As you can see, he said all MAC tools are rebadged and he probably believes it too. There's probably more people just like him who believe all MAC tools are rebadged; or people like yourself who believe 80% are rebadged. That can't be doing MAC any good. MAC needs to have a representative respond to some of these rumors before the rumors ruin them.
You got a point there, but lets face it, most GJ users arent serviced by a truck, those that do have a truck route around havent seen a MAC Guy since Regan was in office, there are 12 members who DO have a MAC truck but have a ***** driving it. Only leaves what, 5-6 members here who actually have a MAC Truck driven by a great guy with excellent service? So even with some response to the questions about products, nobody here would buy em anyways.
Sprinkle a little COO Bible thumping into the mix and its a no-win...I love my MAC tools, even if they are re-branded I still buy them full well knowing they are. I'm buying the SERVICE he gives me. Business goes wheres its invited & appreciated.
Who the bleep cares about rebranding anyways? Its done by everybody in all industries all the time. I dont hear no "Crying Foul" about the Blue Point Marston Rivet Gun, or a whole whack of products. Oh no, I got a Bostitch 25' Tape Measure...I coulda saved 99 cents by buying the Stanley FatMax on sale at Walmart, OR I coulda gotten the DeWalt with a coupon at Home Depot for a couple bucks less...Whoopdie Doo.
