Hmmmm. Didn’t have my camera so I couldn’t properly document this one, but I think you get the idea.
Note: If you have no idea what this is, we here at Epstein’s will draw anything on a box that you ask us to. There is a little “comments” box and all you have to do is fill it out when you place your order.
We sell a ton of Opinel knives, so I had our friend at Leatherworks make up this nice leather knife sheath to fit the #7 and the #8 Opinel. Made right here in Missouri. We sell them individually or we are throwing them in for free if you buy a number of different opinel knives. Just look for the knives with the knife sheath in the picture.
German made ergo folding cart. 880 lb capacity. Handle folds down. 2 fixed and 2 swivel non marking solid rubber wheels w/ roller bearings. Beechwood platform. Easily folds down with kick release. I can fold this thing up and fit it in the back of my hatchback. Really nicely made.
Steel ergo hand truck. Made in Germany by Braucke Bielefeld. 440 lb capacity. 46 1/2″ high x 21″ deep, 18″ wide. 10″ pneumatic tires. Feels very lightweight. Thought it was made out of aluminum the first time I picked it up. Looks strong though. I like the extra length on the blade and the grips are especially comfortable.
So I’m going to stop telling you guys what the customer requested, so you can guess the request. I think this one turned out pretty good. I had to take it home and finish it, so the pictures here are on my back deck.

Just bought a decent amount of these German made folding carts. More details to follow. Will probably get these online on Monday.

We also got a deal on these German made hand trucks. Nice handles!
Whenever I hear a commentator on television talk about the internet, there is always this overriding message that technology is isolating us, that it is fragmenting relationships, and that if we all continue down this path, we will eventually end up alone in a room with just our computer. Well, *$@ those guys. What do they know. I just drew a picture of two hammers fighting to the death for my friend Jeff who I’ve never even met before. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about you might check out the other box art requests.) I talk to guys all over the world about American made tools. We are just a small tool store in downtown Kansas City and we have regular customers in Thailand! THAILAND!
Ok. Ok. I just had a little too much coffee. Moving on. I would like to reiterate that if you place an order that you to can request “box art”. No extra charge. Just be sure when you receive the package to hang the picture in your living room above the fireplace and stare at it every night. Besides that, it’s completely free!





So we got this deal on Gross Stabil clamps awhile ago, and it’s sold reasonably well, but we are getting a little tired of seeing all these clamps in our basement, so I marked down most everything we have in our inventory. If you are looking for a great quality German made heavy duty clamp, then today just might be the day to get one.

Had a regular customer come in today and took some pics of his car. He’s a mechanic and has a collection, but this one is particularly nice.





Had a customer request that I draw a “cock fight” on his box. Well, here it is.









So it was a slow day.
