We got absolutely slammed for our big fourth of July sale and are packing our little hearts out trying to keep up, so if you're wondering where your order is or why we haven't been as speedy getting things out - this is why. If you're in a rush and need us to get the lead out, please email or call and we will try to oblige. Thank you. - The Management
Check out the resurrected Epstein's Customer Hall of Fame. It's been a while since we've accepted new members but maybe it's time we opened the books. (Note: If you'd like to send in an application please be sure to include an appropriate bribe.)

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.
So sad that Martin body tools are going away but so thankful I could get the last couple tools I had to have from them at an amazing discount price!!!

Great tool
It came just in time as it came in very handy to put on my cordless impact driver when I needed to tear apart some equipment I was scraping. May the process much quicker with all the little bolts.

A Nice Sack
A lovely leather sack with a draw string. It was bigger than I expected, but to be fair I didn't actually read the dimensions. Not sure what to use it for now, but it's well made.
Nice and clean, handle spins. Got one for my car. The history for this is cool too.
APCO Mossberg stopped making these in the 1930s, but restarted production for military contracts during WWII using this black oxide finish.

Nice pliars
I ordered 4 of these just to leave around the house / car so people would stop borrowing my "good" ones. I was surprised how nice these are, joints aren't sloppy at all. They actually have a high-polish finish that looks better than the Cee Tee Co. pliers.
1 pair had rust on one jaw bubbling up from under the chrome. I scraped off the loose chrome, left them in my in Evapo-Rust jar overnight, good as new.
For $4 you can't go wrong.

coolest thing I ever got for $28, check out my research
To start, this is not chrome plated. This is a wartime, period-correct, heavy duty clear coat on a very high-polished steel tool. Once cleaned, it looked like it was coated in glass. I don't know what the clear coat is made from, but it resisted my mineral spirit bath to get the grease and grime off. The quality of this piece unprecedented. It also has a socket built into the handle so you can use it as a ratchet extension!
Mine still had the tag tied to it, which allowed me to track this info down. This was made by New Britain for the Cadillac Motor Car Div. during WWII. The part # TKEX2R, is referred to in a US Army supply parts catalog for maintaining the M20 Armored Utility Car!

Red-handled pliers for the basement
An excuse to buy a pair of red handled pliers for another location in the house. They look to be serviceable. Thank you.
