, 1985 and other than a participants
after-tax contributions to the Plan) are guaranteed a cumulative minimum return by the Pension Plan
for Hourly Paid Employees of The Stanley Works for the period or periods during which they are
invested or reinvested, prior to April 1, 1999, in common stock of The Stanley Works or, after
March 31, 1999, in the Stanley Stock Fund. (Prior to April 30, 2001, the guarantee was provided for
certain participants under The Stanley Works Retirement Plan and for other participants under the
Pension Plan for Hourly Paid Employees of The Stanley Works. Effective April 30, 2001, the guarantee is provided through the Pension Plan for
Hourly Paid Employees of The Stanley Works).

Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2008
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
This guarantee provides that the investment return
will not be less than an investment return based on two-year U.S. Treasury notes (but not less than
5% nor greater than 12.5%).
The Plan is intended to comply with Section 404 (c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA) by providing employees with at least three diversified investment options plus sufficient
information to make informed investment decisions. Under Section 404(c), the Company and the other
fiduciaries of the Plan will not be liable for any financial losses that may result from the
investment decisions of a participant or beneficiary.
The following investment funds are offered for Choice Account investments under the Plan:
Stanley Stock Fund Consists of common stock of The Stanley Works, along with a minor portion in
cash for transaction purposes. This stock held in this fund is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol SWK.
State Street Global Advisors (SSgA) S&P 500 Index Fund Seeks to match the performance of the
Standard & Poors 500 (S&P 500) Index. The fund invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index
in proportion to their weighting in the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may also hold 2-5% of its value in
futures contracts. The strategy of investing in the same stocks as the S&P 500 Index minimizes the
need for trading and therefore results in lower expenses.
SSgA Total Market Index Fund Seeks to match the performance of the Wilshire 5000 Index. The fund
invests in the same stocks as the Wilshire 5000 Index which provides broad exposure to all-cap
sectors of the United States marketplace. Thus, it invests in companies of all sizes and offers
broad equity exposure to the United States market.
SSgA Foreign Equity Index Fund Seeks to match closely the performance of the Morgan Stanley
Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE Index) while providing daily
liquidity. The fund invests in all the stocks in the MSCI EAFE Index in proportion to their
weighting in the Index.
SSgA Extended Market Index Fund Seeks to closely match the performance of the Wilshire 4500
Index while providing daily liquidity. This fund provides a broadly diversified index of stocks of
small and medium sized companies. The fund invests in securities included in the Wilshire 5000
Index excluding those in the S&P 500 Index.
SSgA Bond Market Index Fund Seeks to match the returns of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond
Index. The Fund invests primarily in government, corporate, mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio that is representative of the broad
domestic bond market.
Luther King Capital Management (LKCM) Small Cap Equity Fund Seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation. The fund normally invests 80% of its net assets in securities of smaller
companies with market values at the time of investment between $400 million and $2.5 billion.
These equities include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stock,
rights and warrants. Its main strategy is to identify and invest in high quality companies.
Dodge & Cox International Stock Fund Seeks long term growth of principal and income. The fund
invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies from
at least three different foreign countries, including emerging markets. The fund primarily invests
in medium-to-large well established companies based on standards of the applicable market.

Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2008
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
SSgA Passive TIPS Fund This fund seeks to match the returns of the Barclays Capital Inflation
Note Index. The fund invests in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury inflation protection securities,
pursuant to a strategy of owning a market-value weight of each security in the Index.
Barclays Global Investors (BGI) LifePath Funds This fund seeks to diversify among broad types
of asset classes. The Plan currently has ten target retirement funds which adjust over time to
gradually become more conservative as the year approaches when participants plan to retire or
expect to need their money. The funds invest in a mix that gradually shifts from a greater
concentration of higher risk investments (namely stock funds) to a greater concentration of lower
risk investments (bond funds and money market instruments).
