Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents the number of shares of common stock to be delivered upon settlement of restricted stock units, which were 100% vested upon grant. The reporting person has elected to defer settlement of such restricted stock units under the terms of the Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. 2020 Restricted Stock Unit Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "RSU Deferral Plan"). The restricted stock units will be settled in one lump sum on the 90th day following the date on which the reporting person ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors or in three, five or ten annual installments beginning on such settlement date, subject to the reporting person's election.

2. Under the RSU Deferral Plan, each director's account is credited with dividend equivalents on the deferred restricted stock units when the Company pays cash dividends on its common stock (including special dividends, if any), and such dividend equivalents are denominated in additional restricted stock units based on the average of the high and low price per share on the New York Stock Exchange on the payment date applicable to such dividend. The number of shares reflects the credit of such dividend equivalents to the reporting person's account under the RSU Deferral Plan, which will be settled in accordance with the deferral election made by the reporting person applicable to the underlying deferred restricted stock units.

3. Represents deferred shares acquired pursuant to the Stanley Black & Decker Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") as a result of the deferral of quarterly director fees paid in cash to the reporting person. Each deferred share entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock upon settlement. The deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan, including any additional deferred shares acquired through dividend reinvestment, will be settled in either one lump sum payment or ten approximately equal annual installments starting on the first business day of the calendar year immediately following the date on which the reporting person ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.

4. Represents additional deferred shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends paid on deferred shares credited to the reporting person's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Each deferred share entitles the holder thereof to receive one share of common stock upon settlement. Such deferred shares will be settled in accordance with the deferral election made by the reporting person applicable to the underlying deferred shares.
