How do I order? - Step by step

Ordering from matcotools.com is as simple as purchasing from any print catalog. You browse for what you want, select those items you wish to purchase, check your order for errors, and you then buy. Most steps are readily apparent from the instructions given on each screen in the process.

However, in case some of our instructions are unclear, here are the step-by-step instructions you'll need to make an online purchase. You may wish to print this screen to guide you through the purchase process.

From the Home Page, select the Catalog from which you wish to purchase (New & Exclusives, Featured Products, Tool Catalog, or Clothing & Collectibles).

Within the catalog, select the Category from which you wish to purchase. These are listed down the left side of the screen. For instance, within the Tool Catalog there are Toolboxes, Ratchets, Sockets & Sets, Wrenches & Sets, etc.

When you have selected the Category, available products will be displayed on the screen. You can enter a quantity and then click 'Add to Cart'. You place items in the cart that you might like to purchase. You can add or remove items at any time before final purchase.

If you are not registered with matcotools.com, when you click any 'Add to Cart' icon, you will be asked to register. Registration establishes your identity with matcotools.com.

As soon as you have added to your cart all the items you wish to purchase, click the Shopping Cart icon in the top right corner of any matcotools.com page.
