    History of MATCO Tools

    From Wikipedia:
    "Matco Tools, Inc. is a professional tools manufacturer for the automotive and other industries and is based in Stow, Ohio, United States. This includes over 13,000 different tools such as wrenches, screw drivers, gauges, and specialty tools. Matco also produces their own line of high quality toolboxes in the USA at their Jamestown, NY manufacturing plant. They also produce air tools, electric, and diagnostic tools, with quality considered on par with Mac Tools and Snap-On. They also carry a similar lifetime warranty on all hand tools. The company was founded in 1946 and began selling direct to professional mechanics in 1979. Matco Tools is a subsidiary of the Danaher Corporation. Matco stands for Mac Allied Tool Company, however they haven't been associated with Mac since 1979.

    Similar to Snap-On and many Mac Tools dealers, Matco Tools are sold by a local tool distributor who owns a territory by means of a franchise. The franchise owner drives to the work locations of potential customers, and typically offers financing to individuals looking to buy their tools. Matco trucks are easily identified by their white color with large blue and red Matco logo on the side."
