    Epstein's Tool Gossip : Channellock's New Locking Pliers

    Just heard Channellock is going to launch a locking pliers line. It'll be made in Spain from Grip-On. I told them to buy Malco and do a US made line of pliers but we'll give these a shot if the price is right.

    Asides from SK, who makes a 1/4” socket set with both metric and standard?

    When I was at Wright Tool I told them they needed to make a set like this and they said they'd work on it so we'll see...

    Does anyone make a adjustable wrench comparable to Proto’s click stop?

    Western Forge was the OEM for the proto click stop adjustables. I've never seen that clickstop feature on another brand besides Proto though. They're no longer in business but they used to make adjustables for just about everyone (SK, Wright, Proto, Armstrong, Williams, Etc)

    Wright Tools, The Good, The Bad

    The problem’s been that they have to wait in line to get their steel and because the market is still trying to keep up, steel companies have focused on their best selling products and not so much on their lesser selling. So the really small stuff, the stock that’s used to make the tiniest...

    Wright Tools, The Good, The Bad

    I recently took a tour of Wright's factory and what stood out to me was they have everything done in-house. They make their own dies, they dropforge, heat treat, chrome, everything. Most tool manufacturers do some of that, but then have to ship it around the country for the rest of those steps...

    Malco Eagle Grip pliers

    For some reason they never sent us the straight jaw 7" so we didn't order any when we restocked.

    Malco Eagle Grip pliers

    We just got a small shipment of eagle grip pliers in. More on the way. When they announced they were closing the line they said they had about 1,000 of each plier in stock. Not sure where it's at right now. https://www.harryepstein.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=eagle+grip

    Current situation with SK

    I'm assuming it's all new production but there's no real way to be sure. Got the shipment in today.

    Current situation with SK

    We've had one shipment from them since they moved. All 1/4" and 3/8" socket sets. Just got a bill for another shipment on Friday for the same kind of stuff. Looks the same as it always had. All stamped USA. No wrenches though.

    Ratcheting flare nut wrench

    Just got a deal on these sets from a government supplier. Most people that find them useful are refrigeration guys. The ones we got say "Stride". Have some random Bonneys in the basement and I've seen Wright and SK also private label these as well. Wouldn't be surprised if Stride was the one...
