STANLEY MAC TOOLS

 

Mac Tools is a worldwide leader in the automotive hand tool industry, and provides professional technicians around the globe with a vast array of top-quality tools to help them get the job done.

 

Founded in 1938 in Sabina, Ohio, as Mechanics Tool and Forge Company, its product line initially featured only a small, durable line of wrenches marketed by a single distributor with a mobile tool truck. They grew through the 1940's and 50's, and in 1961 Mechanics Tool and Forge officially changed its name to Mac Tools. In 1963 Mac merged with the Clinton Tool Company and became the first vestige of what they are today. Mac Tools was acquired by The Stanley Works in 1980, and in 1993 became a part of the newly formed Stanley Mechanics Tools division.

 

Fueled by hard work and an entrepreneurial spirit, Mac Tools has grown to global proportions while never abandoning the ideals that made them successful. Attention to detail, delivering top quality, excellent customer service, and innovative products designed to meet changing customer needs have been, and will continue to be hallmarks of Mac Tools.

 

Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, Mac Tools markets its quality tools and equipment to technicians throughout the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom (Europe) and Japan, utilizing an efficient direct sales force of mobile tool distributors. Each week these distributors drive their tool trucks to their customers providing "on the job service". Not only do distributors offer lifetime warranties on many tools they deliver, but also financing to help their customers manage the cost.

 

Today, Mac's product line features over 10,000 items including complete lines of tool storage units, hand tools, power tools, shop support equipment, electronics, wheel service equipment, paint and body equipment, and specialty tools. Many of these items are manufactured by Stanley Mechanics Tools at one of numerous state-of-the-art facilities throughout the United States. When technicians need tools, they rely on Mac Tools.

 

Mac Tools has a commitment to excellence evidenced not only in its product, but also in its racing sponsorships. The Mac Tools Motorsports program backs some of the best drivers in racing. Terry Labonte, the 1996 Winston Cup champion, headlines an impressive list of NASCAR drivers. Included in the list is the Robert Yates Racing team of Ernie Irvan and Dale Jarrett; Ricky Rudd, Mark Martin, and Jeff Burton just to name a few.

Mac's NHRA drivers read like a who's who of drag racing: John Force, six time Funny Car champion, 1996 Top Fuel champion, Kenny Bernstein, Joe Amato, Larry Dixon, Mike Dunn, and Bob Vandergriff Jr. round out the imposing group.

In addition, Mac also sponsors Steve Kinser, one of the best drivers in the World of Outlaws sprint car series.
