We are still trying to keep up with the huge influx of orders! We're running about two weeks behind right now. I hope to get caught up in the next week or so. We like to get things out the same day but that just hasn't been possible with how much you guys seem to love tools. If you're in a big hurry, contact us and we will see what we can do for you. - 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.)
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.
Excellent value, good selection and a website that’s easy to navigate. What more could an old guy ask for?

An excellent hammer
When it comes to whacking nails, accept no substitute! Hickory handle! Powder coated hammer! swings nicely! Only whacked my thumb twice, but I wasn't wearing my glasses at the time, so can't really blame the hammer. This is my second Grayvik hammer and this is just a fine as the first. Buy two...your loved ones will thank you.

Amazing quality
I work on a LOT of vintage Japanese cars so I need a good bunch of JIS screwdrivers. I already have many other Vessel, but I've ogled the wood-handled ones for quite a while. When they showed on HJE I decided to splurge. The pictures don't do justice to the amazing finish on these, and adding the obvious that they're a thru-tang with a capped end so I can (gently) hammer into rusty screws to get a proper bite. Handles are slightly oversized for a good, solid grip. Simply terrific. It's like buying Toyota factory screwdrivers from 60 years ago, only better.
Nobody else makes these retro-kool quality JIS screwdrivers anymore, so get 'em while you can.

Nice Pliers
the 250th anniversary pliers are very nice, heavy duty and should last.

Handy tool
I've burned wood for heat since I boy. This tool is as handy as it gets. The straight 28 inch handle providing multi grip locations and utility. From log reduction to firewood stacking, this is the correct tool. And, it's made in the USA.

Great tool better Deal
Tool was in great condition like new. $60 cheaper than I could find it anywhere else. Shopped for this for the last 6 months couldn’t find under $90. Love PEC quality and highly recommend blemished from Harry J. Epstein Co.

Excellent value..excellent quality
What can you say about vessel that hasn't already been said. The quality, value, reputation, its all been said and its all true. I own snap-on,whitte,ktc,and, many other brands. But vessel screwdrivers imo are the best hands down.
