I am with ya Mark. A CNC machine is not cheap, the time to learn how to use it isn't cheap, the coolant/lubricant is not cheap, the power it takes to run it isn't cheap, the list goes on.

I hate to be negative and I can see how well built they are but I aint buying. I will say I have a cheapo clamp that sheared and my right stack is vibrating and carrying on, but Im so hard headed Im looking for another cheapo to break . I would rather spend that $200 X 2 on diesel fuel that hit $4.75 yesterday .

unless Bruce raised his price on the Staxx clamp.... they aren't $200 a piece. They're were $125 a piece when I bought mine. Expensive... yes, is he over charging.... IMO, no.

As Chris mentioned, the cost of material, tooling, machining, they're hand polished and yes, the man does need to make a profit.

The whole reason he made them is because everything else sucks. After a while most all clamps will wallow out their self-tapped screw holes and become loose. These clamps will never come loose and will never wallow out the holes.

You get what you pay for !!!

there's one one place you can get them.... through Bruce Mann the guy that makes them. You just need to call him to make the order... don't quote me on that price though... like I said, he may have gone up. I bought one of the first sets made

that $125 is a piece $250 for two

Bruce Mann... 805-720-6980

agreed I didn't know he was distributing them though.... they must really have turned out to be a hit. I was hoping he was making some loops I asked for a while back but, I suppose he's had too much going on. Some loops made like his clamps would have been the mac daddy !!
