Complete PanaVice workcenter at RadioShack (US) under $15!

[SLJ]

UPDATE - Now under $15!!!!
Just a heads up, the complete PanaVice work center is on sale at Radio Shack for $19.95 right now.  If you are looking for a good circuit board holder cheap nows your chance. On line is sold out but you can still grab them at some of the stores.  I just found out and picked up one today.

FWIW, the 324 Electronic Work Center is Out-Of-Stock online. 

Potential buyers would have to check their local store/s to see if they have any (enter ZIP code & enter a distance in the "Find it Nearby" link on the product page).

They did this previously with the 301 (same sale price), so perhaps they're in the process of clearing them out entirely.  Might mean the 350 will also go on sale for this price if this is the case (have 301 & circuit board head already, but would like that 376 head if I can get it for $20  ).

In stock locally here. How worth it is to get one of these? For general hobby use, some rework, all that boring stuff

[Joule Thief]

The $20 is worth the price for the articulated base and the tray mount - even if you eventually end up finding the PC vise less than optimal for your work. Just detach the vise and attach a new style to complement the work at hand.

They are sturdy. I have had mine for what seems like 30+ years.

Absolutely, especially at that price. Tray plate alone goes for $24, so you're getting everything else in the kit for free.

This is way too cheap, I have these, bought it pieces, but I use the tray on an Jr wise, and the 300 vise I mounted on an heavier base, but the tray actually are good enough on its own.
the pcb holder is very good, but buy a couple of other heads for other uses.
I like the 300 series better than the jr, since you get an extra joint that gives more flexibility.
That solderiron holder I dont have, and dont need, but the tray have room for small items, very handy.

My local store was out but they found one in another store in the district.  I should have it Tuesday.  I agree with the overall sentiment.  The price can't be beat and I have wanted a Panavise for a long time.

Does not matter what store it's in.  They will send it to your local store for pickup.  Just search on-line and then ask your local store to have the other store ship it to them.

[GreyWoolfe]

As a side note, according to the person I spoke with on the phone, they can only transfer in units within the same district.  They can't check stores out of the district.

Yep! I was one day late too. I need one of these for some production runs Im doing and now dont want to shell out 60-80$! ll 

[creexpert]

how much are these guys worth to you guys? I can get 2 or 3.. but they are 60 miles away

[iampoor]

Can you get them shipped to a closer store?

I dont want to be a bother

[GreyWoolfe]

Remember, if the stores are in the same district, they will overnight them at no additional cost.  I went late Friday, was told it wouldn't ship until Monday and it will probably be in store on Tuesday (today).  I called the store, it is in and I will be going to pick up my shiny new toy!  I love shiny new toys!

[nanofrog]

FWIW, I can get at least 3x (one location), not sure on another the website shows stock (phone number listed was the fax machine). Not close, but I can have anything from either of these shipped to a store very close to me (would save me 120 miles of driving to fetch them  ).

Just picked mine up and put it together.  Sex on a stick

If you do, let me know if you have any xtras and how much you want for one! 

[SLJ]

I wound up with four.  Three are going out as gifts and keeping one for myself.   I already have the wide opening head and the regular vice with the vacuum base so this one will complete my Panavice set up.

[TheBorg]

Anyone think this deal will last another week? Wasn't able to drive the 40 miles to get one locally, and am not able to make it out due to the holidays for a while... Hmm. Just realizing how much I could use one of these!

[xrunner]

It might. They like to keep customers buying during the holidaze. I know I'm going to check again.

Haven't purchased any yet. Just trying to find out if anyone is interested, and if so, how many to get, ...
