Just got this in this afternoon. Thought I would give you guys a heads up. I haven't put anything online yet, but it should all go up tomorrow afternoon. This deal is 18 pallets of mostly Grayvik merchandise: lots of different types of hammers, pry bars and nail pullers. There is some Vaughn name brand stuff in there to, and we got a small quantity of Diamond cross pein hammers!

This is a regular once a year deal, so don't worry about Vaughn. Basically, when they aren't satisfied with the finish of a tool, they set it aside. Once a year, when their warehouse gets full they stick a Grayvik sticker on it and sell it to someone like us. I've looked at most of the stuff and the finishes are really nice for seconds. Everything has this shiny clear coat on it, and the wood and fiberglass handles look great.

I always thought that Grayvik looked like Vaughn. Good to hear the whole story.

That engineers' hammer seems like a good deal. Do you ship in priority boxes :)

Yes, we do ship in flat rate boxes. The option isn't listed on our website, but if you call us up or leave a comment while you're checking out we'll adjust the shipping rate for you.

thanks

Have the Diamond cross pein hammers been posted yet, or is it in a misc. section of the closeouts???

It's hard to believe that it's been over a year since we first got this deal. Well, we got another one in last Saturday. 20 pallets of new Vaughn/Grayvik hammers, nail pullers and super bars. The last batch had a clear coat on them. This batch is painted dark blue. Some pretty interesting stuff. All US made of course. Just put it up this morning.

I had posted about the Grayvik stuff a long time ago. It is good stuff, we sell lots of it and I don't see anything wrong cosmetically.
I have wondered why Vaughn goes through all the trouble of making the Grayvik stuff a different color and all, only to sell it at a deep discount to places like ours.

Possibly so that if the label is worn away there is zero possibility that it can be confused for a regular Vaughan?

I just got in a Grayvik Hammer from epsteins and it looks great. Got a dark tint clear coat on the steel, and If it didnt have the grayvik sticker on it I would swear its a Vaughan. If anyone is looking for a great deal on a Hammer then heres your place! I paid $15 for a Milled Face 22oz All Steel USA Made hammer and you would pay $23 at Lowes for a Chinese Kobalt or $25-30 for a Vaughan or Estwing.

Here it is next to a 16ox Estwing and a 13oz sh*tty kobalt that was part of my 41 cent Lowes purchase
