I've been trolling the closeouts section of Harry Epstein's website for a while. They recently installed a new cart system that animates the tool sailing into a shopping cart when you choose it. Hilarious. It was so much fun, I bought a bunch of stuff I may or may not need.

First the USA-made group:

I've been looking for affordable deep-grip locking pliers for a while. The small locking pliers is made by Crescent. I was surprised to see "made in the USA" on the Bondhaus ball drivers. I expected someplace else. The clear-handle tool is a Craftsman screw starter.

Next up are my very first Bahco tools. Made in Sweden, France and Italy. If you like Bahco, they are giving these things away. The Razor saw was $8.

Next is the French and German group. I didn't need the Belzer insulated Pozidrive at all, but the two-hand grip was too cool to pass up.

I was delighted to pick up that pair of FACOM hex wrenches for cheap, as they are the two sizes I was missing from my module, shown below.

Just for fun, the Columbia group.

That's pretty cool. Hey, what gives - no matter how much stuff you throw in the shopping cart it never gets full! That's some trickery right thur.

I got those flex tape w/yellow handles as well. And I picked up some Bahco gardening stuff as well from Harry. The hedge trimmers for $40 are outstanding.

You do know that Snap-on owns Bahco don't you? :bounce:
But, of course, I learned that here. I don't think I'd have given them a second glance if I didn't know they were Snappy owned. I only have one Snap-on branded tool in my box. I prefer tools from "Snap-on of Europe". (FACOM) :lol_hitti