Short Term Investment Fund (STIF) (formerly SSgA Stable Value Fund) As of December 31, 2008,
this fund consists of two underlying funds, the Stable Value Fund and the BlackRock Institutional
Management (BlackRock) Temp Fund. The Stable Value Fund, a collective investment trust, seeks to
preserve principal while maintaining a rate of performance comparable to other similar fixed income
investments without market fluctuations. The Stable Value Fund is comprised of investment
contracts issued by insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions, as well as
short-term investment products. The BlackRock Temp Fund, a mutual fund, seeks to preserve
principal while maintaining a rate of return comparable to the similar fixed income investments
without market value fluctuations. The BlackRock Temp Fund invests in a broad range of U.S.
dollar-denominated money market instruments, including government, U.S. and foreign bank, and
commercial obligations and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations. The investments of
the STIF in the Stable Value Fund began being reallocated to the BlackRock Temp Fund over a
twelve-month period that commenced in May 2008. The BlackRock Temp Fund will become the sole
investment under the STIF in mid 2009, subject to any additional changes in the interim.
Cornerstone Allocations
In 1998, the Plan was amended to provide separate allocations for certain eligible participants.
Under this arrangement, eligible participants receive annual allocations to Cornerstone Accounts of
3%, 5% or 9% of compensation depending upon age. A participant is not eligible for these separate
allocations (Cornerstone Account allocations) if he or she is covered under a collective
bargaining agreement; eligible to accrue a benefit under the Pension Plan for Hourly Paid Employees
of The Stanley Works; an employee of Stanley Security Solutions, Inc.; an employee of Stanley
Supply & Services, Inc. (other than an employee who was employed by Jensen Tools, Inc. on December
29, 2001); an employee with Stanley Tools at Watseka or Bradley, Illinois or at West Lafayette,
Indiana; an employee with Stanley Tools whose primary duties are to provide sales and technical
support services to Stanley Tools with respect to its leveling, aligning and plumbing devices
product lines; an employee at the Kannapolis, North Carolina distribution center whose employment
commences on or after December 1, 2004; an employee of Stanley Access Technologies LLC at Dallas,
Texas, Cortland, New York, San Diego, California, or at Denver, Fort Collins or Colorado Springs,
Colorado, or at Albuquerque, New Mexico, Mandeville, Louisiana, Indianapolis, Indiana or
Burnsville, Minnesota; an employee of Sargent & Greenleaf, Inc.; an employee of The Stanley Works
at Kentwood, Michigan; an employee of National Manufacturing Co. or National Manufacturing Sales
Co. whose employment commences on or after January 1, 2007; or an employee of Stanley Convergent
Security Solutions, Inc.
Effective June 1, 2001, additional Cornerstone Account allocations are required for active
participants who were covered under The Stanley Works Retirement Plan on January 31, 1998. The
amount of this additional annual allocation is a percentage of pay based on age and service as set
forth in the Plan. Also, certain additional allocations may be made to Cornerstone Accounts in a
particular year for designated groups of participants. Until June 23, 2008, Cornerstone Account
allocations were invested as directed by the Company or by an investment manager
10
Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2008
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
appointed by the Company. Effective June 23, 2008, a
participant may direct the investment of 100% of the funds credited to his or her Cornerstone
Account among the investment funds made available under the Plan for investment of Cornerstone
Accounts. Effective June 23, 2008, each participants Cornerstone Account balance was
automatically transferred to the age appropriate Target Retirement Fund (i.e. the Target
Retirement Fund for the year that is closest to the year in which the participant reaches age 65).
A participant is able to change the Target Retirement Fund, in which his or her Cornerstone Account
is invested, by directing, at any time, that his or her Cornerstone Account balance be invested
entirely in one of the other Target Retirement Funds made available for investment under the Plan.
Distributions and Vesting
Participants are fully vested as to amounts in their accounts attributable to their own
contributions and earnings thereon and amounts transferred or rolled over from other qualified
plans on their behalf. All participants who are employed on or after January 1, 2002 are vested in
100% of the value of the matching allocations made on their behalf once they have completed 3 years
of service with no vesting in the matching allocations before completion of 3 years of service.
Effective January 1, 2007, all participants who are employed on or after January 1, 2007 are vested
in 100% of the value of the Cornerstone Account allocations made on their behalf once they have
completed 3 years of service.
