Wilde Snap Ring Plier w/ Interchangeable tips

Let me know how you like those. I was eyeballing that set myself.

 

[lowbucktruck]

I'm a little late posting my pics of my Epstein purchases, but here there are. My package took a bit of damage, but all items arrived safely. I really like the Wilde prybar! Gonna have to order some more of those!
I ordered from Epstein:
Wilde prybar
Clutch-head screwdrivers (Wilde)
S-K impact sockets

And free T-shirt and pliers were included. Very nice touch!

Do those prybars feel pretty stout?

Yes, they're badass,especially when you consider the price. I have the 25" that they sell for $8.75.

I'll admit, I've mostly used it for prying on suspension bits, but I've put some decent pressure on it.

 

[fflintstone]

Mine shipped out Friday, so maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. This is my 5th order from them since the fire and probably the smallest so far but I asked for some pretty specific box art.

 

[blacK20]

I'm a little late but I get my order earlier this week. Here are the pics! The free shirt and pliers are great! Thanks!

I was debating on that punch and chisel set. Looks pretty nice. Now I regret not getting it.

I haven't used my Wilde prybar yet, maybe this weekend. This prybar is definitely BEEFY! Glad I didn't buy the Craftsman prybar set and got the Wilde instead. Definitely going to order more of 'em from Epstein.

I thought they were the same bar (made by Wilde for Craftsman) ?

They are the same. I assume he meant that he was giving more support to Wilde and HE by buying them this way.

Got an email from Epsteins a few days ago about my official July 4 order. Seems the wright 3440 ratchet I ordered isn't available till the end of July so i guess I'll have to wait a little. No biggie I'm in no rush. I do appreciate that they gave me a heads up and gave me options to ship what they had and the ratchet later or to wait for the ratchet to ship it all. Just another example of the great service and people that work there. Already have a few items picked out for my next order. Their store is Becoming as addicting as the damn snap on truck!!

Ah, I read it (following lowbucktruck's beefy comment) as implying the Wilde was beefier than the Craftsman.

 

[slob]

Big fan of Wilde, Wright, and Epstein's.

 

[Jack Olsen]

I'm very happy with my order -- but am I the only one not to get the free pliers and a t-shirt? (Granted, I didn't list a size.) In any case, my stuff arrived well packed and complete -- and I'm already thinking about going back for the Wilde prybar and maybe that chisel and punch set.

 

[north]

No freebies? Bummer. Did you identify yourself as a GJ'er?

And you can't say you got your order and not share the content. That's against the rules. Or sumtin'.

 

[vibblueser]

Here's my order
1. Free Pliers (These are nice)
2. 9 Inch Crescent USA End Nippers
3. 9 Inch Crescent USA Linemans Pliers
4. USA Vise Grip 6LN
5. USA Vise Grip 10WR
6. Free Wright T-Shirt

Thanks to Epsteins.

No one listed a size. The Epstein's shirts they sell. They had about two days notice this was going to happen and were putting an order together for things they knew would be popular, when a vendor called them and offered some giveaways. (the vendor watches this forum, it sounds like)

 

[jeffmoss26]

No, they did say to give your shirt size...

Please enclose your shirt size with your Epstein's day order as some of our tool distributors sent us t-shirts to give away. Won't say who yet, but sizes are L and XL.

That said I forgot too but still got a T-shirt and pliers.

 

[RedFordTruck]

I never knew to list shirt size, but luckily I bought an Epstein T-shirt so they knew what size Wright T-shirt to send!

 

[davesnothere]

Do you suppose a very specific box art request would result in a delay? I requested some as well, and have yet to receive, or hear anything about, my order.

 

[wantedabiggergarage]

That never got posted on the gazette side. I only came over AFTER the sale.

 

[NotEnough]

My order arrived on Fri. I was getting a bit worried b/c everybody was rec'g their orders and I hadn't heard anything on my order.

