Harry J Epstein Day 2026

[Fedwrench]

We’re slammed! I haven’t forgot about you but I know you guys are the most understanding of the situation. Will hit the stack hard this week and hopefully see some good progress. In past years I held the orders back to wait for the contests but I’m just gonna release what I can and if you win you’ll just have to take a road trip to pick it up.

Hey, not to get all maudlin but, seeing the field jacket liner on the back of the chair made me think of your Dad and how it would have been nice for him to see this Epstein's day.

On a side note, the three new hires can help with the mysterious liquidation purchase after the Epstein's Day orders are filled. I want to see footage of the new liquidation purchase pallets being unloaded and we don't need the OD Green wooden engineer toolboxes You're looking a little pale, get some sun and fresh air, walk around the building during lunch

WHAT THE HECK IS GOIN' ON?

I spent the past month or so worrying that I, personally, was going to ruin HJE Day with my hyper jabbering in this thread. Well, maybe not. But I wonder where the new GJites came from in the thread. It's that newfangled social media!

That, or people bought those pliers at Wal-Mart and somehow, I don't know how, connected that to Wilde to HJE to GJ to HJE Day?

Naaah, it's got to be your songs, Jori! Keep them coming!

Now you need to get on TikTok and hire three college girls to do synchronized dances with tool belts and large Crescent wrenches.

Are you a sicario? Does your family have any vendettas going on? Then this is the knife for you!

Sorry, Jori... just made another order... No, not a dagger knife. Just a putty knife. And my first Eklind purchase ever (that I know of, not sure where my Craftsman Allen L keys of yore came from.)



Earliest HJE Day order # I could find in the thread: 35126

My new order: 36787

Yow.

 

[Odd-job]

wow those HJE 250th anniversary pliers are pretty. If I had seen all the pics people are posting post mortem I would have gotten this into my order. Going to have to put those on my wish list for next year.

Would be awesome to see the top ten or top twenty list of items ordered for inspiration for next year.

You can, if need be, grab them at Wal-Mart. But they don't have HJE or the American flag or the 250th stuff on them, so they're just just mundane patriotic pliers. I bought a pair at Wal-Mart thinking I wouldn't be making another HJE order in a while... kinda regret it now. Maybe I'll sell them to a Frenchman.

SPECIAL HJE ARTWORK ALERT!

I sent a Japanese tomato slicer to a friend, and made an artwork request. This is not at all what I asked for, which is fine with us. But I think it means somebody else didn't get their package art! Or they got my request painted on their package? We shall see...

I received my order today, the long torx screwdriver is my $5 mystery box item. I love how everything is wrapped in paper.
Thank You Epstein's

I'm patiently waiting, hoping to be LAST, and psyched that I remembered to jump in with my order this year!

I had that pipe vise in my cart over the weekend of Epstein day.

Even at the full price they were asking it was about 1/4 the cost of a new one. Been on the hunt for that and an 1818 bender complete with all the shoes.

I need one for work but can’t justify paying for it out of pocket as I have a couple bench mounts at home and will be on light duty when I return to work for the next few months. I will probably hear some **** putting that on the company card when I’m currently out of work.

I would suspect this is not a coincidence they are clearing them out in order to make room for the arrival
of their recent very large purchases