Benefits generally are distributed upon termination of employment. Normally, a lump-sum
distribution is made in cash or shares of the Companys Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as
Common Stock, Stanley Stock, or shares), at the election of the participant, equal to the value of
the Stanley Stock Fund, Cornerstone Fund, and mutual and collective investment fund investments
held for the participant at the time of the distribution.
Under the terms of the Plan, a participant who is subject to the restrictions of Section 16(b) of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (Section 16 restrictions), may not elect a transfer of
assets from the Stanley Stock Fund to another investment fund or to receive a loan, withdrawal or
distribution which is funded in whole or in part from the Stanley Stock Fund (other than a
distribution upon termination of employment or pursuant to an annual 55/10 diversification
election) if the participant had elected a transfer of assets from another investment fund to the
Stanley Stock Fund during the preceding six months. In addition, a participant who is subject to
the Section 16 restrictions will not be permitted to elect a transfer of assets to the Stanley
Stock Fund from another investment fund if, during the preceding six months, the participant had
elected a transfer of assets from the Stanley Stock Fund to another investment fund or to receive a
loan, withdrawal or distribution which was funded in whole or in part from the Stanley Stock Fund
(other than a distribution upon termination of employment or pursuant to an annual 55/10
diversification election).
Effective January 26, 2003, during the quarterly blackout periods enforced by the Company with
respect to trading in Stanley Stock by insiders, the Plan prohibits a restricted participant, as
defined in the Plan, from transferring any portion of his of her Choice Account balance into or out
of the Stanley Stock Fund, or obtaining a loan, distribution or withdrawal from the Plan to the
extent that the loan, distribution or withdrawal would result in the disposition of all or a
portion of the participants interest in the Stanley Stock Fund.
During active employment, subject to financial hardship rules or attainment of age 591/2,
participants may withdraw a portion of the vested amounts in their Choice Accounts. Under certain
circumstances, a participant who has attained age 55 and completed 10 years as a participant in the
Plan may withdraw a portion of the funds held in the participants Choice Account. Also, a
participant whose Choice Account holds funds that were transferred to the Plan on behalf of the
participant in a direct transfer from another defined contribution plan sponsored by a business
that was acquired by the Company (Acquired Plan) may, under circumstances set forth in the
Plan, withdraw a portion of such transferred funds held in the
participants Choice Account. Effective November 3, 2008, a participant may, for any reason,
withdraw all or a portion of the amount in the participants Choice Account that is attributable to
any after-tax contributions he or she has made to the Plan.
11
Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2008
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Loan Fund
Participants may borrow from their Choice Accounts up to an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of
$50,000 or 50% of the value of their vested interest in such accounts with a minimum loan of
$1,000. The $50,000 loan amount limitation is reduced by the participants highest outstanding loan
balance during the 12 months preceding the date the loan is made. Each loan is evidenced by a
negotiable promissory note bearing a rate of interest equal to the prime rate as reported in The
Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month in which the loan request is processed
which is payable, through payroll deductions, over a term of not more than five years. Participants
are allowed ten years to repay the loan if the proceeds are used to purchase a principal residence.
A participant may not have more than one loan outstanding at any time, except to the extent that,
after the participant has taken a loan from the Plan, one or more loans that are not in default are
transferred to the Plan on behalf of the participant in a direct transfer from an Acquired Plan.
However, if a loan that was in default under an Acquired Plan is transferred to the Plan and no
other loans are transferred to the Plan from the Acquired Plan, the participant on whose behalf the
defaulted loan is transferred to the Plan may have one loan outstanding from the Plan in addition
to the transferred defaulted loan. The amount of a participants transferred defaulted loan that
has not been repaid or offset upon a distributable event with respect to such a participant,
including the interest that accrues thereon, is treated as an outstanding loan for purposes of
determining the maximum amount of any new loan that may be made to the participant from the Plan.
If a loan is outstanding at the time a distribution becomes payable to a participant (or
beneficiary), the distribution is made net of the loan outstanding, and the distribution shall
fully discharge the Plan with respect to the participants account value attributable to the
outstanding loan balance.
