Matco Tools question

**casperss** · 10-09-2008, 07:29 PM

Ok guy's and gals my wife and I have been looking at several different franchises over the last couple of months. We both work in a factory and we want out of there. So with that being said is there anyone on here a Matco franchise owner or do any of you know someone that is that I could ask some questions about it? i have talked with the Matco Rep several times but I would like to know how it realy is in the real world. Thanks in advance for any input on this.

If you are gonna be sell any of the top tool companies, pick between mac and snap-on. matco is junk and the company is ran like shit. You'll make the least amount of money selling matco. Get involved with snap-on

Never used Matco myself, but if I made my living with tools Snap-on would be a first choice. Though I have used a few Proto tools that I like as well, Snap-on is what I used since I was a kid and if I could afford it now and needed good tools often enough it would be hard to change my mind. Best of luck !

I did 5 years hard time at a shit bag dealer and NOBODY would buy matco with the exception of a few guys that said a tool is a tool matco in my opinion sucks I saw the same few guys have problems with broken tools the time it took to fix them and or replace them I buy snapon in fact I still owe $600.00
