So it's not even close. The Vessel Water Faucet Screwdriver is by far the most popular item.

What are these used for? I saw the pic where it was being used on a water faucet, but I guess I just don't have faucets that use that kind of fitting?

I would think anywhere you have a big fat screw you want to take out. In my case it might go for a plane iron separating from its chip breaker. I wouldn't count on these for super high torque like taking apart a vise pivot nut

They work well for removing and installing the bolts that hold the glass on some heavy equipment. I am guessing some sort of faucet uses them too, but not one I have repaired before.

FYI: I've left the discount spigot on as we prepare today to get everything together. I haven't counted the final numbers but this was the biggest Epstein's Day yet. Thanks guys for supporting US manufacturing and our little tool store in the midwest.
That looks like a full team of paper, did you have to reload the printer before it was all printed?

Dangit, now I've made my third order. It's technically Wednesday so I guess it's not HJE Day anymore.

#19715

It prys, it's German, and it's less than $5!


(Got some mundane stuff, too. I'm not telling until my packages arrive.)

No, these: (just ordered a few more; look for my HF bit holders to show up next week in the "Tools You Have Found In The Road" thread.)😉

Nylon or brass bolts on toilets get chewed up by using too-small straight blade screwdrivers. If this is the flat style, not rounded at the top, it will work for that. Of course, some cave-men will always see a chisel. Or a hammer

I'm just a caveman. I fell in some ice and later got thawed out by your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me. Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW and run off into the hills... or whatever.

All that being said, if you’d like to add to your order it’s actually easy for me to do so if you see anything in the next week just message me here and i can get it added.
Dangit. That's dirty pool!

Yeah, I kind of want one of those soft-faced Stanley mallets (link) on the off chance you still have any.

EDIT: I'd take the white medium version here if the green soft one is no longer available.

Actually the opposite unless you made an account I believe. Without an account and prior approval the spatula city code was inactive July 4th for me at least.

Third year I’ve participated. Discounts have run through the 4th holiday and the subsequent weekend from what I’ve seen. And sometimes a little longer like this year. Some people will post about a 2nd or even 3rd order. It’s a GJ thing where HJE day rules with discounts are posted in a thread. These rules are in an earlier post of this thread for this year. But one consistent rule in addition to having an HJE account is to send HJE a message via GJ to get signed up for HJE day. Unless you’ve done it prior years, then it doesn’t have to be redone.