Unallocated Stanley Stock Fund
The Plan borrowed $95,000,000 in 1989 from a group of financial institutions and $180,000,000 in
1991 from the Company (see Notes 4 and 5) to acquire 5,868,088 and 9,696,968 shares, respectively,
of Common Stock from the Companys treasury and previously unissued shares. The shares purchased
from the proceeds of the loans were placed in the Unallocated Stanley Stock Fund (the Unallocated
Fund). Under the 1989 loan agreement, the Company guaranteed the loan to ensure that there would
be annual contributions sufficient to enable the Plan to repay the loan plus interest. Both of the
loan agreements were refinanced effective June 30, 1998.
Monthly transfers of shares of Stanley Stock are made from the Unallocated Fund for allocation to
participants based on the current period debt principal and interest payments made under each loan
as a percentage of total future debt principal and interest payments. Dividends received on
allocated and unallocated shares of Stanley Stock and participant and Company contributions are
used to make payments under the loans. If dividends on the allocated shares are applied to the
payment of debt service, a number of shares of Stanley Stock having a fair market value at least
equal to the amount of the dividends so applied are allocated to the Choice Accounts of
participants who would otherwise have received cash dividends.
The fair market value of shares of Stanley Stock released from the Unallocated Fund pursuant to the
Plans loan repayments made during any year, along with contributions made during that year that
are not used to repay the loan may exceed the total of participant contributions, matching and
Cornerstone allocations (other than allocations attributable to forfeitures), and cash dividends on
allocated shares of Stanley Stock applied to the payment of a loan for the year. If that occurs,
such excess value is allocated in shares of Stanley Stock, based on relative compensation, among
the participants who are employed by the Company
on the last day of the Plan year and who are not described in the third sentence under the heading
Cornerstone Fund in this Note 1. There were no such excess value allocations to participants in
2008 or 2007.

Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2008
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
The trust agreement governing the Plan provides that the trustee will vote the shares of Stanley
Stock in the Stanley Stock Fund attributable to a participants Choice Account in the Plan in
accordance with such participants directions. The trust agreement governing the Plan provides
that, if the trustee does not receive voting instructions with respect to shares of Stanley Stock
in the Stanley Stock Fund attributable to a participants Choice Account in the Plan, the trustee
will vote such shares in the same proportion as it votes the allocated shares for which
instructions are received from Plan participants. The trust agreement also provides that shares in
the Unallocated Fund are to be voted by the trustee in the same proportion as it votes the shares
of Stanley Stock in the Stanley Stock Fund attributable to Choice Accounts for which instructions
are received from Plan participants. Therefore, by providing voting instructions with respect to
shares of Stanley Stock in the Stanley Stock Fund attributable to a participants Choice Account in
the Plan, a Plan participant will in effect be providing instructions with respect to a portion of
the shares in the Unallocated Fund and a portion of the shares of Stanley Stock in the Stanley
Stock Fund attributable to Choice Accounts in the Plan for which instructions were not provided as
well. The foregoing provisions are subject to applicable law which requires the trustee to act as a
fiduciary for Plan participants. Therefore, it is possible that the trustee may vote shares of
Stanley Stock in the Stanley Stock Fund attributable to Choice Accounts in the Plan for which it
does not receive instructions (as well as shares held in the Unallocated Fund) in a manner other
than the proportionate method described above if it believes that proportionate voting would
violate applicable law.
The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Upon the termination of
the Plan, the interest of each participant in the trust fund will become vested and be distributed
to such participant or his or her beneficiary at the time prescribed by the Plan terms and the
Code.
The Plan maintains separate accounts for participants. Such accounts are credited with a
participants contributions, matching allocations, Cornerstone Account allocations, related gains,
losses, dividend income, and the participants loan payments.
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, benefits payable to terminated vested participants who had requested
their payments were $111,405 and $77,254, respectively.
Forfeited Accounts
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, amounts forfeited for non-vested accounts
totaled $506,922 and $1,521,182, respectively. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the balance in the
forfeited non-vested account totaled $91,318 and $92,565, respectively. Such forfeitures are
applied under the terms of the Plan to fund matching allocations and Cornerstone Account
allocations.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared using the modified cash basis
of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Benefit payments
to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Investments
As required by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position AAG INV-1 (the FSP),
investments in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits include fully
benefit-responsive investment contracts and are recognized at fair value. AICPA Statement of
Position 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Health and
Welfare Benefit Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans, as amended, requires fully
benefit-responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value in the Plans Statements of
Net Assets Available for Benefits with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at
contract value.
