History[edit]
In 1938, the Mechanics Tool and Forge Company began in Sabina, Ohio. The company's goal was to manufacture high quality mechanic's tools. On July 11, 1938, the firm was incorporated in Ohio, and common stock was issued.[1] Mac Tools continued to grow in the 1940s, with a large government contract received in 1942.
The company's name was changed in 1961 to the now familiar Mac Tools from its earlier name, Mechanics Tool and Forge Company. In 1980, Mac Tools was bought by the Stanley Works, and is now part of a group of brands including Stanley Tools, Proto, Facom, and Blackhawk a subsidiary of Proto Tools.[citation needed]
In 1990, Mac Tools set up in the United Kingdom, and in 2009, it changed its presence in the United Kingdom from being a distribution to a franchise system.[2]

Import google contacts. From the export menu, the user cannot choose one vcard per contact. So a perfect outcome is not only desirable but a necessity.Method 1 (Fail): When export is chosen in the Mac Address Book, and vcard is chosen as the file format, a single vcard file is created that contains all of the contacts. I do this for other people who pay me for a good result. The final result has to be perfect or the end user will be upset.
