Default Lowes is getting rid of Bessey Clamps

I was at the big blue box this past weekend. I had bought two 50" Bessey parallel clamps "on sale" for $24 each. . . best price I had ever seen for these bad boys! They only had 2 so I gave them a good home. Stopped by a different location only to find out they sold out all their Bessies - the 50" went for $12.47 each - the 24" were under 8 bucks! They will no longer be carrying them and when I asked the sales guy - he said "Some guy came in - saw the prices - and bought every one we had. I guess he had a big project going on." I just shook my head and wished that guy had been me. LOL! Oh well - you may want to check the location close to you. They're discontinuing and going with Irwin only.
