SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Grizzly Industrial's annual tent sale returns to Springfield, Missouri, on Friday and Saturday, June 6–7. The event promises product demonstrations, prizes and giveaways, and deep discounts on woodworking and metalworking tools and machines. The grand finale of the weekend is the legendary Tent Sale, where customers can save 30%–60% on “scratch and dent” machines for their shop. 

This year's event offers a unique opportunity for woodworking and metalworking enthusiasts to see products in action, network and learn from other makers, and purchase equipment at drastically reduced prices. The sale features as-is and scratch-and-dent items, providing substantial value for those who accept minor imperfections.

“We ship hundreds of wood and metalworking machines every business day. Inevitably, some get damaged in the process," SAYS Jack Blackburn, general manager, of Grizzly Industrial. "These often have minor blemishes or small imperfections. We can’t sell them as new, so this is an amazing opportunity to outfit your shop with quality tools at a bargain price.”

Grizzly will host a Customer Appreciation Day on Friday, June 6, featuring expert demonstrations and exclusive in-store-only sales at their 38,000 sq. ft. showroom. Attendees can expect door prizes, giveaways, and in-depth product insights. The Woodworking Network’s Matt Buell will offer a product demonstration and shop build presentation, and attendees can connect with Phil Hueber, host of Woodsmith Shop TV on PBS, and Logan Wittmer, editor-in-chief of Popular Woodworking Magazine along with over a dozen artisan demonstrators.  

The finale of the event is the expansive tent sale on Saturday, June 7, showcasing hundreds of discounted tools and machines. The event aims to provide both seasoned professionals and hobbyists with access to high-quality equipment with exceptional value, while also providing educational opportunities.

Grizzly invites all woodworking and metalworking enthusiasts to participate in this exceptional event. Whether they are seeking to upgrade a workshop or begin a new project, the tent sale offers customers a chance to acquire tools at a fraction of their retail cost. This is an opportunity to join a community of builders and makers while taking advantage of once-a-year savings.
