MAC Tools Toolbox Configurator
By Chuck CageIf the standard MAC Tools toolboxes aren’t enough for you and you just can’t visualize that custom toolbox you’ve always wanted, MAC Tools has the answer for you — their Toolbox Configurator.
According to MAC Tools:
Using the Made to Order program, a technician can start with any tool box from the Macsimizer Series and modify it by choosing from eight colors, a variety of drawer configurations, and accessories from the Mac Tools Tool Box Accessories line which include nine handles, five corner and key guards, five casters, for drawer pulls, and ten decal graphic packages. The customized mox will be produced and ready to ship in 48 hours.
All in all, MAC Tools says this adds up to 500,000 ways to configure your box.
Apparently the configurator isn’t online, though. To get it you need to call MAC Tools at 1-800-MAC-TOOLS or talk to your distributor.

[…] We suspect that the enhancements will focus on additional user interactivity, along the lines of the toolbox configurator they released earlier this yeay. It’s pretty slick; You can select from all the zillions of storage options Mac offers to build (and see) your own personalized box right on the screen, then you can order it. They have a whole (very impressive) just-in-time manufacturing setup to turn your virtual box into reality. […]

Lucky you…I ordered mine three weeks ago, arrived this past week but not even close to what I ordered. Some of the drawers are not fully spot welded together. Very poor workmanship, not what I would expect from Mac Tools.
To make it worse, my Mac Man went out of business without any notice and there’s no way I can get this resolved. What’s with it with mac tool trucks, they never seem to stay in business for more than a year?!?! In the 15 years I’ve been in business, I’ve had 6 different mac men, and long gaps of no one inbetween.

The tech three bays down from me ordered a custom box last month. He’s still waiting…guess they had to send out to China for parts…

The tech 3 bays down still waiting…and guess what! Our mac guy went out of business and mac has no record of his order even though they took a hefty down payment! Its so unfair, he’s a new guy, does good work and they rolled him for his money
Mac is a rip off - as they always said…Mac = here today, gone tomorrow.

Matco? Had one of them once, always drove around in a half empty truck…rolling catalog sales for Craftsman/Danaher. Didn’t think they actually made anything, just branded other peoples tools with their name and jacked up the price. He finally went out of business, haven’t seen one since. All we see is Snap-On and Cornwell pretty consistant and been around for many many years.
