    The only reason I started buying Matco tools was because of the the blue handle ratchet and all the hype about the fact that Matco listened to its customers. I thought that was 1 of the best things they can do as a company. LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS! The very first Matco tool I ever bought was the 18” 3/8” drive blue handled ratchet. I have since purchased a ton of tools from Matco. Because of that BLUE handled ratchet. Everyone at my shop bought every blue handled ratchet our dealer could get. I sure hope they don’t get rid of the blue handles. Who cares if Cornwell has blue handles? I know I don’t. They have square handles and those aren’t comfortable. Snap-on has red and black. Mac has red and black. Gearwrench has red and black. I think saying a “competitor” has the same color is a poor excuse. Sorry Clay. Rant over.

    What about Snap-On red? Red is really a color that people associate with Snap-On tools, not Matco or even Mac, even though Mac's air tools are red. Matco is going to miss out on a lot of sales if they don't expand the blue tool line. Being disabled I spend a hell of a lot of time in bed watching RUclips because it takes my mind off the pain. A good bit of my working life was spent working on heavy equipment or cars and trucks and just the sound of the air tools and trying to figure out what is wrong with something really makes my mind focus on that and not pain. Back to the blue ratchets, I can't tell you the number of the tool or automotive repair videos I have watched and the guy's on those channels are showing off the new blue ratchet's they got from their Matco dealer.

    I wasn't considering buying a new ratchet until I saw a black and blue ratchet on the truck, and I already have that ratchet in chrome with no comfort. The black and blue is sick, and I made up my mind the other day that this week when the truck comes around I would buy it. I think I would buy more matco tools if they did more blue, it's my favorite color, and I always wondered why they didn't have many blue and red tools considering its in their logo, although I do like the orange and burgundy as well.

    Stop buying Matco colored tools until they have the color you want. If you want blue, don’t settle for any other color. If sales decrease
    They will make blue if they want to sell colored tools. The customer has to stand strong and not settle and buy what they want you to buy.
    It’s your money buy what you want, don’t settle.

    The ONLY reason I've bought 2 Matco ratchets so far, was because of the blue handles. I don't have a local distributor, so I had to order and pay full price up front without having ever seen or used them in person. Between Clay saying they're a good tool, and the blue handles, that's how you got the sale. I don't necessarily need, but do want a few other ratchets now after using the 2 I bought, but I'm waiting and hoping they'll become available with blue handles. As soon as they do, if they do, I'll pull the trigger right away. Until then I'll just have to keep hoping that someone at Matco corporate gets off their high horse and says let's offer everything in blue. I don't need a new set of screw drivers, or hammers, or picks or anything else like that, but if they were in blue, I might need them all of the sudden. Just saying. "Matco Blue" is a great color and it should replace that terrible crimson or whatever it is. Quit screwing around, let's make it happen, and sell a lot of new tools to a lot of new and existing customers.

    Maybe someone should start a list of OEM Matco blue tools.
    Witte makes Blue and black handle maxxpro screwdrivers. Which are Matco Top Torque II. Made in Germany with a lifetime warranty
    Mayhew makes the Dominator (3 sided handle not the square handle) pry bars with blue and black handles. Made in USA (Massachusetts) with a lifetime warranty
    Trusty Cook makes a variety of sizes ball peen and soft face dead blow hammers in blue (albeit darker then matco blue). Made in the USA.
    Customer service/purchasing experience and handling of warranty would be the main differences.
    Things holding back other blue Matco tools is the quantity Matco has to manufacture or order to be profitable. Matco has to look at their market as a whole to maximize sales and revenue for all their distributors. How much distributor interest is there in stocking another color. Different shops and users may prefer a brighter green or orange to find at a glance. Also, they have to consider if blue is a fade, a novelty or is here to stay.
    Michael did say he was going lean on other distributors for blue ratchets for the meet-up. So blue may not be a bigger on some trucks.
    Maybe various blue tools could be released as a limited edition color. Or maybe as a special order. Then Matco could use these sales as a temperature check and market research for different colors.
    If I recall many tool trucks make pink tools, which probably are a small percentage overall sales. Are pick tools special order on the trucks?

    I bought a 18" long 3/8" drive matco locking flex head orange handle chrome ratchet to replace my snapon ratchet and it became my most used and grabbed for ratchet in my toolbox. I loved it so much I bought a second one in the blue and black chrome and I have a 1/4 drive locking flex head in the blue handle and black chrome on order. I love the blue handle matco came out with! Especially with the black chrome! The blue handle with the black chrome looks awesome and definitely stands out! If matco came out with the blue color on more tools, I would definitely buy more matco tools! Clay thanks for getting me hooked on matco's ratchet! Love your channel!

    You’re identifying several valid points. Matco has blue in their logo and as long as they don’t call it “Blue Power” than there’s no infringement. The color isn’t copyrighted. If it’s popular than they should capitalize on the opportunity to generate new customer sales ultimately expanding their brand. Matco is always catching hell for “rebranding” a large majority of their products. So how would a company known for rebranding and/or not manufacturing any of their hardline tools in house, have an integrity issue based on a color? I’d say that the marketing personnel need to relook at what marketing and branding actually consist of. I have an awesome Matco dealer and the products they carry are quality, despite who makes them. Drop the “integrity” argument and just say you’re scared of any legal issues that may come from a full release of blue tools.

      You are 💯 percent correct. If I had a tool that was voted 2nd favorite by my distributors and even made a post and bragged about it then why kill it ? Matco was fast to brag about how good blue ratchets have done then crush it. Makes zero sense

I’d like to support him until I’m in a shop myself with my own tool guy. Shoot, maybe even then, too, lol. Thanks for reading. Have an awesome day!

    Matco, Snap On, or Mac/Stanley should just buy up Cornwell and put them out of their misery. Then the problem is solved. Snap On or Stanley/Mac could effortlessly buy up cornwell in a second being as big of companies as they are.

    No offense to Cornwell but they are not on the same level as the “big 3”. I have never even seen a Cornwell tools truck. So Matcos reasoning sounds like some BS to me. I am not a frequent tool truck buyer, but when there is something I want the MAC and Snap-On guys live a few blocks away while Matco is a town over. The ONLY reason Matco is even on my radar is because of Clay’s videos with Michael and the blue ratchets.

    • @KoonTrucking

    I myself got a blue handle soon as I saw it. Happened to need a new locking flex head, had a blue handle... bam. Sold rite away (along with the review I saw on here of why Matco locking flex heads are better than snap on’s locking mechanism). Anyways I want to get a black chrome/blue 1/4” locking flex head also. And probably even the 1/2” long handle black chrome and blue handle.
    So.. yes. More blue. 🙌🏻 👍🏻

      It’s already a different shade. It’s just a piss poor excuse not to expand the line of tools and it’s a sad one at that. Guys bought blue to have a different color than everyone else in the shop and hoped to expand it across the like and they pump the brakes on it. That’s wrong to everyone that wanted to grow the like and have something different in a shop full of guys for easy identification

    My Matco box is blue, my car is blue, I’d you had blue I would buy it. I like to buy my tool colors to match drive types and screwdriver styles. My flat and Philips are red, my 1/4 ratchets are red, 3/8 green, and 1/2 orange. straight tip pry bars orange curved green. Makes it easier to know what I’m grabbing. Blue would be another option for this.