The carrying amounts of all investments are reported at fair value except for the collective trust,
which is reported at fair value and then adjusted to contract value as reflected on the Statements
of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Contract value represents the principal balance plus accrued
interest. The Plan investments consist predominantly of shares of Stanley Stock, commingled funds,
mutual funds, and short term investments. Stanley Stock and the mutual funds are traded on a
national exchange and valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan
year. The Stanley Stock Fund and other commingled funds are stated at fair market value on the last
business day of the Plan year using independent pricing services. Short-term investments consist of
short-term bank-administered trust funds which earn interest daily at rates approximating U.S.
Government securities; cost approximates market value.
The Plan invests in the Stable Value Fund, a fully benefit-responsive investment contract (as
defined by the FSP) including primarily guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts issued by
banks, insurance companies and other issuers. The Stable Value Fund is recorded at fair value. As
required by the aforementioned FSP, an adjustment is made to reflect this investment at contract
value, which represents cost plus accrued income less redemptions. The fair value of the
guaranteed investment contracts is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology where the
individual contract cash flows are discounted at the prevailing
interpolated interest rate swap rate as of
year-end. The fair value of the wrap contracts, a contract that provides market and cash flow
protection to a specified portfolio of assets in the Stable Value Fund, reflects the discounted
present value of the difference between the current wrap contract cost and its replacement cost,
based on issuer quotes. For assets other than investment contracts, including securities
underlying synthetic investment contracts, fair value generally is reflected by an independent
pricing service that uses methods based on market transactions for comparable securities. Under
these guaranteed and synthetic investment contracts, the Stable Value Fund is guaranteed repayment
in full of the principal amount plus interest credited at a fixed rate over a specified period. The
crediting rate can never be less than zero. The crediting rate is primarily based on the current
yield-to-maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference between
the market value and contract value of the covered investment over the duration of the covered
investments at the time of computation. There are no reserves against contract value for credit
risk.
Investment contracts of the Stable Value Fund are valued at contract value principally because
participants are able to transact at contract value when initiating benefit responsive withdrawals,
taking loans, or making investment option transfers as permitted by the Plan. Certain events could
limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events could
include plant closings, significant layoffs, plan termination, bankruptcy or reorganization,
merger, early retirement incentive programs, tax disqualification of the trust, or other events.
The occurrence of one or more employer-initiated events could limit the ability of the Stable Value
Fund to transact at contract value. The Company does not believe that
the occurrence of any such event, which would limit the Plans ability to transact at contract value with
participants, is probable.

The Bank of New York Mellon, (the Trustee) pursuant to the terms of a written Trust Agreement
between the Trustee and the Company. Prior to July 1, 2008, the assets of the Plan were held in
trust by the independent trustee, Citibank, N.A.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that can affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Dividend Income
Dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.
Gains or Losses on Sales of Investments
Gains or losses realized on the sales of investments are determined based on average cost.
Expenses
Administrative expenses not paid by the Plan are paid by the Company.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a single
definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy
to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, and requires new
disclosures of assets and liabilities measures at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy.
The Plan adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008.
3. Fair Value Measurements
SFAS 157 requires the Plan to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from
independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Plans market assumptions. These two
types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
Level 2
|
|
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived
valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable. |
|
Level 3
|
|
Assets or liabilities that are valued using unobservable inputs. |
The following table summarizes the fair values and levels within the fair value hierarchy in which
the fair value measurements fall for assets measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008:

|
|
$ |
143,076,607 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The scheduled maturities of debt for the next five years are as follows: 2009 $7,370,759; 2010
$7,899,996; 2011 $7,700,004; 2012 $7,500,000 and 2013 $7,400,004.
