Epstein's Day 2022?
I might have to spend a few bucks as well this year. Don't buy many tools anymore....

Received most of the items outside of the backorders on my Wright ratchet. Really pleased with the long sleeve HJE shirt. Bayside, the manufacturer, makes awesome shirts that have held up well for me. The SK wrenches are awesome, I wish I had bought the metrics awhile back. Oh well. Overall super happy once again from HJE!
The box art are Blues Brothers inspired and Night of the Living Dead Tools.

One half of my order (backordered a Wright combo wrench set I am eagerly waiting on still) showed up this last week. Requested art, and gave the purposefully open-ended notes that "there's a bunch of Wright tools in this order, Wright is in Ohio, and I've heard that a lot of famous astronauts have come from Ohio, so maybe something combining those three?"
Well, they delivered!
I got one of those "rusty" SK wrenches too... assumed it would be a crusty mess given the very low price (I got the 30mm one!), but no, it's more like a patina then anything else, and I really, really like how this wrench feels in the hand. Needless to say, very pleasantly surprised with this particular purchase!

My order arrived Friday… a few days ahead of the initial USPS estimate. Got a long 1/2” Wright ratchet. Can’t wait to use it. The contour grip feels great. Also got a 10mm wright wrench. Realized I didn’t really have a good 10mm.
The box art is great. We lost our black Chow Chow, Coco, unexpectedly this spring. The art nailed it. My wife isn’t one to save anything… even she said that we need to keep the box. Thanks to Jori and everyone at HJE.

My order finally arrived! The mystery box was pretty nice with a short proto flathead screwdriver, universal joint, and a few 1" flat head driver bits. My box art request: If Mondrian painted a crescent wrench. Thanks HJE!

Just received my order and I couldn’t be happier. So surprised to win the Yeti cooler and yes, my winning leaf is on the left. So surprised to see box art as well! Can’t wait for next year!

My order arrived a couple weeks back and I'm just now getting around to posting it. I did not think that I qualified for the bag so that was a nice surprise! My girlfriend has been using it daily taking things to work. I had requested box art but it was missed; that's alright, I'll just have to make another order!
Due to shipping damage, the 14-in 1950s round file did not make it to Virginia, but a quick email to Jori and he said they throw one in next time. Can't beat that!
I can only assume that this is my $5 mystery box item, a Plomb 3/8" universal joint! Pretty cool. It'll be going on the shelf next to the Bonney 3/8 universal that I bought years ago when my dad and I visited HJE. Steve said that he hadn't seen one in the store in a long time, and was quite surprised that I found it in the basement on a shelf.

There must be something wrong with me then because I have a 3/8” nut driver in every tool bag, on every bench and in the vehicles I own.

I think that the pricing on them was just too good to pass up.
I got one of those universals as my mystery item too. I didn't think much of it until I added it to a socket rail next to my other universal joints. I have to say the Plomb one is significantly smaller than any of the others that I own. I bet it will save me one of these days.
My box arrived today. Thanks for the box art for my daughter. I ordered three mystery bags and once again received some interesting items. Also got one of the coveted HJE awards. Thanks and glad to once again support HJE and US made tools.

Just had to be by there today, so stopped in and picked up some of my forgot to order items, as well as a couple things off my wish list.
For those of you who it isn't local, if you ever get there, it is more expensive to walk in, then to order online, when you see all the toys.

Stopped in for the first time today. It was one of the most awesome tool stores I've ever been in. Next time I'm in KC I'll stop by again. I did spend some money but I escaped pretty cheaply....this time!
My modest order. Was waiting to see if the items on backorder arrived, but no luck yet. The Plomb u-joint was my $5 mystery item. Really like the design on the shirt/bag as well. The small breaker bar is excellent and also has a drive end on the handle, which is a thoughtful feature. Thanks HJE for another great year and the little extras thrown in. Much appreciated.

Is this so it can serve as an extension?
It can, you can attach any drive tool at the end. A sliding-t would work well too.

The work I do these days is in my wood shop building such things as cabinets among other things, but HJE sells the Dubuque bar clamps for a WHOLE less than anyone online or anywhere else I've found.
I could spend a few days just browsing stuff on their site.

Mine was a Magnolia 58, no longer shows up under Magnolia or 58.
Thanks. Went looking at Magnolia brushes on Amazon, shipping prices from third party vendors kinda stunk, then I found this company also making brushes in US and A, and prices were comparable:

Many happy reviews.
My long awaited Epstein's Day 2022 order finally arrived today. It was a small order consisting of a Wright 752 satin finished metric combination wrench set and one of those decoders. Call me crazy but, I think the wrenches were worth the wait. Jori and the gang must have felt sorry for waiting this long and threw in two Epstein's T shirts, a Plomb WWII 3/8 drive tee handle, a couple of stubby Tekton screwdrivers, and some decals in addition to my tote bag. 
A great surprise indeed Thanks to all of the Epstein's peeps that go out of their way to fulfill orders

Just in time for 2023 HJE day.
hoping to see the new Channellock & Mayhew screwdrivers by then
