About the original
The Mac Tools UC3016 Utility Cart is a rolling shop cart built from 18-gauge steel, rated to 350 pounds and riding on four 4-inch casters — two locking, two standard. Two 3-inch-deep shelves hold tools, parts, and diagnostic gear at working height, turning the cart into a mobile bench a technician can push between bays. Mac Tools was founded in 1938 in Sabina, Ohio as the Mechanics Tool and Forge Company, took its current name in 1963, and distributes to professional mechanics through franchised mobile vans; Stanley Works bought the company in 1980. The UC3016 ships in Mac Tools' standard colorways, including firebrick red. Supreme's edition is the same cart 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.
