• **The AVERAGE American is NOT EVEN MAKING ENOUGH TO COVER HIS HOUSEHOLD BILLS, yet, Matco tells us he does have money for tools***

  It is so wonderful to know that despite NOT having enough money to cover their basic living expenses,
  – they still have money for the tool truck!

  how great for the tool truck?
  yep

• I have no idea what my customers personal expenses are…it’s none of my business, I don’t ask.

  I do know a few things if you go around to your customers and tell them how mad the company you are representing is screwing you over a couple things are going to happen.
  1. The people who like you will support you and stop buying tools because they want to prove a point.
  2. The people who don’t like you aren’t going to buy tools because they know it’s a matter of time before you are gone.
  3. Matco doesn’t have to kick you to the curb, you did it for them!

  One more for the “MATCO#0 is continuously wrong” collection”:

  Hal said “I was devistated”

  Hal said “I had worked hard… I was being punished as my reward.”

  Hal said “I was… very bitter towards Matco”

  Hal said “I liquidated my business… lost a lot of money”

  Yet MATCO#0 says “he never said he failed!”?

  Pants on fire, #0. Pants on fire.

• M- MATCO

  D- DISTRIBUTORS

  A- ALWAYS

  C- CHURNING

• Thank you Hal for your contribution to the thread, as I am sure you are very aware by now you are not alone.

  matco-none………..YOU are the one that needs to read again, try it without the blinders on this time. Hal didn’t fail. MATCO FAILED HIM. Why do you think we are here? Someone is in SERIOUS DENIAL here.

  Like guest had mentioned before, once the Budweiser starts to flow out on the west coast the OBC will flare up again tonight.

• If only Matco 1 had as much time to concentrate on tool sales he might be retired by now……….Makes me laugh.

  We will see him on here soon joining us….that is unless he lives out of his tool truck with no family or bills…..
  What a joke this guy is…..
  Only one word comes to mind…”Loser”

  If this guy wants to sell you a MatcoFranchise down the road…..RUN!!!!!!!

• @ Former WI

  I doubt very seriously that matco-none is steering the tool truck, probably just sitting in the passenger seat playing with his Blackberry as all the other DM’s do on truck rides.

• I met a guy like him in high school after his obnoxious coments people got smart and understand how low people reach while he thinks he is the “Man””

  Enough said I’m done with this waste of air. Lets move on to people that really have issues….Other than Matco 1.

• You guys are funny…. Hey dont drink beer and my DM never rides with me, but I am sitting at 3300 today I just wish my customers could afford more.

  I don’t think Matco failed him, if so why dud he continue for another 3 years, then sell his route to a customer?

  I guess I can add loser to the collection of names, seriously people you can do better than that can’t you?

• 3300 today, 12k weeks, 40 boxes in a year………….blah, blah. You are so full of S***. When you close out tomorrow night copy & paste your weekly. Better yet post your end of year close. Of course you won’t because you would be exposed.

• Yep, you would be embarrassed if I posted my year end.

  Just because you couldn’t do it doesn’t mean others didn’t.

  Problem is you can’t paste pics on here I would live to make you eat your words Gary, I tell you what have your buddy Todd call junior, ask him if my avg is 12 a week.

  But nothing is free, so i will make a bet, you want to see my numbers its going to cost you…Are you man enough to put some money down.

• Gary, I want in on the bet, you front the money, you can see my numbers.

• Ill bet on Matco#1’s side. Ill throw down $1000. Any takers?

• Who said anything about a wager? I was just asking if you could back up that bulldog mouth with that puppy dog ass. You can post pics on Debbie’s FB page…………………………….waiting.

• Look Jason just because you got a cush route and Matco needs OBC’s doesn’t give you Tim like powers. To know all and do all. I promise if your doing that good in less than two years I can start a truck up in your area [Independant] and take half your business in a year. I’ll put a thousand on that.

• Keep your mouth running Jason my wife has been begging to move. I think she would like the South.

• I hope your doing that 4 to 6 week turn Jason. You know the one Matco says is best for your business. I bet three months and you’ll be selling some of your toys you can’t afford to have anymore.

• Gary I can guarantee you’d be eating your words if Matco#1 posted his numbers.

  And Todd, after you moved south and started as an independent running against Matco#1 who would you sue then after you failed???

• Guest17

  No need to sue just like before I would be successful just like I was With MATCO.

  Only difference is No LIARS, FRAUD, FALSE DOCUMENTS or FALSE TERMINATION from your franchisor to contend with.

  All you Presidents,
  With your FLASHY cars and BOAT,
  Better run, run, run
  Run from my Attorney.

• Hey Todd, common down, but you better bring more than a thousand, as the bet would be higher than that. You would have to compete with two other independants, one is an ex-snap-off guy for 18 years.

  But hey at least you could drive around the entire county like he does, you would get your 700 headcount route back.

  Its funny how when people don’t do good, they always say its the route. So when the route is only doing $2,000 a week, with a 550 headcount, someone else takes over the route, but only gets 350, and does almost $13k a week in it, how is it a cush route….I am still confused over that Todd.

