pattons i have been buying from them for years for my shop

I've also been goin to Pattons for years now. But my budddie keeps insisting I should try " Industrial Metal Supply" in Riverside. I hear that their scrap section is damn near the size of Pattons and has anything from box tubing to DOM tubing. I plan on tryin them out in a couple weeks for my project.

pattons is great! k&h in riverside is good too.

I use K&H and IMS. They're close to each other and in Riverside so easy to comparison shop in person with the counter man.

Some more suggestions in this thread.

wow, so far ive gotten an quote from ims and Pattons, ims is almost exactly 2x's the price of Pattons. shocking how much a difference in price the same materials can be...... both are a bit higher than id of guessed but...... so is everything in socal .....

okfornow · 07-20-2010, 09:32 PM

yup thats why i like pattons i also buy a lot of remnants from the shelves everytime i go

IMS is over priced! Every time I have them give me a quote they're at least twice as much as everyone else. I don't even bother calling them anymore.

Team tube in Fontana is cheap, but they only sell tube. 1.75 x.120 was about $.60 cheaper per foot than pattons.

Pattons in Ontario or San Bernardino Their prices have been 1/2 of the other guys.

carslut · 07-21-2010, 09:53 AM

i believe my on line quote came from "Pattons in Ontario" but im not 100% sure. im still working on what materials to use as the quote i got was way out side my budget. so its time to come up with a better design for what im building that best uses lesser expensive products.

I have found Team Tube in Fontana to be the cheapest on DOM tubing, and they let me pick up same day.

Competitive metals has good prices and depending what you order they deliver.
If you get a chance, check 'em out... they wheel too
