Epstein Day 2021

[Fedwrench]

OK, NEW YEAR, it's time to crank up the plans for Epstein Day 2021 and start a new thread.

I just want to point out that SK tools turns 100 years old this year and they better get off of their *** and release some new products to celebrate the milestone, Covid or NO Covid.

I'll settle for some 100 year SK Swag though.

In all seriousness, Covid and the effects of it on everyone might prevent our annual celebration of seared flesh, apple pie, American made tools, Fireworks and Independence day but, maybe not. What say you?

A nice bright spot for 2021.

Looking forward to hopefully finally taking part in my first Epstein Day after all these years.

I just want the little green levers on all the (SK) ratchets again. Such a small thing but it looked so good when they had it on the release edition of the LP90!

 

[upgrading]

Uh-Oh.
Little green levers might make me spend some big green

 

[Roschili]

Looking forward to my first ever Epstein's day!

 

[Scotsman1886]

July 4 correct? Just want to confirm

 

[beelsr]

official day, i guess. but it actually runs for a week or few, centered on the 4th.

meaning... don't wait until the 3rd to do your ordering.

 

[d.mcfarland]

Theme idea: "Shop small, big, all."

We're at a point in history that lack of spending on USA products can and will mean closed doors.

Fedwrench,

Thanks for getting us going. I did this last year for the first time, it was great.

But where is Jeff Moss, the HJE fan club chairman???

Agreed on getting in for the first time and I absolutely do not need another ratchet, but really would grab one with the green lever.

I have no idea what Epstein day is for but I like it!

I can’t wait. [emoji4]

One thing I’d like to suggest is some sort of shipping discount, maybe with a minimum order. I’d love to order a lot but that is what’s holding me back

I think it would really boost participation.

Doesn’t have to be free , any help is appreciated.

Looking forward to Epstein's Day 2021 after participating with small orders in 2019 and 2020. Just tried to visit the website and it's blocked for European access, as are many other US websites. I guess it's time to invest in a VPN. I don't expect HJE to invest the time and money in complying with the stupid EU data protection requirements, especially for a handful at best of military/government overseas customers. Heck, I can't even access Home Depot and Lowes from Germany. I'll find a way to get my order in to once again support an excellent small business.

They already DO a pretty decent discount on product AND you want them to eat part of the shipping?

Isn't there already special pricing for GJ members?

Maybe Jori can chime in?

 

[ToolPolisher]

I understand the "production delays" the green selector on the LP90 ratchets. With that said, there's a six-month heads-up for SK to work with HJE and get those limited-edition ratchets going for Epstein's Day!

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I apologize

My inquiry is specific to large (weight) orders (minimum 200lbs). perhaps some kind of freight option or other shipping method is practical, better suited and more economical in this situation. I thought it was a valid question. If it not possible , so be it.

I specifically said it didn’t need to be free. I love HJE and wouldn’t ask them to “eat” anything on my behalf.

I look forward to upgrading a number of tools and participating in general . :: excited::

 

[BiggityBen]

i've already got my order for the year together in my head. i'm especially excited for SK 1/2" speed handle. i want to know if the Wright 3/4" drive 42" ratchet is still something that can be ordered. that'll also be very exciting purchase! and i'll finally order the SK metric 3/8" swivel impact socket set i've been putting off for too long.

I have some pretty old SK speed handles (3/8" and 1/2") that I picked up in a lot of old tools that I bought a while back and started using them this past year. Man, they are GREAT! As long as you have the space to use 'em, they're such a pleasure to use.

Edit: meh

 

[Prospecter]

Had my 2021 order all set to go. . . and temptation got the better of me. I placed the order! Now I'll need to start another list!

I've placed a half dozen orders, mostly in July, and always been satisfied.

 

[NoahG]

A list has already formed in my cart, per the usual I'll be hitting the closeout deals hard.

Hi everyone.

Is there a thin profile wrench set on epsteins? I’m looking for something like Martin style hydraulic wrenches.

Thanks everyone

 

[Woody1320]

I participated in 2019, but last year had to sit out. The goal is to submit an order this year again. I always enjoy supporting small business, and they do a fantastic job of taking care of their customers. I think I'll request some box art this time around, too.

 

[jsackin]

Welp, just saw the thread. Wanted to let you know we’ll be down for something this year and I’ll answer your burning questions tomorrow when I’m back in the office. Just so you know we’re working on a big closeout deal that will come in multiple shipments starting next week, so there’ll be plenty of interesting US made NOS stuff coming to the website soonish. Did I mention we’ve been crazy busy? Anyway, it’s good to hear from everyone during COVID times. Hope you guys are hanging in there!

Great to know you guys are busy and that you & your dad have the same hair Looking forward to seeing what develops for this year's Epstein's Day. Stay Healthy!!!

 

[Prospecter]

That's a relief! Just placed an order and I was afraid there'd be nothing left for me to order in July!!!!

“Plenty of interesting US made NOS” The amount of excitement I felt while reading that is not normal.

Agreed ! Me too! I’d love it if they filmed the truck unloading , unboxing the inventory etc .
Could be fun .

 

[anndel]

I'm in again this year.

 

[Rusty67]

Holy ****, I totally forgot about this last year. Subbing to this thread now so I don't forget this year!

 

[67CarGuy]

Thanks for the reminder! Last year was my first time joining the club, and I have no intention of stopping now! I had no idea so much cool stuff existed. Good thing I set aside some $$ on a regular basis for more tools!

 

[wobble]

Looking forward to this!

[emoji846]

I have to be careful with their website. It can turn into a 2 hour rabbit hole if your not careful
.

 

[RTM]

Two hours! I wish. I’m still digging through stuff you all ordered last year, planning for this year.

 

[02Xterra]

Can't wait!! This will be my 6th year!
