I’m here in Vegas for the Sema show. Just for the first few days. Going for the tools but if you guys have any requests I’ll see what I can do.

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.

Wanted to give you guys a heads up and let you know the newish version of our website is up. Still might have a few small bugs, but please let us know everything you hate about it and how terrible it is here and I will take it under review. www.harryepstein.com

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on a promo we're running this year. Tried to get another SK Day together, but ran short on time. Still working on something, and will let you know as soon as any details are available. In the meantime, here's some deals we are running for the holiday...

Was wondering who your go-to guys were for tool reviews online. Jori HJE

There has been a lot of talk recently about Sears and the corporate trend toward moving manufacturing overseas. While it seems like we might be repeating ourselves in having the same discussion over and over, I do think it's an important discussion to have. There are many different angles to...

Anybody know anything about this guy? My lathe knowledge is subpar. We got offered a few of these. Not sure what to make of them. Jori HJE

Had an Apex rep stop by the store today and drop one of these off as a sample. It is the newest addition to what has been deemed, "The Ratchet Wars." How many teeth can you fit inside a ratchet head? 120 seems to be the new high set by Gearwrench. Wondered if you guys had any experience with...

Just noticed that we got some more pry bars from Estwing and the PB-18's came in US made. They've been imported for a long time, so it looks like Estwing is joining the growing movement of smaller US manufacturers to replace the import parts of their line with domestic products. Great news for...

Has anyone ever needed a bronze hammer as opposed to brass? Supposedly the bronze is softer so it doesn't mar the surface as much. Jori Sackin Harry J. Epstein Co.

Here is the first part of the Wilde Tool deal. More to follow in the next couple days. We have a number of NOS Blue Bird Straight and Duckbill Snips. They are labeled "Wilde" but come in the old Blue Bird boxes. They are probably at least 20 years old but look to be in perfect condition...

So here are two US wrench sets that we made up out of our stock of Wright and Williams US wrenches. If you are looking for a great quality US combo wrench set, but don't care that they all match, then this is the set for you. This is a 3/8 to 1 1/4" Combination Wrench Set. 12 Point. Mixed...

I found a 1932 Paxton and Gallagher Co. tool catalog. I love the old tool line art in these catalogs and thought I'd start a post to see if anyone else has some examples to. This is a picture of their supply warehouse in Omaha. Jori...

So, most days we sit around the counter and talk to guys that come in the store about tools. This includes guys that use tools, guys that sell tools and guys that make tools, so we hear a lot about what's going on. (Some of it may even be true.) I thought this thread might be a good place to...
