OK well since I cant get a supplier or scrap yard, to call me back or even answer the phone. I am wondering what the going price of 2x2 heavy wall tubing is going for. I only need about 10 feet but I still need it and cant find it
Square tubing prices
- Thread starter skeets
- Start date
I have a couple mill lengths (21 feet) in the out building that I'll probably never use. Were for a product I no longer make. It's Schedule 80 btw. I can CTL if you want them...
To give you some idea of how much steel has went up. I just bought a dozen Jobber length Triumph Tornado flattened shank 185 degree split point HSS drill bits for MSC. Last time I bought them (a year ago), they were 96 bucks for a dozen. This time they were $180.00 for a dozen.
Tooling and materials prices are putting me out of business pretty quick.
I priced 2 8 foot lengths of Schedule 60 ordinary black iron pipe from my supplier (Alro Steel), 190 bucks and I pick them up, no delivery.
I passed and told my customer I wasn't interested.

geez I was trying to get two 6 foot long sections 1x1" square tubing with the holes in it to make a leaf pick up for the grapple. I went to HD, Lowes and local metal supplier, no one had it. thanks for posting this, McMaster had it in stock. Wish I hadnt wasted an entire afternoon of driving around and having people scratch their heads at me.
Did you call McMillen in Houston? I used Dan Bailey in Marianna... I heard recently he's still in business.
I see your in NJ, If you order before noon you may get it that day. They were my go supplier in a pinch when I was running a facility there. Not the cheapest but can get what you need.
I love using them, but have only purchased fasteners, never dawned on me they would carry metal stock. Their stuff always arrives the very next day, incredible service.

Skeets what are you building? Is the tubing you're looking for the same as used on the heavy wall towing receivers?

Do they still have all the farm auctions in that part of the country?
I was thinking you might be able to pick up one of the dirt scoops that fit on the 3 point. You could cut the bucket out and have a logging arch without a whole lot of work.
