We received the following franchise warning about the MATCO TOOLS franchise opportunity. According to commenter “TOMMY CHEUNG” :
“STAY AWAY FROM MATCO TOOLS. THEY WILL SELL YOU A BILL OF GOODS,WHICH IS NO GOOD.
“RUMOR HAS IT ,MATCO MAKES MORE MONEY SIGNING NEW FRANCHISES THAN THEY DO TAKING CARE OF THEIR CURRENT ONES.
“DARYL PRITCHETT AND MIKE RAMEY WORK TOGETHER TO SIGN YOU UP AND THEN KICK YOU TO THE CURB. I AM WORKING ON A LAWSUIT AGAINST MATCO, HOPING TO TURN IT INTO A CLASS ACTION SUIT. YOU MAY CONTACT JERRY MARKS AT MARKS AND KLEIN LAW FIRM AT [redacted], IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
“I INVESTED ALOT OF MONEY IN MATCO AND AFTER 3.5 YEARS THEY SHUT ME DOWN. WHEN THE ECONOMY SLOWED IN 2008,THEY PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS.
“I ALSO SPOKE TO A PREVIOUS EXECUTIVE, WHO CALLED ME, AND STATED THATS THE WAY MATCO DOES BUSINESS. STAY AWAY FROM MATCO TOOLS AND RUN LIKE HELL WHEN YOU SEE THEM. I REPEAT DO NOT BUY OR INVEST IN MATCO TOOLS…”
Marks & Klein is a legitimate franchise law firm that often represents franchisees in lawsuits against their franchisors, but we haven’t verified with them whether a lawsuit against Matco Tools is in the works or not.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? IS MATCO TOOLS A GOOD FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY, A FAIR FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY OR A FRANCHISE SCAM?

Tonight on, As the wrench turns
Matco #1 (Jason) after watching that Alec Baldwin thing on You-Tube for the 700 th time went out and sold 17 6328 tool boxes today. Because of that Matco asked him to speak at the National business confrence. His reply.... not unless they take the water coolers away that are in the rear of the room. Water is for closers.
Check your local listings
Tim you have a way with words....
Former wi, exposed I have no idea what you are talking about....as far as that goes have no clue what the heck sharkey is talking about either. Alec Baldwin?
Tim....YOU are the only distributor Matco let speak up on stage, it was before some peoples time, on here. But YOU were the one that got up I. Front of 800 distributors and said WE need to move Matco forward YOU fellow distributors need to send leads to YOUR DM and let's get MATCO to the 2000 mark with distributors. No other dbr in the history of expos has spoke on stage ONLY YOU!
Don't come on here and play innocent.
Yeah former I think it's called bud light

Tim I only wish I could sell as much as you, but according to all the people on this site that have failed, you cant do more than 12k in a week, so I guess the numbers you did where not true either.
Didn't sell a box today, sold a bunch of tools, had my torque DVD going with the 4x number one guy on it showing off new tools, Wolfe must brought some of that mojo to my truck.
Thanks tim I wilL watch the video when I get home, I like Alec so I am sure it's a good flick, not as much as......SHAKE and BAKE!!!!
Did not know I was the only one I thought Randy did once. Things have changed since then hope they go back a little with Tim coming back.
Two things, please tell me I was not as in love with myself as you are now back then. I mean I am pretty much an A personality big house, Vette, fast boat etc. But you are kinda over the top patting yourself on the back
And when you go up on stage this year, congradulations by the way. Wear some decent clothes. Back in the day we looked nice lately every one looks like they just came off the beach.
Takes brass balls to sell tools!! Dou you have brass balls? Lol
Jason, do you really think you are going to bait me into a keyboard argument by saying That I never did those numbers and I have failed. Please grow up you say you know me, I have no clue who you are...sorry. Any way I am fine thanks for your concern.
