    MATCO dealer trying to sell my box

    As a Matco dealer myself, That sounds fair to me. he is spending his time/space selling this box for you. So, if you are going to charge 4000 for the box hes only getting $800 for himself. He'll make more than that selling a new box. As far as the 9%. Matco charges that to us for writing a...

    which is a better buy Snapon- 80 tooth ratchet or matco 88 tooth ratchet

    I prefer the Matco 88.. But I may be a little biased. I think they're both very good ratchets. I will say that I like the Locking Flex and the thinner head on the Matco more and from experience they hold up very well. I don't rebuild many of them

    Matco Franchise = 36% Failure Rate

    I dont think that its out of line at all. If fact I imagine its pretty common across the board. A guy I went to class with back in November quit in January. He was in it a little over a month. When I asked him about it, he said his sales were good, this business just wasn't for him. The number...
