More from the Matco Show











The Matco Tool Fair was held at Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, FL this year. The sun was shining hot outside and the tools were hot on the inside of the show as well.


With more than 920 distributors, 90,000 sq. ft. of expo space, 110 suppliers and 170 new products with more than 65 New & Exclusives — Matco rocked Orlando. While the Expo floor was filled with celebrities — including Top Fuel Dragsters Cory McClenathan, Tony Schumacher, “Hot” Rod Fuller and Antron Brown — the real stars of the show were the Matco distributors who came from across the country to see what the suppliers and Matco had new to offer. Matco also rewarded the Top 200 distributors with a sneak preview hour on the Tool Expo floor.
Courtney Hansen, host of Spike TV’s “Powerblock” and new spokesperson for Matco, interviewed suppliers throughout the show, including Bill Fletcher from Mayhew Tools and Jon Bielfeldt of Lisle Tools. A compilation of those interviews will be produced into a DVD that will be played on Matco distributors’ trucks.