  Gary, You have to pay to play, get out Jerrry Platinum Visa you can see all the numbers you want, I would be more than happy to embarrass you…and for the record, just pulled in my driveway after a guy from Monday shop called and wanted to add to his matco account….$1,100, so finished the DAYat $4,815!

• Todd too old for Toys….and don’t live in a $500,000 mansion like Tommy so my budget is pretty good, but i appreciate your concern.

• Gary:

  Who said anything about a wager? I was just asking if you could back up that bulldog mouth with that puppy dog ass. You can post pics on Debbie’s FB page…………………………….waiting.

  Not sure if you been looking at my pics too, I am pretty sensitive when guys start looking at my pics, then making a coment on my ass, so I will tell you the same thing I told Todd…I am happily married, not looking for another relationship, perfectly happy with having a wife, not a boyfriend.

• Matco#1 ,
  getting gas at 4am on the way to Orlando Int in june leaving the best tool expo priceless.

• man just got off my truck,ITS RIGHT OUTSIDE> what did i miss,

• Hey good evening MATCOMAN, My truck is outside my house tonight too, loading up a 4225r with a hutch that I have to bring to a shop tomorrow and show a tech, kind of quiet on here tonight.

• Look new prospects Jason will be #1 Distributor for Matco this year his records prove you can be successful JUST BANK on it and call us in 1 1/2 years when you have been destroyed and one of the 10 on here will help. I promise I will still be around and you will have someone to talk too.

• hey tlman, how is the weather up north…you probably selling a lot of beanies and gloves this time a year.

• Jason is going to be #1 this year….congratulations Jason:)

• Hey guess what I am not even a tool guy and I got a truck too and it is paid for. I also probably have more Matco inventory in it than matcoman has in his. WHOOPTY DOO!!!

• Yeah, Gary must have realized that he can’t afford to see Matco#1’s numbers… Darn I wanted to throw some cash down on that wager..

• Matcoman,

  Just looked my self.

  It sounds like Todd is moving south. Gary is going to make a cool $1000 sence he is convinced that Matco1 is faking it.

• Whats with the gay comments Jason . You coming out of the closet!

• Todd the difference is matcoman can turn his tho..

• No Todd, you are the ones looking at my pics online, I think the receiver is not gay , it’s the giver, or chaser in this case.

• Matco#1,

  Glove and beanie sales are down this year all the snow went to the state to your east, but winter isn’t over. That’s okay 3 A/C units sold in Dec you just never know

• Are you serious, I can’t sell an a/c unit to save my life, even here, too many dealerships, goodyears, firestones, brakes plus, that buy from corperate, not enough independants.

  I think I have sold about 40 beanies in the last week or so, when it gets below 50, feels like Wyoming.

• Todd likes to brag about having inventory, but on several occasions people said they would buy it, he dont want to sell.

• It don’t matter if he is faking it or not I will DUMP my Matco stuff off first at half off just to get guys on the truck and have about $40,000 in tools from the same suppiers as MATCO. I will start with Matcos air tools which 90% are from Ingersollrand. I will completely disassemble a Matco 3/8 and an I/R 3/8 and show them that part by part they are IDENTICAL. Same thing with a 1/2 in and 3/4. Then I will start on air ratchets. By the time I get through discrediting your prices you will be in a Wal-Mart shopping cart selling tools to your customers. Ask BOB DEMERS if I know how to sell tools I outlasted him and his plus truck ROBERT GARZA. I also oulasted CHARLIE PRICE. This is two years after Tim Novak poured fraud on my franchise.

• …and who would care??

• Todd come down, what are you waiting for, I love my competiton to sell below cost.

• Todd, I stock both, I tell my customers IR makes our gun, some people like to have IR some like it to say MATCO. See I am honest with my customers, no secrets, if a tool is great, I tell them, if it sucks, i tell them that too.
  I do go to walmart a lot, when I do my giveaways I go to walmart….Hey here is one that Novak told me once….”if walmart doesn’t have it…you don’t need it.”

• Jason, why would I sell it Now? Matco got their chance on more than one occassion to make it right ! You think that when my Attorney won’t be able to get me money for my tools because you offered to take them off my hands. Jason your as dishonest as Matco’s FALSE ADVERTISING. I tell you what I will give you everything(Matco TOOLS) for $50,000 right now.

• Yeah Tim Novak gave BUD Cook an Integrity buckle in Cancun, too.

• I don’t know who Bud Cook is.

• Matco #1

  The reason Todd A doesnt want to sell his inventory is because he knows that it is “AS GOOD AS GOLD”. Oops I forgot he is partial to Diamonds.

  HI TODD “A”

• How many times have you walked across the Matco stage? have you heard of Ernie Christmas?

• sorry i had to take care of some husband dutys,yea sold my 4225r with hutch that just got, the new copper ,sold wed ans had to load new on truck 3bay hope to have it gone fri.

• Todd,
  MT1769A – IRT2135TIMAX this is not classified info. The only thing that you will ever discredit is yourself which you have already done.

• Hello Cary are you going to intellectually stimulate me tonight with your witty banter.?
