About the original
The Mac Tools Tote Tray MBT10B is an open-top tool caddy formed from 20-gauge steel and fitted with a tubular-steel carry handle. Mechanics use it to carry frequently needed hand tools between the box and the job — wrenches, sockets, pliers — with everything visible and within reach. Mac Tools was founded in 1938 in Sabina, Ohio as the Mechanics Tool and Forge Company, renamed Mac Tools in 1963, and has sold its line to professional technicians through franchised mobile vans ever since; Stanley Works acquired the company in 1980. The tray ships in Mac Tools' standard red, black, or blue. Supreme's version is the same MBT10B carrying box-logo branding.
About Mac Tools
Mac Tools is an American professional hand tool manufacturer founded in 1938 as the Mechanics Tool and Forge Company in Sabina, Ohio. Seven investors incorporated the firm to produce mechanics' tools; Ralph McPherson served as first president and Otto Tucker as secretary. The company renamed itself Mac Tools in 1963 and was acquired by Stanley Black & Decker, which still owns it. Mac sells ratchets, sockets, wrenches, power tools, and tool storage primarily through a network of independent franchised mobile distributors who drive trucks directly to mechanics and technicians. Supreme's collaboration applied streetwear graphics to a trade-oriented brand rarely seen outside professional garages.