The number of shares held in the Unallocated Fund is reduced as shares are released to the Stanley
Stock Fund pursuant to principal and interest payments. During 2008 and 2007, 367,784 and 386,317
shares, respectively, were released and at December 31, 2008 and 2007, 4,704,184 and 5,071,968
shares, respectively, are unallocated. Payment of the Plans debt has been guaranteed by the
Company. Should the principal and interest due exceed the dividends paid on shares in the Stanley
Stock and Unallocated Funds, and employee and Company matching contributions, the Company is
responsible for funding such a shortfall. There were no such debt service funding shortfalls in
2008 or 2007.
5. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
Fees paid during 2008 and 2007 for management and other services rendered by parties-in-interest
were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services. The majority of such fees were paid
by the Plan. Fees paid by the Plan during 2008 and 2007 were $792,996 and $1,505,925, respectively.
In 1991, the Plan borrowed $180,000,000 from the Company, the proceeds of which were used to
purchase 9,696,968 shares of Company stock for the Plan. In 1998, the Plan borrowed $2,831,378 from
the Company, the proceeds of which were used to pay a prepayment penalty incurred in connection
with debt refinancing. The Plan made $12,154,257 and $16,413,575 of principal and interest payments
related to its debt in 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $135,125,840 and
$138,925,844, respectively, was outstanding on such debt.
6. Income Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan and the trust qualify under Sections 401(a)
and 401(k) of the Code and are therefore not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in accordance with the Code to maintain its
qualification. The Company is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have
occurred that might adversely affect the Plans qualified status. An updated determination letter
regarding the Plan was issued by the IRS on December 6, 2004, at which time the IRS stated that the
Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan
administrator, which consults regularly with outside legal counsel regarding Plan matters, believes
that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plans
financial statements.
7. Excess Contributions Payable
The Plan made required distributions of excess contributions of $101,967 including any income
attributable thereto, to highly compensated employees on July 11, 2008.

Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2008
8. Assets Transferred from Certain Acquired Plans
Reflected in employee contributions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits for the year ending December 31, 2008 are $64,813,280 of assets that were
transferred to the Plan from certain acquired plans.
A transfer was made to the Plan in 2008 on behalf of former participants in the Chicago Steel Tape
Company Employees Profit Sharing Plan (CST plan) pursuant to the termination and liquidation of
that plan. The transferred CST plan assets were allocated to the Choice Accounts of the pertinent
individuals, and invested under the Plan either in core funds (investment options, other than
Target Retirement Funds, offered under the Plan) that corresponded to the individuals CST plan
funds as of a specified date, or in a Target Retirement Fund, depending upon whether, as of the
pertinent date, the individuals investment election for his or her Choice Account was core funds
or one Target Retirement Fund. If an individual did not have a Choice Account in the Plan, his or
her transferred CST plan assets were invested under the Plan in the age appropriate Target
Retirement Fund based on the year of the individuals birth.
In addition, transfers were made to the Plan on behalf of former participants in the National
Manufacturing Co. 401(k) Plan (National plan) and the HSM Electronic Protection Services, Inc.
Retirement Plan (HSM plan) pursuant to the mergers of those plans into the Plan in 2008. The
transferred National plan and HSM plan assets were allocated to the Choice Accounts of the
participants, and were invested under the Plan either in core funds that corresponded to an
individuals National plan or HSM plan investment funds as of a specified date, or in a Target
Retirement Fund, depending upon whether, as of the pertinent date, the individuals investment
election for his or her Choice Account was core funds or one Target Retirement Fund. If an
individual did not have a Choice Account in the Plan, his or her transferred National plan or HSM
plan assets were invested in core funds in the Plan that corresponded to the investment funds in
which his or her National plan or HSM plan funds were invested on the pertinent date.
9. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities which are exposed to certain risks including
interest rate, market, currency and credit risks. Accordingly, material changes in the value of the
investment securities could occur affecting the future value of participant accounts (inclusive of
participant holdings of the Companys common stock) as well as the unallocated fund balance as
presented in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Risks and uncertainties
specifically related to the Companys common stock include those set forth in the Companys Annual
Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
10. Subsequent Events
Effective January 1, 2009, all matching allocations under the Plan are discontinued. If the
Company chooses to make matching contributions in future years, the Plan will be amended to do so.
