I make a twenty to thirty dollar payment to my Mac guy every week. However I'm not on one of his stops. So no matter what I owe him I put in a envelope every week. So when I need to get something we meet close to my apartment on his way home. He knows that he is going to get a nice chunk of cash from me. I also don't dodge him like he tells me customers do. I'm his one of about three others that pay him in cash. Every one else credit or check. He gives me great deals because I always pay and make way less money than the people that hide from him at times. Ridiculous I'd rather just pay up so I can buy more without a large bill over my head. Like now but I did just get a new Mac macsimiser cart. An if the next flyer has deal on metric wrench set will be getting those from him. Thanks for sharing CP take care. Hi Henry.
I use to have a Mac dealer that would have so much money we would cash our checks with him, We were his last stop of the day. Did you give a discount on cash purchases? The Mac guy also gave his customers a 10% discount on all cash sales. Great videos, keep up the good work!
GOOD EVENING FELLOW TOOLHAULICS: CHAD, thank you for sharing some of your life's precious moments & memories while being a Mac tool dealer. Tonight I received my almost complete set of Capri thin wrenches. As you correctly stated in your previous videos how good they are. Well I'm here to tell ypu that the plating, debured edges, etc is all absolutely 🥰 PERCECT !!!! Thanks you for telling us about them, SHIT, I was doing security light replacing on my property 2 weeks ago & they would have been perfect for that job especially when you are 30 feet in the air & that darn wind keeps blowing. Thank you again sir & my best as always to you & Henry. TMP from N.J.
Another great video. I really like to hear you speak extemporaneously. I will have questions in the future but I want them to have value. Thank you CP.
Truely enjoying this series..really excited to see the view count & 👍 for you..seems to be growing for a video only posted for a couple of hours..Thanks Buddy for making the time for this..Henry 👋
I started as a Mac Tool Dealer in 1982 stayed in the Mac Business for 19 years then went to Cornwell for 3 years. I really liked Mac & at the time we had the very best hardline tools & also the best boxes in the business. I could sell tool boxes like you would not believe. Mac started getting more hardline stuff made in Mexico & that was one reason I went to Cornwell they were about like Mac was when I started out. O I about forgot my sell never droped off & my tool boxes sell were great I pulled a 25 ft trailer with my 18 ft tool truck .I always tried to keep one of ever box Mac & Cornwell sold
Between you and Nick talking about the tool industry. Also Linsey ( Colyer tool ) a guy can learn a lot. So my Thanksgiving day will be full. Between watching you and all the Yellow Stone reruns I don't think anything will get done. Happy Holidays CP.
CP You don't owe us nothing I enjoy a good story keep them coming I haven't forgotten I will try to become a member this week I need to run to town and grab a gift card so I can join and become a #1 member 👍👍
There were a lot of things that customers thought had a warranty that didn’t. Adapters, wobble extensions, chrome sockets that showed heavy impact usage, Impact universals etc. I ate most of those things but only for my customers. I once got stopped by a guy who had, literally a shoe box full of universal impacts! It would have cost me hundreds of dollars! He got mad, cussed me out and called the company! Drill bits I never warranted.
I’m one of those $300 guys that you talk about lol. I like to keep a low payment and once my balance is paid off or close to being paid off then I start over.
I could listen to. you tell stories about your life or comment on current affairs every day. Some people have the gift of communication. CP. It is mostly those that speak from the heart - like you do. Call me a fanboy - i could give a sh@&....It takes true integrity and character to become someone i respect & befriend ergo i have few real FRIENDS. I consider you one my Brother. Another entertaining upload. FAR MORE educational and entertaining than watching the propaganda on. TV. (Then again only intelligent people see TV for what it is and what it has become). Please keep us updated on Henry's struggles.
I usually keep my tab around five or six hundred and just pay a hundred or hundred and fifty a week to both my snapon and mac guy. I always tell new guys to keep their tab low enough to pay it off within two weeks. How long did you wait before you repoed tools from someone for not making payments or did you handle it some other way?
Interesting story keep them coming i remember when 20 dollars a week was hard to pay now my tool payment is 20 dollers a week and I try to pay 100 or more
After watching my Minnesota Vikings get smoked by Dallas I was pretty down. Click on TH-cam app and I see part three Mac dealer and now I feel much better! Should have grabbed that purple and black hat. I want one so bad but I won’t buy one because I don’t have a Mac dealer. Just hand me down Mac tools!
I've been thinking about becoming a dealer and the guy from Mac calls me every couple of months and just recently decided to contact matco and I have talked to cornwell as well. Just looking for your input on all 3. I saw your videos about your experience with Mac. Thanks
I want you to keep up this series. I am interested in parallel careers to just being the mechanic or technician. A tool supplier could be a great asset to the technician that works his entire career only seeing the work that is in his shop. Tools advance just like products advance and change. The tool dealer has the opportunity to be an effective link between new innovation and needs on the shop floor. I never purchased any too, chest or machine on credit. So I never participated in payment schemes or paying interest. As my needs grew the $25 weekly budget for hand tools had to be adjusted. I recall when I began to budget $100 for each new tool. With the small stuff acquired, $100 was too little and the budget had to grow again. I pushed buying the best tool possible with my flow technicians. The best tool isn't always the most costly, but there is a consistent correlation between best and cost. Good or costly tools don't make a technician good, but inferior tools frequently diminish a good technician's effectiveness. There was a time when I valued MAC tools and was as pleased to own and use them as Snap-On. Their performance and quality tanked enough that I lost my confidence in t hi e brand. I still keep some MAC in the main arsenal, but it is no longer my favorite. If your MAC saga remains as interesting as the first installments, I will watch all of them.
Favorite tool TH-camr!!
Thanks 😊

