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.)
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.
I’m extremely happy with my 12” 4R PEC combination square.
After trying a couple of other brands, I decided to give PEC a shot — especially after learning about the excellent blem deal that Harry J. Epstein offers. I couldn’t be happier with the result.
The square is dead accurate, the rule glides smoothly in the head, and the tool just feels great in the hand. Everything about it feels solid and well made.
As advertised, there are a few light grind marks from the blem process, but honestly I kind of like them. They give the tool a bit of personality and make me less hesitant to actually use it. It already feels “broken in,” so I’m not worried about putting the first scratch on a pristine tool.
Went back and fourth on wether to purchase this is something more expensive. I couldn’t be happier with the product. It is more robust than I expected and dead on accurate after doing multiple line test. Cannot beat the value buying blemished. The minor scratched out branding doesn’t affect the product. Shipping and processing was fast. Do yourself a favor and get the best tool you’ll buy for your shop.
HJE leather knife Sheath..👍🏼
Little linseed oil applied to tone leather along with coat of 🐝 wax will outlast me..
My opinion leather knife sheath feels better on belt than plastic …😉
These squares are hefty and machined to precision. I bought a blemished square and it had a scratch in the middle of the blade but not on the edges where it would make contact with the material you are using the square on. It is a great combination square and well worth what they are asking for it. Most importantly, the square is actually "square". I would definitely buy a blemished one again if I needed to.
Customer Service: Good (quick processing, quick shipping, no issues)
Product Quality: Good (just as expected, no issues)
Value: Good (best price I could find for this product and still great quality and customer service. No issues)
Will be buying the product and using this company again.
