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.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
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 !!!

yes sir I sure am....the main reason I am selling them is cause I bought one for myself!! after I got Bruce's info from YOU:-) (I have the first 7" Staxx Clamp ever made) then when I got it I realized what a great piece they are and the thought that I night have over spent was gone!!.....the Staxx Clamp is the only mount on my whole exhaust system...and it holds EVERY in place solid!!

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 !!
