Amazing! What a transformation. Bravo for the care taken in this restoration. Hours spent but an even more beautiful tool than the original. Congratulations.
Saving to watch later because I like old tools & enjoying seeing them go from rust to ravishing. As a general guideline, not a hard-and-fast rule an object is an antique when over 100yrs old, Cars being the exception. Thanks.
I have seen many repair videos but I have not seen works where the fine details in this video are done... You can repair even the finest mechanical watches, I have no doubt... I congratulate you.
I'm glad you liked the restoration and found the rubber spray paint interesting. I only removed the casting marks that were over on the wrench. I will try to do better in my next project.
If you ever used that wrench in the field you would realize how silly it all is; That is for removing the studs on flanged pipe fittings. Initially we used something known as "knocker wrenches" to loosen the nuts on the studs on a flange. Then this type of wrench to remove the stud-nuts. Depending upon the flange there may be from sixteen to thirty-two of these studs. Also, in the kit that you carried in your truck there was an assortment of sockets to fit the different sized nuts. It was a convenient tool for removing and then re-installing the nuts. Usually we wire wheeled the threads on the studs and squirted some penetrating oil on them before we got started. Usually this was in an oil field, refinery or terminal where we had to take apart process equipment with some regularity. It is still sold by several different manufacturers. Still, a thumbs-up on your clean up and repaint. A worker who showed up with such a pretty wrench would get teased merciliessly.
Thank you for sharing your insights! It’s great to hear from someone with hands-on experience in the field. Your detailed explanation about using knocker wrenches and managing studs is really valuable. I'm glad you liked it😊
It's fascinating seeing such old tools restored. It's pretty clear that this was a cheaply made wrench (sand cast with virtually no clean up & the inside of the hexagonal socket wasn't precision finished) designed for a particular nut / bolt. Do you know what its original purpose was? (It seems close to truck lug nuts, but they need to be precisely torqued.) BTW - It's great to see someone who works with tools taking proper care of their hands. (You wouldn't believe the messed-up injuries I've seen on the hands of people who didn't bother.) You've even got specialised gloves for different purposes (eg: wire brushing vs polishing), something I wouldn't mind learning more about, actually.
Buen trabajo,pero en lo particular,si hubieses sacado el cromo a la pieza completa y dado una mejor terminación con el pulido en vez de pintar queda mejor el trabajo
Maybe the polished surfaces should have been nickel plated? Otherwise, this instrument would have to be kept in a museum display case to prevent the unprotected steel from rusting. But that's just nitpicking, very good work, of course. My Like for your video.
There were a number of American companies that made ratchets identical to that in the early 20th century. Lowell and Greene Tweed& co. Made almost identical tools to yours. But I believe Hale was a company out of Hale MI. I could be wrong and it could be a UK version though
Obviously a specialty tool for a piece of equipment as the head is not interchangeable. I can hear the boss now "Go get me the big blue wrench, with the socket on the end. We gotta fix this thing"😊
Are you from Pakistan? if yes then can you tell me name of following things and where can i find them? 1: Spray Primer you used before paint. 2: The rubber Paint. 3: that Blueing solution what's it's called? Thank you awesome restoration.
Me hubiera gustado una cromada al dado haciendolo mas moderno y actualizado ademas de darle el contenido del sustrato k desbasto con el cepillo alambre y el desgaste quimica del vinagre !!
I like the tweezers. And finally someone who lets rusty items soak in the vinegar longer than 5 minutes and let it work! Very nice.
I appreciate you feedback.
Thank you so much 😃
muriatic acid from the hardware store that takes five minutes. works great! Just make sure you’re neutralize after
Says the ppl who are not doing a video. It’s called good entertainment
What an incredible restoration! Seeing this 80-year-old antique hex ratchet brought back to life is truly impressive. Great work!
The tweezers are just fine, great way to show before & after with smaller parts 👍👍 Great Job !!!
Yes this makes sense to me thanks
I enjoy big time watching the restoration
It is very interesting to see old things become new.
2:48 I use vinegar with salt, even more effective! Great restoration!
Vinegar and salt I’ll need to test that out
Good work amazing
Now that's nice!
😄👍 se eu lhe disser...ficou bom,estou sendo injusto portanto ... digo ficou pra lá de ótimo ! Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho mestre 😄👍👍👍
Amazing! What a transformation. Bravo for the care taken in this restoration. Hours spent but an even more beautiful tool than the original. Congratulations.

WOW! Fantastic. I love it! Greetings from southern Alberta.

Excelente trabajo de reparación un verdadero arte
Today I learned rubber spray paint is a thing. Amazing job on the restoration as always.
I'm glad you liked it 😊
Beautiful restoration job I must say. That reversible ratchet wrench looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much ☺️
Agreed
Never saw a ratchet like that before! Beautiful job on restoring it! Looks much better than when it was new, I bet! :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the restoration. It really does look even better than new! :)
Im an electrician and we use this tool as a portable threader for conduit.
EPIC ... quite astonishing, better than NEW!
😊
Well done my friend, from, Bayamo, Cuba

Nice job. I particularly appreciate your telling the materials you used.

bravo beau travail merci du partage !
I agree totally
You are a very patient person. I would only let it soak for 8 days if I forgot about it lol
@@musicalcomputernerd6474 I had a very important job, due to which I had to keep this ratchet in vinegar for 8 days.
I have seen many repair videos but I have not seen works where the fine details in this video are done... You can repair even the finest mechanical watches, I have no doubt... I congratulate you.
😅 Then you've not watched channels called My Mechanics

Lovely restoration, really enjoying your type of videos! Keep up the good work man 🤝👍🏻

Thank you so much 😃
Awesome restoration, rubber spray was new for me. Consider doing more on removing casting marks. Satisfying work!
I'm glad you liked the restoration and found the rubber spray paint interesting. I only removed the casting marks that were over on the wrench. I will try to do better in my next project.
Why?
That looks like a racheting pipe threading wrench great job on restoring the wrench ,it looks new!

