The official HJE ball cap. Made right here in Kansas City by Sandlot out of navy melton wool. Green underbill. Adjustable snap back. These hats are 100% USA made.
We're often asked for recommendations on a wide variety of KC related things so we thought we'd put a list together of other KC companies we like and recommend on a regular basis. I'm sure it will grow but this is a start.
Just got these, they're 6.5" overall length. They fell very well made. Another great value from HJE!

Flexible, skinny, precise. Makes me jealous.
There was once a time when I too was skinny, flexible and able to move with amazing precision. Now reaching for the ibuprofen has become a Greek comedy of joint popping and blue language.
Counting the stars in the Pleiades used to be a test for good vision, the more stars a person could count, the better their vision, or something like that. Then some guy from ancient Rome named Wiseassicus nicknamed them the Seven Sisters and spoiled it for everyone.
The new test is to count the 1/100th lines on this ruler, err, machinist scale. I’m pretty sure no one will be able to ChatGPT their way through that test.
College Freshmen will hate it, you will love it. Buy one for each of your kids and have them count the lines when they reach 30 and Rejoice in the schadenfreude.

It's a ruler. For machinists with better eyes than mine.
This ruler proved without a shadow of a doubt that my eyes are kaput. Have you ever tried to count lines 1/50th of an inch apart after the age of 30? I can't recommend it. Unlike this ruler which is a fine bit of UK manufacturing from a company even more kaput than my eyes. A pity really, as they made a darn fine ruler.

Beast of a splitting axe!
This axe is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something to fit between my 8 pound splitting mauls and my lighter weight axes. This is proved to be just a ticket. It has worked really well on knotty Douglas fir. The quality is good, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a heavy splitting ax.

Amazing axe.
My first dedicated chopping axe. Sharpened the edge a little filing on the secondary level and some sanding on the phantom bevels and this thing is a monster. I bucked an oak branch and it was popping of good sized peices.

Great quality pliers
I stumbled upon one of their reels on Facebook and then took the deep dive on their page. That in turn took me to their website and it’s awesome! I would love to be closer so I could attend a pancake breakfast, but I’m a few states away. As for the pliers… fantastic! Happy 250th, America!
