John Beatty Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Guys- I may not be able to carry RB's much longer, at least at the price I have in the past. Due to increasing costs for Robert, and the very weak dollar to Euro exchange, Robert informed me of the unfortunate new price, which will make my pricing go up a huge chunk (my cost will go up about 50%). He gave me the old price for the really big shipment I should be receiving over the next couple of weeks, sorry for the delays to all that have been waiting, so until I run out, the old prices will be good, but after that, we can only hope for a big turnaround in the economy. On a side note, exploring my options here, my welder & I are looking into getting supplies to produce Fat Bastard Grippers. We'll see. May still carry Baraban, and produce FBBC's, that's what I'd hope, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Bummer about the RB's John On a lighter note, though, I'd buy FBBC grippers instantly, so long as they were still around $20 or less like the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Beatty Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Guys- I should have the RB grippers in the new strengths shortly, I also have one RB 400 extended handle I got yesterday. I'd guess the RB's will arrive in 1-2 weeks. Robert said the 400's are a higher price, so I'll post retails when I can. I plan to have strengths of FBBC grippers in the 150, 200+, 275, 350 range. I'm going off estimations of wire sizes from the grippers I have, IM, RB, HG. I told the suppliers I want high quality springs that will last for thousands of closes, I'm sure there will be trial & error, I plan to offer both knurled & smooth handles. I may do some fancy stuff like Steel, SS & Brass handles, just for fun, I may do some 1" handles, too. Maybe some crazy super hard ones for laughs eventually.
