Holbren bit clearance

[John Hunter]

Sorry to hear that. I always have been very pleased with the bits I have purchased.

Likewise for me, I have been happy with the bits I have that are "Holbren" brand.

Briain, my day job is running my own marketing business, if there is anything I can do to help I would be happy to offer my support - you have given us plenty.

Good luck Brian....you've always been more than fair to me. Just let me know If there's anything I can to do help.

[Holbren]

Thanks Jon, I may take you up on that some day. For now, I'll focus more attention on the local industrial market but still keep my fingers in the consumer markets. I mention the batteries because I'm all about value. If I come across something that I think is a good value (like the Oshlun blades) I take a good look at it.

I'll be around, not going anywhere.

No problem, the offer still stands. I do business and marketing consulting with both small and large companies; local businesses here in PHX as well as many around the US. Sometimes its good to just talk things through with somebody who doesnt have a vested interest - new perspectives etc etc....

If you want to chat just send me a PM or email. No Charge or commitment.

All the best

My wife just called and said, "You just got two really big boxes in the mail." It could only be my new lifetime supply of router bits

Thanks again, Brian!

I believe that we all will still be doing business with you, Brian. Best of luck in your new endeavors!

.. cost of developing a brand name...

Brian, not sure what you spent on your brand name. I feel that you had a great brand name, and the best advertising there is, word of mouth!! It might not have been the fastest method, but IMHO it's the best. I'll still buy from you from shear customer satisfaction!!

And didn't you also get a favorable review on a recent FWW router bit test? In the article you were rated good and were the cheapest. Sounded like a great value proposition. I was hoping this exposure would help you out with establishing the brand.

Though I'm sure there is much more to getting it done than meets the eye. Good luck in the future.

I received my Drawer Lock Bit and Multiform bit yesterday, way-too-fast shipping!

Brian, when I admired both of them for how solid they look and remembered how well my other Holbren bits have served me, I got a bit sad.

I personally have bought enough from you to keep me routing wood for years to come, but once you get out of the market, there's very few options for the newbie looking for good but low-price router bits. Yes, Whiteside is there, but I would not have been able to build my large inventory of bits as easily at their prices.

Anyway, thanks for all your offerings...

I got my bits from Brian today. I don't buy a lot of bits but almost all I have I've got from him, I hope he is able to stay in business, his service is tops.
