Dear Friends,
It was one year ago today that I rolled out the idea for what became the first annual Epstein's Day event. It's time to start considering participating in the event this year if you are so inclined.
In a nutshell, Epstein's a small family-owned and operated business with a long tradition of providing quality tools and excellent customer service. Jori Sackin himself is here among us in the GJ community. Epstein's focuses on USA-made products whenever possible, often offering items made here that compete in price with their foreign equivalents. You can also ask for your shipping boxes to be customized with artwork. This blew my mind when I first learned about it. I save all of mine and use it to decorate my garage.
Anyway, it makes sense to me to connect our July 4th celebrations of our nation and its rich history to an event to support a company that represents what America used to be and still is in places. If you wish to participate all you need to do is place an order on July 4th (midnight to midnight is how I look at it) and mention in the comments field that you are participating in Epstein's Day.
Jori has allowed me to share the following news about some small incentives for this year's event:
Each order that comes through on Epstein's day that has some comment referring to Epstein's day will get:
A free armstrong screwdriver. http://store.harryepstein.com/cp/Wes...ge/66-440.html
The first 100 orders with a Wright item will get a free Wright t-shirt. Please specify size. We'll try to accomodate.
Each order over $100 gets a free ratcheting craftsman screwdriver (along with the armstrong SD). http://store.harryepstein.com/cp/Wes...rge/47473.html
If you want to see last year's thread about the event, look here:

Also, here is the thread where many of us shared pics of our orders once they came in:

I hope to match or surpass last year's event in terms of numbers of participants. You can order one small item or one giant pile, it's up to you.
Thanks for your time and consideration.

On a final note: Epstein's finds and offers USA-made products that I never even knew were available, often from small family-owned companies. For example, when I just went over there to copy the web address, I saw that they had just added a line of work gloves made in the USA by a company down in Knoxville. A week or so ago they added all sorts of hardware (shackles, turnbuckles, bolts etc.) from a company in Chicago. I love it.
