Epstein's Day 2022?

[m6z]

Added those nut drivers to the cart. Thanks.

 

[Squankum]

I just found these last night in the SK clearance listings. Looks like Bondhus to me, which is nice, because I wanted some more Bondhus T-handles!




Here's the current street price for this (Bondhus?) SK in SAE, which seems high to me:

I recently got these and they're neat! Not super long, and only two jaws, built in 1947 or earlier. They're probably the oldest tool I have. Someday I'll need a non-flexible grabber and these will be waiting, right next to the usual, longer, four-fingered grabber.

 

[jsackin]

So here's the deals. I will most likely update this list as it gets closer to the official day. We also just bought a closeout deal on Sands levels, which should get here in about a week or so. Stay tuned for that.

The Rabone Chesterman rulers are also really nice for the money.

Found something else to buy on HJE.... Norseman vortex drill bits . They are supposed to be the equivalent to Matco's Hyper-step drill bits.

I've got my cart ready! A few Wright item's, some closeouts, a set of Norseman bits and some Bessy clamps.

Alright GJ, do what you do best and encourage a stranger to splurge on tools. Got about $20 of Wright stuff I need plus $40 more that I don't need but want. Got recommendations on anything they make that is a must-have for about $40 to put me into tshirt territory?

 

[PlantItDeep]

Amazing how time flies! I need to attach a photo of the amazing box art I got last year!

And get an order ready. I've been meaning to order several items anyway, but never finalized my cart - good time to add more

I got a decent wish list for this year. Is it too early to start putting in orders?

Good call but I've already got that one. Picked it up from a local place that stocks Wright. Nice little unit, I know this depends on the person but to me the palm balance of that grip is perfect

Shoot a message to @jsackin

• "How do I get those sweet sweet GJ prices?"
  
  • Create an account on our website then message me on GJ your email address so I can add you to the group.
  • If you've already done this in years past you don't need to do it again.
  • If you're unsure if you've done this, just ask and I can tell you if you're signed up.
  • When you order be sure to leave a comment that says, "Happy Epstein's Day" or something like that. Points for creativity will be rewarded.

PM Jori.

Epstein's Day 2022?

I might have to spend a few bucks as well this year. Don't buy many tools anymore....

GJ is pretty cool, new to this. Just heard about it from Epstein's youtube video.

I have ordered many made in USA tools at GREAT PRICES from this ALL AMERICAN Company. Mr Epstein Sr actually called me to help me with an order

 

[Ignacio]

I remember actually learning of Epsteins from this forum some time back. First time I called them about some Crescent wrenches and talked to Epstein Sr. Real nice folks there.
Finally got to swing by KC and visit their store last week... All 3 floors and basement! Pretty neat place.

 

[m6z]

Do you have a picture of the tote? I understand it probably hasn't been printed yet, but it might push me to spend $200 on Wright..

I'd love to go by someday. I imagine it like some magical space that's far bigger inside than the outside would lead you to believe, kind of like a scene out of Harry Potter. I'd probably keep running into walls thinking there's another dimension somewhere.

 

[zanyad]

@jsackin Jori, is there any way to buy this year's T-shirt? Ordering that much Wright merch isn't in the budget.

 

[jsackin]

These are made by our guy in southern Missouri AKA Bob. Matt was nice enough to be the tote bag model. Figured they were going to be hauling around heavy tools so we made it accordingly. The same image that's printed on the shirts will be on the bags.

This is a bit tricky because normally we run out of shirts for the guys that qualify so I haven't wanted to sell them separately BUT this year I'm making more shirts, so it should be possible to have them listed. If we do start running out I'm going to give preferential treatment to the guys that qualified, but if it comes to that we'll just do another run of the shirts so you might get it further down the line if you order it from the site.

Golden! It has been a long day already - this was a great fun diversion, thank you.
Good advice for the long weekend too

I think I have everything picked out and ready to go. Only one of the Wright Tool items in my cart are in stock.

 

[tjpavlov]

Are there any of the $5 mystery bags anymore? Those were always fun.

 

[B Hansen]

Well I jumped the gun and submitted my order a day early (I thought today was Friday, oops). Oh well, hopefully this just means I beat the rush and I don't think I picked up anything related to the sale anyway.

 

[Crabman]

Jori,

Thanks to you, your dad and all the HJE folks for doing this.

Hope you have a great 4th!

Long time lurker, first time poster (also, will now insert the obligatory "this website has definitely cost me good deal of money on tools!" comment )

Have been hoping to participate in an Epstein's Day for some time now, and have been strongly considering getting a set of Wright combo wrenches for a while as well... so this year's special day being also combined with a special promotion on Wright tools seems like a sign, you know? The universe is practically demanding I buy them at this point!

Last minute additions:

Some of the blem Sands levels arrived so we have six of those on offer.
We also have a killer deal on the 3 pc craftsman pry bar set.

There isn't but if you put in the comments that you're going to pickup we'll take the shipping charges off on the backend
