Bessey clamps 70% off at Lowes

[jussi]

Stopped by Lowes at lunch and they had all the bessey clamps heavily discounted. Most were around 70% off. I picked up 2 24" revos for $12 and change each, along with 1 pack of their spring clamps and 1 suction vise. Still had several clamps and vises left.

Ha, I actually came in to post the same thing.
I picked up four of the 24" Revo's for $10.76 each, a couple F style for $5.xx each and four of the neat little spring clamps with the extendable jaw.
I plan to do a bit of driving tomorrow to the other two Lowes in my area to see if there are any more of the parallel clamps left.

Where are you located? Reason I ask is not all Lowes put the same stuff on sale, I did not notice any price reduction in our location, yet, but will keep a close eye. Like I need any more clamps, but I can not help myself. When I've seen this kind of deep cuts at Lowes it means that line of merchandise is no longer going to be stocked. Wonder what cheap clamp they will stock now? Better get them while they are available.

Southern California. That specific store is the torrance branch

And mine are Corpus Christi, TX

Argh! I may have to lift my ban on Lowes for this! It's OK to look, right?

Saw them on sale here near Myrtle Beach also.

I won't tell

Looks like someone beat me to them and has kept me on the straight and narrow. Ban on.

I drove to the other two stores that are 'reasonably' close.
Picked up some pipe clamp sets for $4.xx each at one, all else was gone. At the other I grabbed two 50" Revo's for $28 each and two 40" for $21.
This really should set me up for K-clamps for the foreseeable future...now I'm off to the workshop to make a clamp rack.

I checked my local lowes, all their Bessel clamps are marked down about 40%. I can't justify the purchase at that price. Looks like all the 36and48" are sold but a fair amount of remaining stock is available. Looks like Bessel will be replaced by its cheaper competitor, kinda like Walmart. I see a float load of their merchandise ready to stock. Lord help us, we are being beaten by our own sys.

At my Lowe's location, they were pretty much gone. I got a few things, but the "good stuff" was gone by the time I got there on Saturday.

Several years back, HD was clearance them. That is why I have the Bessey's that I do. I loaded up at that time. Great prices.

My local HD has a special promotion on Bessey clamps.

The closest Lowe's for me is 55 miles away.

I went over to HD to take a look - but was really feeling uninspired.

These Bessey clamps just don't look like the real thing to me.

I also noticed at the local Lowes that their bench vices were reduced. Some good prices to be had on these! The replacement merchandise is IRWIN brand, looks to be Bessey knock offs.