The best tool dealer is listening to your customers and being there every week on time and letting them know if you’re not going to be there:)

It’s interesting to hear what is going on in a tool truck. Been buying off them for close to 20 years now! Good stuff man, keep it up!

Great video love hearing the stories keep up the good work one of my favorite TH-camrs
There needs to be a whole video on the financing of getting started and how hard it is to get out if you have debt
It's basically the same as buying a house really.
Between you and Nick talking about the tool industry. Also Linsey ( Colyer tool ) a guy can learn a lot. So my Thanksgiving day will be full. Between watching you and all the Yellow Stone reruns I don't think anything will get done. Happy Holidays CP.
Interesting story brother. Keep them coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT
Glad to see part 3. I was thinking the producers cut the pilot after part 2 !!!Lol. Woooooo!
CP You don't owe us nothing I enjoy a good story keep them coming I haven't forgotten I will try to become a member this week I need to run to town and grab a gift card so I can join and become a #1 member 👍👍
I like that you were a Mac dealer. We were originally from Milwaukee. MAC was Dad’s favorite.
Had a great Mac dealer years ago before moving. You could tell him what you wanted regardless of brand and he would get it.
I love these videos thank you so much for sharing CP 👍

Can you explain trade-ins?
When did you start making money and feeling good about your decision to become a Mac tool distributor?
First 6bweeks
Randy Harlow out of Sioux Center is a great Mac dealer. Wish I could have bought something from your truck CP.
You and me both! Lol
6 episodes?? Add a couple more and you got yourself a Netflix series. I wonder if Brad Pitt is available to play CP🤔
Lmao
I always pay my dealer atleast $150 or more each time.
I’m one of those $300 guys that you talk about lol. I like to keep a low payment and once my balance is paid off or close to being paid off then I start over.
Thanks for part 3 I’m waiting for part 4 and hopefully many more parts after
Yes I imagine I can get a dozen in maybe.
Are wurth selling tools in Usa
Yes very limited though
Keep them coming CP 👍
Did you have to repo any tools?
👍

We appreciate you! How do I get sales flyer pricing if I don’t have a dealer locally?
Call in to mactools
Thanks CP!
Cp, are you able to get me a set of metric precision torques?? Been trying forever, but never have any in stock. Thanks?
I wish they are out everywhere
Interesting story keep them coming i remember when 20 dollars a week was hard to pay now my tool payment is 20 dollers a week and I try to pay 100 or more
You are always successful because you are passionate, thoughtful and have integrity. Too bad that doofus from FTX has 0.00001% “CP” in him.
Lmao true story
Good stuff
Thanks sir appreciate 🙏
Knowledge is power.

Another good video drop
👍👍
What did it cost you to be with Mac tools?
6 part series explains everything
PART 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. Sounds like you were the jersey nick of lowa. More videos like this.
More to come!
Are you still a mac tool dealer?
Nooooo lol I retired in 2008
I've been thinking about becoming a dealer and the guy from Mac calls me every couple of months and just recently decided to contact matco and I have talked to cornwell as well. Just looking for your input on all 3. I saw your videos about your experience with Mac. Thanks
I can’t imagine being mean or overly difficult with a tool truck guy. They’re a small business owner- do you give the local Ace guy a tough time too?
15%-20% of guys were grumpy negative jerks it was exhausting sometimes you couldn't imagine.
👍
Cp!!! WOOOOOO!!!!
1st comment!!
Fuck yes woooooooo
Well why can´t your political establishment, be people like you ?
I'm not sure what you mean?
