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.
The quality of the axe is definitely much higher than what you would find at most big box hardware stores. The handle is very nicely shaped. Its super comfortable and a great soft finish, but the grain and runout could be a bit better on my example. The head is fantastic though, the 2lbs weight is a great in-between that does well splitting bigger wood without being hard to wield one-handed. The hardened poll is a great feature and half the reason I bought this particular hatchet. The bit was pretty dull when I received it, not unusable but needed some work for sure. Doesn't quite seem like it's in the same class as some of the very high-end hatchets but it doesn't feel very far off, especially for being 1/4 the price of something like a gransfors-bruk.

Some bars have the pry edge angles cut wrong. Enderes makes them right! Great tool! Every guy should have a few of them

Cutting pliers
I’m buying these to replace a pair that walked away on me last year. These are my favorite nippers for working with sealing/safety wire. They have great feel to them.

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.
