Mac Tools Gets a Website Overhaul Monday

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

post-macweb.jpgWe heard a while back that Mac Tools was planning a serious overhaul of their site to add some killer new features, and apparently it’s come to pass.  We checked in today to find the notice you see at right.  It looks like the new site’s going to be live Monday.

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.

We’ll definitely check in on Monday to see what’s up, and you might want to do the same.

MAC Tools Toolbox Configurator

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

If 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.