Sporting the HJE shirt today. Thanks a bunch guys.

 

[Catalyze]

Here is my order. It is a pick set....a 2 pound brass hammer....and a flex funnel with filter screen. They are just items that I never think to buy when I am in any kind of tool store. Ordered on July 4th and arrived on July 9th. Not too bad.....only 3 working days by Priority Mail.

I need one or three of those funnels.

yes, i messaged jori, and he said the box art is delaying some of the orders. but this was quite a few days ago. so they should be catching up if not already.

i didnt request any box art, tried to give the guy a break. even if he spends only ten minutes per box, that adds up to some serious time spent drawing and painting on boxes. very awesome of him to do it tho!

 

[franzdom]

That was so much fun I just placed my 2nd order

 

[ToolUsingAnimal]

Here's my order:

Long and short funnel (VERY nice!), 12" Wilde pry bar that I've already gotten the chance to abuse, 3/8 Wright ratchet from the sale section (needs oil, but it's very nicely made), free pliers , thread file, nail setter, large, medium, and small Grace handles, a bunch of Norseman taps, yellow paint marker, high moly drill bit set, an oil can, and a free Wright sticker and tee shirt.

And the real prize:

Box art of a laser engraving Epstein's logo on the moon . I'm framing it!

 

[radgto]

Received my order today.

I'm really impressed with the quality of the pry bars and the brass hammer but I think my favorite part is the long reach oil funnel.

The $15 punch and chisel set has the weirdest collection of pieces ever assembled.. It has to be a specialty military set.

I'll be ordering more bigger C-clamps and a couple more funnels for sure, just wanted to see the quality first.

I didn't get a T-shirt or pliers either.

 

[Peoria Man]

Mine came today too; one item was out of stock for a few days, hence the delay. I got some deep sockets in my most-often used sizes, a wobble extension and some 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"-drive extensions, all from Wright. Nice tools! No pliers or T-shirt for me though.

 

[mfgorilla]

Mine finally came last night.
Wright 3/8" drive ratchet
Milton tire tread depth gauge
Wilde Gasket Scraper
16 oz Ball Pein Hammer
Not in the picture is the Wilde 36" pry bar
And the free pliers and T-Shirt.

 

[1982fxr]

got these several days ago...USA made face shield, Wilde cotter key puller, and magnetizer/demagnetizer. Super pumped to open my package and find a Wright shirt in there! Got the free plers too. That last pic is the new Wilde cotter key tool at home with the other Wilde screwdrivers form a previous order.

 

[reson46]

I had been thinking about these EZ Locks for a while. This seemed like the perfect time to pick some up.

I also got a set of 1/2" drive 12 point deep and shallow Wilde socket sets, and a shallow set of 1/2" drive SK impact sockets.

A set of complimentary pliers and a Wilde shirt also came along for the ride.

Thanks,
Willy

How much were the EZ locks?

How much were the EZ locks?

$10 & $12.

[RedFordTruck]

Not bad! How are they compared to vise-grips?

I haven't had a chance to use them. Initial impression is they feel really well made. I will be interested to see how the auto size adjustment holds up compared to Vise-Grips.

[RedFordTruck]

Keep us posted! At $10-$12 I may pick some up if theyre worth it!

 

[Bull]

My order arrived today! I had told Jori not to rush on getting mine out, since I am to blame for loading him up with packaging work.

I am not prepared to share pics yet, as my work bench is a mess and I didn't have time to set up the shot today. Soon!

 

[grogthegreat]

My order arrived!
I got the three Armstrong 944 locking flex ratchets, a Wilde 3/16 nut driver, a tool roll, a free awesome Wright t-shirt, and some awesome box art. My pictures don't do the ratchets justice. They are very nice. There is such a huge size difference between the three of them. The tool roll is great and is much better quality than I was expecting considering the price.

Don't feel bad Bull I got mine last Monday and haven't had time to take a pic of the goodies yet !!!
