• Guest17 when they fuel up their car on the way to the dentist, at the dentist they can look on the chair they are sitting on "Pelton and Crane" a Danaher Co.

  you are such an ass a rude ass to be honest.
  some of your quotes are really honest but the rest are not.
  when you honestly believe what others have lived then you will truly understand

• Really "a rude ass" you can do better than that.

• Richard it's like this, when people are rude I am rude back, when people are nice I am nice back. When Tommy talks decent to me, I talk decent back, but when he starts lying and calling people names, guess what I get rude.

• I read some of the 3000 or so posts on here. I am a tool man myself. I have had ups and downs being in the truck. Some of them include things that are my fault and others the company and new or existing policy's. Some people on here say it's all the companies fault and others say it's there own fault why they failed. Do you people really think only one side is at fault? I will give one example. Maybe the company said you will get this that and the other painting a fantastic picture of what you will earn. Then as you go with this idea you get more frustrated with the end result week after week being not so good. After all those hours and hard work nothing has changed. You then begin carrying more weight on your shoulders and your attitude changes. You aren't so happy around your customers, you fight with your trade account trying to stay off hold, your customers are wondering where there tools are you ordered weeks ago, your manager says hang in there things will get better. You get mentally drained and feel like your going to war instead of work. After a long battle you throw in the towel. Now in a scenario like this who's at fault? I say both party's. The company because they let a dealer drown and really just wasted there time, new dealer and customers in the street. The new dealer too. I say that because if you go to work for free too long it's time to pack it in sooner. But the company shouldn't keep all the risk on the individual either.

• STATE THE FACTS AND IGNORE THE MORONS,THE TOOL BUSINESS IS CHANGING AND THE DEFENDERS ARE SCARED .

  Their days are numbered also, they will fail and they will need Jerry. You are employed by matco and you are only a number and they could care less about you.

  DO NOT BUY MATCO TOOLS, THERE TOOLS ARE MADE OVERSEAS AND SO ARE THE CARTS.

  JERRY AND THE GANG WILL PREVAIL IN COURT AND TOOL PRICES ARE GOING UP.

• Ohhh Tommy so untrue, I bet you have posted this same post a hundred times.

  Lets see last 2 posts I have been called an ass twice and now a moron. Tommy wasn't it you that said you shouldn't call names....shame, shame.

  I WAS employed by MATCO, but now I am SELF employed, which means if I don't work, then work doesnt get done. If no work gets done, then I don't get paid. If I don't get paid, the bills don't get paid.

  You are right Tommy I am a number....six to be exact....

  Shouldn't "There" be "Their', but still not correct not all tools and not all carts are made overseas. But some are. In fact Tommy the MSC4 carts are overseas, I wonder how many of those I sold this year, oh yeah, close to 40, along with 16 of the MSC4 full drawer carts. I LOVE THOSE CARTS, I SELL SO MANY!

• How can you have sympathy for these two. Tommy lives in almost a half million dollar house, while debbie chooses to only work 4 days a week.

  Former WI Distributor:

  Brace yourself. Here comes the OBC (Old Boy’s Club). They come out at night, like night weasels.

  They refuse to acknowledge any problem, no matter how obvious, any impropriety, or any need for improvement by Matco.

  You tell your story about being forced out after 8 years? No comment from the OBC.

  A 7 year distributor fails without a single call or finger lifted to help by his DM? No comment from the OBC.

  As Tommy says, ignore ignore ignore.

  Todd makes a minor error of no significance (what does it matter who owns fluke?), and they are all over him like a pack of hyenas.

  Guest that areaa of no significance has sold more than 10,000 dollars last year.....we are only here to correct the mistruths spoken by you, tommy, todd and the gang.

  What it proves is the lack of competence by these people.....
