Found: A cheap source of Bessey Clamps

**thumbsucker** · 14th December 2013, 08:55 AM

Recently I needed to purchase my first set of Bessey K Body Revo clamps, after some looking around I found a local company near me - Newlands Fasteners & Engineering Supplies (a literal Mum & Pop store) that supplies Bessey Clamps at very good prices. As far as I can tell only a few dollars more then the prices quoted by the group order for the Bessey Clamps.

I was able to purchase the Bessey K Body Revos KR100-2K at $85 each, since they come in a pack of 4 I bought the whole pack for $340. Carbatec has zero stock of these and would not place an order for me until they had others interest in them on top of what they had on back order. Carbatec wanted $120 per Revo so my local guy saved me $35 per clamp. He can also supply the KR150-2K for only $95 saving $47 on the Carbatec price of $142. The KR150-2K come in packs of 2 only.Here are the details for the supplier. Newlands Fasteners & Engineering Supplies was able to get the clamps in two business days.

PS. Do not tell Newlands Fasteners & Engineering Supplies that he is charging to little for these beauties.

Hope this is useful to somebody.

Masters Hardware (many locations) have the 100cm for $82 and the 60cm for $64. They have always had this sort of pricing since they opened (18 months ago?) which is why Carbatec can't sell theirs, and therefore have stock problems.

...+1 for Masters

Masters did the same thing to Carbatec with titebond glue and now the prices are similar.

I knew of Masters but the nearest one is a little hike from me (no car) and its good to support the small guy who is 2 minutes from me. Masters must be selling near or on cost. As for Carbatec the future does not bode well.

Indeed, and that would be my preference (in fact I'd even drive a little further to pay the $2 extra per clamp).

It would be excellent if Masters took on the Veritas range (or part).

...or Masters to take on a local Rockler franchise....

Masters had a special on a few months ago of $10 off any purchase over $50. Apparently, according to an assistant, I could come and go as many times as I wanted.

So a couple of trips from the store to the carpark, to buy the 60cm Bessey clamps paid off.

The Bibra Lake masters in Perth is entirely self serve registers, assumed this was the case for all stores in order to keep costs down. Would be no need to loop through the car park, just do multiple transactions one after another if required. They have some good specials but I find the staff even less knowledgeable than the big green shed, best to do a bit of research beforehand.
