Record Vise Sale

[Steve Roxberg]

I heard about this sale on another board and wanted to pass it on here. I purchased a Record 52ED woodworking vise at "Big Lots" a closeout style store.

You can locate stores at www.biglots.com

They have the vises for $29.99, this current vise is listed on Amazon for $89.95.

That is a great price, I purchased mine in Kansas City and the store in Lenexa still had two on the shelf, look up high though, they were on top.

Steve,

Thanks I ran out to our local Big Lots tonight and bought one of the 2 they had. I guess it's the first thing I purchased there in years. Thanks for the heads up. It looks like they came from Lowes.

Yean, well according to their "closest store" search engine, I've gotta drive to someplace in Utah. Even if KC is a bit closer, it's sort of a long drive :-)

I went to a local Big Lots in Louisville, Ky. this morning, looked on the top shelf in the tool department and there was three vises. We had a $5.00 off coupon in our paper sunday for purchases of 20.00 or more but my wife threw it away. I asked the cashier if she had one and she said no but I have this and handed me a coupon for 20% off. I got it for $25.43 including tax. Thank you Steve.. Tom Stover

I know of the Ocean State Job Lots, and have been in the store in East Hartford (it wasn't called a Big Lots at the time).

You'd think there website would've told me what everyine here did. Now - about my route home today ...

Thx - Rob

I picked up the last one at the closest store this am. Well worth a 30 mile round trip.

[Lincoln Myers]

Thank You Steve!

I tried one store, no luck. Went to another one, no luck. But I figured I'd just take a look at all the random pallets on the floor to see if it was there. Nope. Went back near the 'tool dept.' and on the end of an adjacent isle, BINGO.

This is a great deal. Thanks again for the great heads up!

[Walt Quadrato]

big lots...job lots...two different genus of the same species.Cheap stuff..Cheap..(sort of an oxymoron) We have two Job Lots within 5 miles..they had Jorgensen clamps on sale but not much of a savings (under $2.00) over the Tools-plus price...Big Lots..never found much of anything except for misc. items..none are close by but I'm taking the long way home tonight!

[Don Farr]

They had three in Dallas, Georgia. I bought one and will go back tomorrow for another. Never been in a Big Lots in my life, but I will go back, because I saw 12" out feed roller stands for $4.95 and all sorts of Pony brand vises and clamps. I am a sucker for a good deal.

[Walt Quadrato]

Hey, Don, you got lots better stuff down there! I think CT is barren. I called 5 stores today and struck out at all 5. 'course the people I talked to weren't quite sure what a vice was. I can only hope they've not gotten this far north/east...yet. So it goes...

[Mark Duksta]

I went to two stores here in Austin, TX. No luck. I did pick up two 4' Jorgensen bar clamps for $5.99 each. I'm going to check a third store tomorrow. The bar clamps still had the Lowes sticker on them.
