My drawers are shaking in fear at the sight of all those portable nut lathes.
My order arrived across the Atlantic when I was on vacation, so I’m late in posting. Mostly USA made tools, drill bits and supplies items except for a few. The #51 and 67 boxes are piston ring compressors.
Thanks Jori and the HJE Team for the box art, which I forgot to photograph, and great packaging despite the huge rush of orders.
I’m looking forward to the Martin Tools items postings so I can buy more tools I probably don’t need.

Always good to see a bomb tether in an order.
I'm still trying to figure out how to put my first one to good use. Now I have two. Any ideas? Giant key chain? We do occasionally find old WWII bombs during excavation so maybe I can tether one.
Are those Ideal slip joints?
Yes, $5 surprise box
I like the grips on those, wish they had more.
Maybe buy 2 sets of each one for SAE and one metric.....Why not adjust each wrench to a specific size and label it?
The little soft tip hammer wasn't encouragement enough, and the Clown Hammer was the next closest...
Nice hammer! Nice shocks!

Is anybody else randomly checking the new items section today awaiting the Martin drop? Could it be just me?
It's go time.
Edited this post to remove a screenshot that scaled ridiculously. 59 new Martin items dropped.

I think ProAmerica is still around? Something about their website sets off alarm bells on my computer's browser at home, but when I'd previously checked at work it looked like they had restocked a lot of models. If they fix their website, I might buy some more stuff!
Got my last items from HJE Day order #1:
T shirt, Wright 24mm, Top tiny crescent wrench:
Tee hee!
Max jaw size, 26mm. But 7mm is as small as it goes, actually. Kind of a surprise. I think they wanted to retain some strength in the body around the adjuster screw. They probably make even smaller adjustable wrenches for tiny things.
2.5mm at tip, 2.9mm at base.
I'd estimate a 15-degree offset.
Not a pry bar, dummy:
Now, who are the long-pattern wrenches? My Wright 22mm from a previous order is basically the same size as my old CMan RP.
My Craftmsan Professional (USA) stable on the SAE size does get big enough to compare. It's about 3/4" shorter than the 15/16", and 1" shorter than the 1".

My machine has the same security alert.
I got mine yesterday, too. Last item from this year's HJE Day order.
There is a good thread on ProAmerica Emporium Forging here at GJ

First package arrived while I was away. I procrastinated long enough to post that my back ordered wrench arrived. I think I will need another of these in a larger size.
my wife was excited for the scraper. She was not impressed with the coin driver. She said a quarter was good enough.
bonus item was the Felo bit driver. Box was in memory of our two dogs, the last of whom we said goodbye to earlier this spring.

Tell it to the battery hatch on the bottom of our binoculars! Nickel is almost right, quarter is closer in diameter but too thin... poor thing's been mangled, I tells ya!
Yes! The larger ones have a two-piece adjuster screw and a spring making for no slop. Very slick.

If Japanese made, it's probably built for a Yen sized coin. 40+ yrs ago, my AE-1 Program was built for I think a 5¥ coin. Much better fit. Buddy brought a handful of coins home from a trip, along with 70-210 lens for each of us
. Bigggg deal back then.ptabatcher

I had one or two in my cart and then took them out. Don’t know if I’ll wait until next year.

There’s another truckload showing up on Monday and then another one a week after that and so on for the next couple months.

The Martin tools seem to be selling pretty quickly! You may want to place several smaller orders instead of waiting and trying to order them all at once.
I second this. A few of the items on my order were refunded due to them selling out.
Thanks Jori and others. Partial order placed including a 10" made in USA?? crescent wrench from Jori's commercial.
