Sorry folks, no pictures here. Now the question. How many of you have any Diamond point, or cape chisels in your arsenal of tools? I just added mine yesterday.

I stopped at Harry Epstein's in KC yesterday and spent about an hour wandering around the place, including the cellar where they keep all the old Bonney stuff. I ended up buying nine chisels, four of them Cape chisels and the balance Diamond points, they are all chrome plated and made by Wilde, some marked with the brand, and others not. $24 for the fist full of nine total cost out the door. I thought that was a good price for so many of them.

BTW: If you call and ask I am sure the nice folks at Harry's will gladly give you the prices on the individual 1/4" Bonney flex sockets they have down there in the basement. :thumbup:

You went to Harry's and you didn't bring a camera for some pics?

I am the poor SOB that does not own a digital camera! Harry's is the best, the basement is like a blast from the past, many boxes of goods still setting there that are rusty and damaged from flooding. Many boxes of old military surplus stuff, example a box containing hundreds of the same odd ball sized half inch drive Snap-on sockets from the day all of which are still heavily covered in cosmoline.

Another example was the Proto/Plomb single end pebble line wrenches that many here including me collect/use. The biggest one I have ever seen or been aware of up till yesterday was a 1 & 1/2" I traded another member here for. I saw a huge box of 1&3/4" Proto's at Harry's yesterday in the basement, must have been several hundred, all the same size in the one box. Many, many boxes of stuff like this scattered all about the basement.

The building itself is very old, I would estimate likely upwards of a hundred years old, no ADA compliant restrooms at Harry's! I love going there. Remember, like I said, they will treat phone orders just as good as those walking in off the street. :thumbup:

You are correct about the smell, not offensive, but it does have it's own smell. :thumbup:

Which is the one that is kind of curved? I have used the one before for cutting old races out of linkages for some of our older machines.

I think you are speaking of the diamond tip, the shape of the tip looks like that of a diamond. The Cape chisel has flared sides, and is quite flat/thin for accessing tight spaces like keyways.

UB, if you don't own a camera, what do you use to post your pictures?

Every picture I have ever posted here was snapped on about three different occasions when I borrowed the camera the wife and I gifted our 17 daughter the witch! I borrowed her digital as I said about three times total ever to snap the pics you see that I use here and she was just too nasty about it so I promised her I would never ask to borrow her camera again. The real problem for me though is the wife and I still do not own a digital camera.

I need to remedy that by taking some of the money for said daughters next gift and buying the wife and I a new digital! Heck no I am not kidding, clearly we have spoiled the girl, it wasn't like I ever intended to abuse the borrowing privledges :beer:

Harry's sounds like my kind of place!

Got a tel. # or an address?

I'm feeling a motorcycle daytrip coming on.
