Mac Tools traces its roots back to 1938, when it began as the Mechanics Tool and Forge Company in Sabina, Ohio. After rebranding in 1963, the company adopted the name Mac Tools and now operates out of its headquarters in Dublin, Ohio.
Today, the brand offers a comprehensive catalog of more than 8,000 tools, including wrenches, ratchets, air-powered equipment, and screwdrivers—specifically designed to meet the demands of professional auto technicians across the globe.
What sets Mac Tools apart is its unwavering focus on durability and innovation, strengthened by the backing and capabilities of its parent company, Stanley Black & Decker.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Mac Tools provides comprehensive training programs to support franchisees in successfully operating their businesses. The training includes the following components:
Mac Tools does not offer exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. While the franchisee is granted a specific geographic area, Mac Tools retains the right to sell products through other channels, such as national accounts or e-commerce platforms, even within the franchisee’s territory.
This means franchisees may face competition from the franchisor’s own sales avenues. Although Mac Tools provides a defined area of primary responsibility, it is not considered an exclusive or protected territory under franchise law.
Franchisees are encouraged to focus on building strong customer relationships and leveraging the brand’s support systems to compete effectively. The franchisor’s approach emphasizes collaboration rather than exclusivity to drive overall business success.