😮 está hermoso como sugerencia me gustaría que le pusiera un mando eso siento que le daría un plus
Esta genial tu trabajó
Very good!

Thank you so much 😊
Never use gloves on spinning machines: better get light injuried then loose the whole hand.
As someone who lost a finger in a table saw because of wearing gloves... can confirm.
Bardzo super jest to odrestaurowany Pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dziękuję bardzo
I think you do Awsome work, don’t mind the haters making jokes.
Looks like a crankshart turning tool for cars.
Nice work.
Thank you so much 😊
Good job!
Thank you so much 😊
Why use plyers when you have a socket to turn the head? You could have damaged the roundness was it smaller and more frail...
PERFEITO!
Fico feliz que tenha gostado 😊
Great restoration job,what was the liquid used to soften the rust ?
I'm glad you liked it.☺️
Vinegar
Restauraras esa Stillson también 😅
😄
Marvellous indeed
Thank you so much 😊
Just one suggestion. Lower the black on where the handle meets the blue. Roughly 1"? Otherwise, great job.
Sangat menyukai ini ❤❤❤
terima kasih banyak 😊
Debería metalizar la llave, un buen trabajo
☺️
Looks great, I would like it more if you had did it red and black
I'm glad you liked it. I'll definitely consider your suggestion for red and black in the next project!

Great video
The size of the hex?
Thank you so much 😊
Hex inner side size 6¾
Отлично! А почему смазка жидкая а не консистентная?
Very good
Thank you so much 😊
Buen trabajo,pero en lo particular,si hubieses sacado el cromo a la pieza completa y dado una mejor terminación con el pulido en vez de pintar queda mejor el trabajo
Beautiful work - are other sized sockets available or is it a dedicated tool?
I'm glad you liked it ☺️
There are other sockets for this ratchet, but I didn't get them with this one.
Muito bem feito.parabens .eu também faço assim. Genison brasil
Obrigado por suas palavras gentis! É ótimo ouvir que você faz o mesmo. Felicidades
Nice job but you definitely need a lathe 😊
You said right 🥹
Maybe the polished surfaces should have been nickel plated? Otherwise, this instrument would have to be kept in a museum display case to prevent the unprotected steel from rusting.
But that's just nitpicking, very good work, of course. My Like for your video.
Nickel plating is indeed a great for enhancing durability. I appreciate your support and are glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
I have some doubts. 1. How it is possible to get so much mud after vinegar bath? 2. Why there is no trace of black iron acetate?
Read Chemistry For Dummies 😊
Great job! Whats the name of that toolsset at the beginning?
I'm glad you liked it ☺️
Tool set name👇
Hardened Claw Nail Double Headed Pry Bar tool set
There were a number of American companies that made ratchets identical to that in the early 20th century. Lowell and Greene Tweed& co. Made almost identical tools to yours. But I believe Hale was a company out of Hale MI. I could be wrong and it could be a UK version though
Great Job, so many opinions on your work sheesh. Well done.
I'm glad you liked it 😊
I found the WD-40 as a good lubricant.PB blaster is a penetrant and works alot better
Thank you very much for your advice
Ручка черная это чтоб руки 100% черными были после работы с инструментом, типа если не вымазался - не работал?
The ruber pain? t when do you buy it folk? Very good job
It's been over a month I bought the rubber paint. I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you so much 😊
Where do you get the rubber spray, looks good
I bought the rubber spray from an online store
Perfeito
Bravo
Thank you so much😊
Top🎉🎉🎉
Obviously a specialty tool for a piece of equipment as the head is not interchangeable. I can hear the boss now "Go get me the big blue wrench, with the socket on the end. We gotta fix this thing"😊
Looks like a pipe threader with a socket head in it, pretty cool , never seen that before.
11:35 Jesus Christ I wasn’t expecting that! Some anti-asmr right there 😖😣😫
You are right, I will try in the next video so it doesn't happen.
Tell me tools for restoration also method of making something rusted
That wrench is for a water heater element.
No
хороший инструмент
Are you from Pakistan?
if yes then can you tell me name of following things and where can i find them?
1: Spray Primer you used before paint.
2: The rubber Paint.
3: that Blueing solution what's it's called?
Thank you awesome restoration.
I'm glad you liked it 😊
You will get the stuff from the daraz
@@AyazRestoration Thanks a lot for Answer.
It looks like this ratchet is meant to be re-socketed in different sizes - did you get any other sockets with it?
Yes, there must be different size sockets with this ratchet. But I didn't get it.
Me hubiera gustado una cromada al dado haciendolo mas moderno y actualizado ademas de darle el contenido del sustrato k desbasto con el cepillo alambre y el desgaste quimica del vinagre !!
