Nice clean up DJ! I hate that people treat their tools so bad but i enjoy finding them that way because i love a good challenge. Sometimes they can be saved and sometimes they can't. Nicely done
Great job! Some time ago I picked up a Champion Plug Master ratchet in similar condition. I was able to free the mechanism and clean the body with a wire wheel and hand sanding as I don't have any buffers/polishers. The head is floppy as the fork is spread and the pivot pin stretched. That could be fixed on a hydraulic press. It is a serviceable ratchet with a smooth mechanism. I have a soft spot for New Britain Machine Co made Kilness patent ratchets. The smoothness of the Kilness mechanism is comparable, if not better, than many modern high tooth count ratchets.
You really do not need all the wheels and polishers that I have, I like that you can clean tool with very little and have a great tool for little of nothing! and I do like the older New Britain tools some of them have a good look to them!!!!
You need to get the stuff to nickle plate some of your projects, it'll retain the character while protecting the surface, the materials are cheap. The pivot pins are a pain to make, usually trying to find a high enough grade material that will hold up
Long-time sub. Always enjoy watching you take an old tool most people would just throw away and turn it into "a good, usable tool". I know you use Mobil 1 grease but I cannot find where you identify the EXACT grease that you use. Would you mind providing that, please? I tried to email you directly but could not get the address to show so I apologize for using the comments to reach out.
amzn.to/4hfwnGl This is the link to Amazon, If you want to see the cartridge on a video last week it is named Shop tour & Answering Questions at the 29.00 mark you can see the tube, hope this helps, and thanks for watching, sorry for the delay in my response, I work a lot!!!!!!
@djstoolrestorations Thank you, sir; I just flat missed the cameo of the cartridge. Must have went for coffee or something. Thank you, again, and looking forward to the next video.
Try using a glass jar filled with gasoline. Put the parts in the jar leaving it open then place in the basket. If you’re hesitant then try Pine Sol or CLR.

I do like cheap good tools, I like to see how they come out!!!!!!!!
Great clean up.
Thank you, sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicely done sir. I love your respect for tools and see the value under the rust.
Thank you very much!

I have thought about but have not taken that step yet, I need to change up a work bench for a little more room and then try!

@@The_Wood You are welcome, ask questions anytime!!!!!!!!
After seeing how dirty that rachet was and how much time you spent cleaning it do you think an ultrasonic cleaner might help you out?
I do have an Ultrasonic cleaner, but I have not found a good solvent or cleaner that works well, do you have any ideas?????!!!!!!!
