Matco Tools

Many failed and struggling Matco Tools franchised distributors claim they were unfairly terminated or allowed to fail by the mobile tools company. Fundamental failure of its franchise system is taking place, yet MATCO Tools has, nonetheless, continued to offer and sell Distributorships despite the pattern of early failure.
There has been a grassroots informational campaign by a vocal group of current and former Matco franchisees who complain that Matco Tools uses predatory and fraudulent business practices to recruit trusting franchisees, provide them with an inadequate customer base, and force them into make excessive inventory purchases they neither need nor can afford. Franchisees complain that Matco Tools then terminates the struggling franchise owner, then resells the franchise to start the cycle all over again.
Matco falsely advertises Active Jobs on Career sites violating FTC laws.
