[Fedwrench]

yes the list was posted and I love sk tools and am very glad they are still made in the USA. There's a few things on the list I'm interested in, just wondering where to purchase the tools

www.harryepstein.com on the last weekend of October.

 

[77chevy]

Cant wait for SK day! I am local and spent $300 on a couple visits last month. I can spend hours in there finding stuff that I want but don't necessarily need.

We even got to see the goodies in the basement.

Thanks Jori for providing us awesome deals on USA made tools.

 

[jsackin]

As promotional items for SK Day come in I will post them up. Today we got in some "I'm Sorry I Spent All Our Money on Tools" cards. One will be included in every SK Day order. Hope you guys like it.

That is awesome. Can you slip me one when I come visit next week also. Lol

Those are awesome!

What are the $ values for the shirts and other prizes?

 

[boiler7904]

What are the $ values for the shirts and other prizes?

Priceless.

If like last year, they were just added into packages for the first X number of orders and not available for order separately.

Yup, but they were given away when you purchased a certain amount from them. I think last year it was orders over $100 for the shirt, and over $300 for the gloves. The screwdriver and 1/4 flag handle driver were free gifts for all orders from SK and HJE respectively. My order is well over either of those limits ($700+), but I was still curious to know.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Are there any limits for the shirts this year?

I'll be supporting them either way, but it'd be nice to know if my small order will be borderline or not.

Good question. Yes. Shirts will be for orders of $100 or more, while supplies last. Should be working out the design this week, so hopefully I'll have some images soon.

 

[Titanium Steel]

Jori, I am really excited about SK Day. Eight more days. With the design, if I may, this would be awesome if this shirt included Epstein's name in this. For me, I am quite proud to support Epstein's, so that is why that would be a major plus.

 

[bob_the_builder]

Has any Canadian's purchased from Epstein's. I was just wondering what the shipping costs have been and if you were hit with any surprise broker/import fees?

Gotcha! Thanks for the quick response Jori.

Not sure I'll be able to swing the $100, but I'll still be participating regardless.

 

[pstemari]

Looks good but just one question on two items:

86017 Set Wr CB Ln FlPl Fr 13Pc
86127 Set Wr CB Ln FlPl 6Pt Mt 13Pc

The fractional set is 12point and the metric set is 6point on the box end of the combo wrench.

Was this purposeful?
...

Well, if you buy both sets, and you're as compulsive as I am, you'll feel compelled to also buy the 6pt fractional and the 12pt metric, just for completeness

 

[buba]

Just downloaded the SK PDF catalog. Salivary gland function is now at an elevated level.

Just remember the warnings. If it lasts more than 4 hours, you should consult your doctor.

You should request an actual catalog. It's almost orgasmic.

 

[tshetter]

Oh I wish I could....The equipment I work on is all metric so no need for the fractional sets.

As of now in my basket I have:

12 PC 12 POINT METRIC LONG PATTERN COMBINATION WRENCH SET
SKU: SK86040
$155.80

19 PIECE 3/8" DRIVE 6 POINT STANDARD METRIC SOCKET SET
SKU: SK3919
$98.00

4 PIECE 3/8" DRIVE SUPERKROME? EXTENSION SET
SKU: SK4514
$40.60

3/8" DRIVE ARMSTRONG AEROSPACE RATCHET - 88 TOOTH
SKU: 11-992
$38.00

GRAND TOTAL $332.40

Some people here have had good things to say about the Armstrong ratchet so I am going to give it a try. My go-to ratchet now is a Snap-On F80.

I just got a bunch of Wera screw drivers, a few NWS electrical pliers and wire strippers and three Knipex snap-ring pliers in the mail last night...all of that was around $250. Getting expensive.

Not sure what else I want to add to this list. There is probably more though.

I could use some metric long and short hex bit sockets...hmmm

Suggestions?

 

[Askme42]

Hey Jori do you all have 1/2 or 1/4 88 tooth rebuild kits yet for the Armstrong?

 

[priceman1414]

Just for clarification, any new stock SK tools have a discount on them, and then certain select items (listed on previous pages) get 10% off on top of that?

Is it the same as last year, 20% for open stock and 5% off for kits?

Not how I read it - It is 10% off the items on the list below.

So I've talked with SK and they are excited to have another SK Day this Fall.

Let's shoot for the last weekend in October (Friday 30th, Saturday 31st, Sunday 1st).

For all you bargain seekers, SK has said that there will be 20-30 products that we can get an additional 10% off.

We'll figure out later what those 20-30 products are going to be. All suggestions are welcome.

So here's the list of the discounted items (10% off on SK Day) that we've pieced together.

Hopefully it is helpful for you guys.

[shamrock12]

Hmm, good question. The keyword I see here is "an additional 10% off" so it's quite possible that there might be across the board discount like last year with certain selected items having this additional discount. Don't take my word for it though.

So priceman1414's question is quite legitimate, and we should ask for further clarification from Jori.

 

[jsackin]

Hey Jori do you all have 1/2 or 1/4 88 tooth rebuild kits yet for the Armstrong?

As many of you may know, Armstrong has moved their manufacturing facility and it is extremely hard to get product from them right now. They are telling us the end of November on the flex head 88 tooth ratchets. Not sure about the rebuild kits, but I assume it will be the same.

Just for clarification, any new stock SK tools have a discount on them, and then certain select items (listed on previous pages) get 10% off on top of that?

Is it the same as last year, 20% for open stock and 5% off for kits?

Not like last year. It is 10% off the items listed. Just to clear up any confusion, I'll be posting an extensive list of everything that everyone needs to know for SK Day on Monday. This will include pics of the t-shirt, a list of the freebies, and other info.

 

[Askme42]

Well I was just on sk Facebook page and it looks like they have started or will soon be shipping the ratcheting wrenches.

 

[RH2]

Not sure if it's too late, but would you consider discounting the 91824 1/4-Inch Drive Semi-Deep Socket Set, 24-Piece? As someone who likes semi deep sockets by default, this looks like a great little set that most places don't carry. And those that do, charge very close to the larger sets!

 

[Fedwrench]

Well I was just on sk Facebook page and it looks like they have started or will soon be shipping the ratcheting wrenches.

Nope!!!

I too saw that SK propaganda post and called SK customer service to inquire about the metric X Frames that were supposed to be available back in April. The woman on the other end of the phone said they were still not available and did not even have an availability date.
At least I'll be able to vent on the people manning the SK booth at the SEMA show in another week.

Yeah I can respect trying to get it right but holy cow. Gonna be a year after planned release.

And don't go posting pics of packaged sets on your Facebook page.

 

[BikerDad]

These came in today.

man, put a big cork head on that thing and you can drive any fairway in the world!

 

[4x4gearhead]

I want one of those xxl 36" 3/4 breaker bars in the worst way. Do you have a price on one? Pre 10% is fine.

Oh well. I was just going to get new some open stock items. I was thinking about getting a few of the SK semi deep impact sockets, since I don't own any semi deeps or impacts, just take care of both at once.

I will probably still buy some though ,

 

[justme-]

I'm in the market for some impact sockets so I'm putting off the purchase (which was going to be from them anyway) until the day and I'll likely grab a few other items as well.
I appreciate what is going in to this just as last year...maybe I'll add something between now and then.

Same here, I am eye balling the sk4080 semi deep impact metric set.

The power banks are really nice. I got one July 4th with my Epstein day order.
