I once liked mac tools back when I started as a mechanic. 18 years later I find the quality and service has gone way down. I remember the first mac man I dealt with was super. He was alwasy watching out for us, his truck was always stocked and well organized and would really work with you. He got out of the business about 10 years ago and since then, we've had 2 mac men and 1 mac gal and the service has been horrible not to mention the quality of their products have gone way down. I've not seen a mac distributor in over a year and still a bit ticked off since their hq lost my 1/2 drive ratchet I sent in to get the gears replaced. All they did was send me a $25 gift certificate to buy a new one for my loss - yet I paid over $100 for it. I guess WA MAC may be the last true Mac Man out there?

My wife is a graduate of ECU and Duke. I am glad you have found a tool dealer who will provide the service you need. It is all about the service to the customer. Proto are great tools, and yes they are owned by Stanley which owns MAC. My aim is not to keep money on the street however. I would be much happier if all my sales were paid in cash at the time of sale. It would give me a lot more cash to keep building my business. EricT - I lived in Greenville NC for 6 1/2 years.

HF is all I need as it's going to get dirty, scratched and dented. If it last a year that works for me. I consider them almost disposable. I don't need a $1300 bohemouth to do the same job and have to worry about it getting dirty. If you need to move this much tools for a job, might as well get a smaller 7 or 8 drawer roll cab and still save a bundle. Only a mac guy will see the value in this..if he can sell it.

Good luck! </blockquote> Given that the HF model is, quite literally, 1/10th the cost, I really wouldn't care. Not that I think the HF model is an appropriate comparison -- it's not as heavy duty and certainly wouldn't last as long as a better quality model.

"we don't charge interest on truck account". We're not fools, we know the "interest" is already built into the price of the item. This sales pitch may have worked 20 years ago with "billybob the backyard mechanic" but please, don't belittle us like this. Our Mac guy gives us 10% discount for cash sales on purchases wether it's on his truck or the store his brother runs at the local outdoor market. And they've been doing this for years. WA MAC…

Hard to find a mac man that will last more than one year, never mind ten. How about coming out to NC. Our shop has a bunch of techs and plenty of broken Mac tools in need of warranty work. Even my Tech 1000 has a drawer that needs a new slide and can't get any support from the people in Westerville. All they do is give me a number of a District Manager who never returns my calls. Turns out, he left the company months ago - not a good sign when corportate doesn't know who's working for them, never mind what their customers want. Yes, it is a lifetime leash...your focus is to keep "money on the streeets" so before they pay off one item, you need to make sure they have a continous balance with you. After all, it's your weekly paycheck. I'm sure you've got an established business and around more than most which is why you've earned the trust with our customers. Good on ya... I wish you were in our neck of the woods. But you'll have a tough time trying to sell anyone here a $1,300.00 utility cart. Our shop only has Snappy who knows he's the only game in town and frankly we've learned to do without him and his absurd prices just fine. I ended up buying a set of Proto tools and enjoy the service they've been providing. When something breaks, which is rare, I call them up and the very next day, UPS has my replacement delivered to my shop. And no, I didn't even pay for the shipping nor do I have to wait a week to be told it's on backorder. All I do is hold the brokes until either the Proto or Grainger guy arrives to collect them. No questions asked! I also have a small Blackhawk top box (which is identical to another tech's Mac top box but half the price) and when one of the drawer slides started to jam, a guy from Grainger came out the very next day and replaced it! Best of all, their prices are easier on our paychecks. Proto also came out last month and did a lunchtime hand tool safety seminar for us. Even bought us subs and pizza and didn't once bash the competition like Snappy does. He even explained ANSI standards that tools carry to determine their quality and that Proto, Mac and Snap-On all all in the same league. Very informative and our boss was impressed since their safey training meets state OSHA requirements. All this service at no addional cost. As for researching tools, though Grainger they've been very helpful, often we submit the request in the morning and have an answer for us that afternoon. Since Grainger started supplying all our shop equipment and supplies, and because allowed to purchase on the dealerships account with their discount terms, it's been a blessing for us. The Proto rep is even offering to replace all our broken Mac's with Proto since many of them are made in the same plant. You're right, you won't find this kind of service at harbor freight but there are alternatives out there to the tool truck these days. WA MAC, you’re a rare breed.

But my customers are not on a lifetime leash. Anything purchased on my truck is set up to be paid off in 5 - 8 weeks. I have only 10 - 12 bad credit skips out of over 300 active customers. I do not charge intrest on any truck account. If a customer wants to make a large purchase they have to come up with there own credit. The average balance on my accounts is about $200. Tools are what technicians need because this is how they make a living. The service I provide and the research I do for them saves time that they can use to finish more jobs. I work together with my customers to make the job easier and provide a little break in the week to come out to the truck and shot the bull and catch up on tech gossip. I find techs jobs when they want to move on. I find shop owners workers when they need them. As for cost of tools, they have to be seen as a lifetime investment. The average tech spends about $2000 a year on tools. Over a 30 year career that comes to $60,000. That means a weekly payment of about $38.50. Even with $4.00 a gallon gas, that is not much money to insure you can do your job quickly and get it right the first time. For techs, tools are money! As for the MAC dealer who can not afford to buy tools for his truck, this is likely because MAC did not prepare him for the job or insure he had enough capital to make it through the first few years. This is the reason most dealers go out of business. I look at my business as a independant shop that carries many brands including MAC. I own my truck and all my inventory. I do not spread out a tool account with MAC. This allows me to provide my customers with everything they need when they need it. By the way I have sold six of these and have four more on order, two of which are sold. Older techs love them for moving around the shop and new techs love them because they are big and sturdy, come with a lifetime warrenty, and cost half what a mid level tool box cost.

This is the same story we heard from the previous mac guys before they disappeared. It's also overkill for a utility cart and yes, at $1,300.00 you can buy a decent tool box for that price. A utility cart is just that, something you buy to bang around. I bought one three years ago and use it daily...and it holds up quite well. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/2CZY5 I agree with you Bill, we got a new Mac man but already, he’s always got the “its on back order” or something about “they messed up my account and on credit hold” excuse and can’t get what we need.
