After almost 60 years in business and with seven locations, KBC Tools & Machinery has accrued millions of dollars in excess inventory that needs to find new homes and purposes.
What's discounted?
KBC's purchasing and management teams are cutting the prices from 25% to 60% off of products. This inventory includes cutting tools, carbide tooling, fluids, work holding, abrasives, precision measuring and inspection, toolroom accessories, hand tools, shop supplies, power and air tools, and machinery.
Some examples of these offers include:
- flat stock
- drills (spade, taper shank, core, oil hole, metric, high speed, taper length)
- end mills (hog, cobalt, threaded shank)
- reamers (chucking, straight and spiral flute, taper shank, expansion, bridge, shell)
- taps (CNC, special thread, pulley)
- drill jig bushings
- boring bars
- gear cutters
- saws (slotting, sidechip, hacksaw)
- dies (high speed, carbon, thread chasers, right and left hand)
- carbide inserts
- collets
- flat stock
- milling cutters
- products from manufacturers, such as Allied, Arco, Cedarberg, Coilhose, Dorian, Garr, Korloy, Mitutoyo, Niagara Cutter, Precision Twist Drill, Starrett, Titex, Toolmex, Vardex, Yuasa, and more, plus quality imports
The company's perspective
KBC believes these discounts will assist metalworkers and tool aficionados to stop putting off purchasing a certain tool due to financial constraints and allow more people to add to their tool collections.
"I've just got to believe that my father would understand that putting North America to work, one discounted tool at a time, is better than all that M.R.O. stock on our shelves to count next year,” says Paula Bass, president, KBC, and daughter of its late founder Karel Bass.
