You might google Zhejiang Wanda Tools. A source for some of their tools but not sure what percentage.

What years were you a dealer and where at? Just currious.

Someone has removed the screws that hold the slides to the box, probably to make the box lighter so it could be moved easier. It did not come from the factory with no screws. If you can not find the correct screws, you can use a small rivet. If you ever need to change the slides in the future...

This is the knock-off of the Marson and it is a POS!

I just can't believe I'm lurking on a site that is contemplating grand larceny! Say it aint so, Joe! I'm out!

That MT1769 is an awesome impact! They are durable and very strong. The serial number called in to Matco (1800-433-7098) will tell them when it was shipped to the distributor and should give you an idea how old it is. If it shipped to the distributor less than two years ago it should still be...

I know that Danaher makes a lot of their (Sears) hardline, but that is only part of what we sell on the truck - as you know. Sears targets mostly D.I.Y. customers and entry level techs but most in my area will eventually end up purchasing from me. If you were with Matco, for example you know...

Matco Pro-Swing ratcheting wrenches are made in Texas, USA!

Although it is true that the trucks will have Asian tools on board, that is driven by the demand of the customer (even if most customers won't admit it). The constant pressure for lower prices makes it necessary to stock those off-shore products. The USA made tools are also stocked for those...

The Matco MSC12 is available in black as well as all the other colors and is also a welded unit and is expandable and built at our toolbox plant in Jamestown, New York. Check the heavy duty casters on this thing. It is a workhorse. I have personally seen people put several hundred pounds in...
