    Tool Franchise help

    Independent is no different than starting a B&M tool store except on wheels. You get vendor accounts with several major tool companies (S&K, GearWrench, Ingersoll Rand, Fluke) and stock a used tool van with these tools. Instead of having franchise restrictions and other corporate BS you are...

    vid of an angry Mac Tools franchisee

    We are lucky we have a excellent Mac guy. Only about 2 months in but he's a retired guy kinda doing it for fun. He's a big tool guy so you can talk "tools" with him and he not rag on other tool brands. He also pimps Proto, Expert and Blackhawk big time. He will tell you its as good as a lot of...

    Went back to the Euro indy world from BMW (typical dealer, hiring more techs than needed). Had to get the trusty Classic 78 out of storage and got the SO guy to give me a stool. I guess he feels bad for me since I'm probably one of his biggest tech customers yet I never win any drawings off the...

    Long term tool storage ?

    I've bought a small SO roll cab and have started filling it with good tools as deals come about. I just keep it stored in a climate control storage unit. We plan on buying our son a pos car of his choice for his 14th birthday and he can spend a couple years getting it ready to drive learning...

    Mac guy came by today since we were closed yesterday. Picked up a fluid pusher for the BMW transfer case fluid flushes, also picked up a Dewalt DCD710S2 12v drill and a bit set. His price was competitive with Amazon on the drill and suppose to be a heavy duty compared to the ones sold at Home...

    Have you "hit the wall" with your Snap-on purchases?

    I draw the line with 1/2 drive stuff and large wrenches. About everything else I will buy SO or Matco and Mac. For 1/2 and large wrenches (over 20mm) I buy GearWrench at Advance. I wrench for a living so its just easy with our truck drivers offering bay service (they take orders and run it in...

    Tool box trade in issue

    If the SO man comes looking and finds the box guess what?! You loose all your tools in it also as their contracts states they get any and all SO branded tools in the box. So first thing is never buy tools from a UTI student as its almost guranteed to have money owed on it. Second either try and...

    Finally got a workshop

    Thanks guys. As far as rules our storage place has only one, don't do anything retarded. So as long as I keep my chemicals sealed, rags stored in a airy place and have a large fire extinguisher handy I won't draw attention to myself. I have a purchased a large Mac toolbox from a coworker that I...

    Finally got a workshop

    After moving all over God's green earth I finally rented myself a workshop. It's in a very relaxed storage place that is still secure and is kept up for the most part (not pretty but no leaks). It's a 10x20 unit with 2 garage doors connected to a 10x10 unit with 1 garage door. I am using the...