Additionally, effective January 1, 2009, all Cornerstone Account allocations under the Plan are
discontinued. If the Company chooses to make Cornerstone Account allocations under the Plan in the
future, the Plan will be amended to do so. The regular and additional Cornerstone Account
allocations for 2008, that are allocated to a participants Cornerstone Account in 2009, will
automatically be invested in the same Target Retirement Fund in which the participants Cornerstone
Account is then invested. If a participant does not already have a Cornerstone Account, the
Cornerstone Account allocations for 2008 will automatically be invested in the participants age
appropriate Target Retirement Fund.
Under the following circumstances, certain allocations may be made under the Plan for a Plan year
beginning on or after January 1, 2009:
18
Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2008
10. Subsequent Events (continued)
Subject to the limits on the total amount that may be allocated to a participants account under
the Plan for any Plan year, additional allocations will be made for a Plan year beginning on or
after January 1, 2009, of any amount attributable to the non-vested portions of the accounts of
terminated participants that are forfeited during the Plan year and are not applied to satisfy any
allocations that are otherwise required to be made according to the provisions of the Plan. These
forfeitures will be allocated as of the last day of such Plan year to the Choice Account of each
participant who made pre-tax contributions during the Plan year and is employed on such last day of
the Plan year, in the proportion that each such participants pre-tax contributions for the Plan
year bears to the aggregate pre-tax contributions of all such participants for the Plan year.
There will be additional allocations under the Plan for a Plan year beginning on or after January
1, 2009, if the value of Stanley Stock released from the Unallocated Fund with respect to the Plan
year and the contributions made to the Plan for the Plan year that are not used to make payments
under a loan used to acquire shares of Stanley Stock (exempt loan) exceed the total of: (i) the
contributions made by participants for the Plan year; (ii) if any matching allocations or
Cornerstone Account allocations (other than matching allocations or Cornerstone Account allocations
attributable to forfeitures) are required for the Plan year, the amount of such allocations; and
(iii) any dividends paid during the Plan year on shares of Stanley Stock in the Stanley Stock Fund
attributable to participants interests in the Stanley Stock Fund. These additional allocations for
a Plan year beginning on or after January 1, 2009, will be allocated to the Choice Account of each
participant who made pre-tax contributions during the Plan year and is employed on the last day of
the Plan year. Such additional allocations will be allocated to these eligible participants in the
proportion that each such eligible participants pre-tax contributions for the Plan year bears to
the aggregate pre-tax contributions of all such eligible participants for the Plan year. However,
in the event of a change in control of The Stanley Works, any such additional allocations for the
Plan year of the change in control will be allocated to participants, without regard to whether
they made pre-tax contributions during such Plan year or are employed on the last day of such Plan
year. The additional allocations that are made in the event of a change in control will be
allocated to the Choice Accounts of eligible participants in the proportion that each such
participants compensation for the Plan year bears to the aggregate compensation of all such
participants for the Plan year.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company will make a contribution to the Plan of the amount, if any,
by which the sum of the value of Stanley Stock released from the Unallocated Fund with respect to
the Plan year and the contributions made to the Plan for the Plan year that are not used to make
payments under an exempt loan is less than the total of: (i) the participants contributions for
the Plan year; (ii) if any matching allocations or Cornerstone Account allocations (other than
matching allocations or Cornerstone Account allocations attributable to forfeitures) are required
for the Plan year, the amount of such allocations; and (iii) any dividends paid on shares of
Stanley Stock in the Stanley Stock Fund attributable to participants interests in the Stanley
Stock Fund that are used to make payments under an exempt loan for that Plan year. Moreover,
effective January 1, 2009, the Company will make a contribution to the Plan of the amount, if any,
by which the funds required to make payments under an exempt loan for a Plan year exceeds the total
of: (i) the participants contributions; (ii) dividends paid on shares of Stanley Stock in the
Stanley Stock Fund attributable to participants interests in the Stanley Stock Fund that are
applied to make payments under an exempt loan for that Plan year; (iii) dividends paid on shares of
Stanley Stock in the Unallocated Fund that are applied to make payments under an exempt loan for
that Plan year; and (iv) any Company contributions to the Plan. A contribution will be applied in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.
