I just received an email from Shopsmith promoting their "Super-Versatile Corner Clamps", part number
523056 and after taking a close look at the photos realized that I have seen these before... at Harbor Freight! Now, everyone knows that in addition to Shopsmith manufactured items they also sell some "allied" tools that are made by other manufactures, but when this clamp is being offered at an everyday price of $9.99 at Harbor Freight (and we all carry a 20% discount coupon in our wallet, right?) how can the folks at Shopsmith justify charging $19.95?
But wait, there's a limited time sale on them if you buy four: They'll only set you back $59.85, or $14.96 each. So using my simple math skills it looks like you'll still be overpaying about $20.
But how about shipping? Shipping to my home in NC will set me back $10.99 from Shopsmith while from Harbor Freight it's going to cost me $6.99. But wait again. There's a Harbor Freight on the drive home, so if I just drop by...
ShopSmart, my friends. Scott
The goal of this blog is to help connect buyers and sellers of Shopsmith tools. Some of these links will take you to eBay RSS feeds, which can even be subscribed to if you wish, while other links lead directly to an item on the web. Please let us know how we can improve this tool, and if there are links we should add. You'll find Mark V's, 10Er's, Bandsaws, Jointers, Planers and even the rare Mark VII and Sawsmith! Got a Shopsmith for sale? Send us a note and we'll list it here for free.
