Be part of Mac Tools is part of Stanley Black & Decker, a $13 billion global organisation employing over 30,000 people worldwide and owner of world-famous brands Mac Tools, DeWALT, Facom, Expert by Facom and STANLEY.

Mac Tools was founded in 1938 in the USA by seven men who wanted to manufacture the finest tools in the world. Today, Mac Tools has a global product line in excess of 50,000 items, and still uses the direct sales approach with a mobile sales force of franchisees.

The role of the franchisee
Our franchisees are trusted distributors of what we consider to be the best quality tools on the market to customers such as car dealerships, automotive repair shops, manufacturing units and engineering companies.

Mac Tools provides you with a professionally-equipped van stocked with a world-class range of products for you to sell to customers. The Mac Tools line consists of over 18,000 professional tools including screwdrivers, ratchets, wrenches and assorted air tools, as well as its own toolboxes. You will be allocated a territory with a database of all the known automotive relevant outlets within it and you will then be able to sell directly to customers by calling into their workshops on a regular and reliable basis.

“When I joined Mac Tools, I wanted the backing of a larger company without the risk of starting from scratch. There’s more strength in the business when you’re part of a large brand."  Gary Teasdale, Mac Tools Cumbria

Who are we looking for?
Experience is an advantage. But attitude is essential.

Previous sales and business experience will give you a good head start and a basic knowledge of mechanics tools will help you a lot. But if none of that applies to you, don’t rule yourself out. We have a great training programme and we already have a number of very successful franchisees who had no previous technical experience. But what they did have was the right attitude and the will to succeed through their own hard work.

“Mac Tools give you the flexibility to run your own business. You’re not dictated to about how you run the business as long as you stick to the model. It’s your own business but you have the Mac Tools brand on the side of your van.”  Anthony Halsey, Mac Tools Paignton
