Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

I sent them an email, also wondering about what the new shipment might have. They don't know yet.

Maybe there's some real treasure!   O:-)

maybe..........i have a few things on my list from the last haul they had. i am pretty sure there are some surprises in there. kind of waiting for the next video to come up. i know there are some things from the first video that have not hit the web yet. one is the little  pipe clamps. everyone  has seen the larger ones but those littler ones intrigue me.

Man the daunting task of inventorying all that gives me anxiety. I might grab an axe or two, those looked nice.

I'm still can't believe Vise-Grip sold out to China in 2008. The new pliers are just too soft. Now WF and Crescent closing too?
I'm glad there are places like Epsteins who buys up old inventory and keeps mechanics supplied.

Problem is, that inventory won't last forever.
Elroy feels sorry for the up and comers who are looking to stock their hand tool inventory with quality USA made tools. At some point NEW USA made tools simply won't be readily available.  :c002:
