Record bench vises $29.99 at Big Lots

[Troy Webber]

I was at Big Lots(Bloomington, Illinois) today and picked up 2 Record 7" quick set woodworkers bench vises.I knew they were worth more than $30.When I got them home I checked them out on Amazon and they are about $90 each.

I'm pretty happy.If you need a really nice vise and you have a Big Lots nearby,you should check it out.

Saw the same post on Woodnet. They are going fast, so start making those phone calls.

I tried the Big Lots on Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond and they didn't have any. Oh well...

Thanks for the heads up. I found a store in San Antonio that had 3 of them. Bought 2 just cause it was a good deal.

Woody,
Yea, just came back from the one on Brook Road...No Luck. They often don't have much to brag about there.

I tried the one on Westheimer here in Houton. They had some Pony 4.5" opening, 6.5" wide woodworking vises for $9.99. But no Record vises.
Maybe I'll go by the other one in Katy on Mason Rd, tomorrow.

Be sure to be thorough while looking for these items. The ones I found were not near the Pony vises they had. They were actually on a top shelf on a different aisle in mangled boxes. At least they were in the tools area.

I'm sure the majority of their employees wouldn't have a clue what a record vice is or where they are.

Could someone who bought one post the Big Lots item number, SKU, or Record model number? I am in Columbus, OH where Big Lots' home is and they need the number to see if any stores here carry it. I called a couple stores to no avail and thought this might be quicker/easier.

Thanks so much-
Jim

Thanks guys for such a quick response. What a great forum. Beth at the home office is looking it up for me - she even asked which stores are most convenient for me which I thought was surprisingly nice of her .
