1930 Belgian Hammer Drill Restoration - The Coolest Tool You Ever Seen
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video I restored a Belgian Hammer Drill from early 1930s , from the company Rawlplug Mechanical Hammer.
Ever since I saw this tool, I've known that a beautiful restoration video will come out because it's a cool tool , you will see. Enjoy the restoration !
About restoration video :
The restoration process was quite complex because there were many parts to be restored and that lasted a while. I was glad that the wooden parts did not have wormholes and could be easily restored. I decided to restore all the parts and replaced only 3 parts that really needed change. I left a lot of patina on this tool and I think that after the whole restoration, the tool looks awesome. At the end of the restoration I tested it and this tool did its job for which it was designed.
I worked on this restoration video for about a month but it was worth it.
Please consider subscribing if you want not to miss the notifications for my next restoration videos. I love you all and I wish you well until next time.
Hand Powered Masonry Drills
The early hammer drill to the right was sold in the USA by Orr & Lockett Hardware Co. in 1914. The Rawlplug Mechanical Hammer was patented and sold in the UK and manufactured in the UK and Belgium. Another US maker was the Diamond Expansion Bolt Co. of New York City. Their hammer drill was patented by James T. Hoal on 4 August, 1914, U.S. Patent No. 1106306.

Very nice video!! I love it
thank you very much my mechanics😍
How are you here before the video was even uploaded?
My mechanics is everywhere 👍🏻👍🏻🍻
Huh 7:45 "I make a new one" its official!
@@ssumbody6251 probably because of patrion or something similar.

"two shots of vodka"
I personally chug the whole can but you do you
I'll be honest, I'm most impressed that the original wood pieces were still any good, seeing at they'd be around 90 years old at this point.
The handle had some scratches but I was happy the handle wasn’t cracked 🤓
Even dead nature is still nature, the only thing that could last longer would be stone.
Wood strong
@@davemathew2430 we're not in stone age
Probably much older, since production parts can be sitting in several processes. Think like the cutting and treating, to the ordering and production phases, that wood has a chance to have been around for more than 100 years.
When restoring anything never be afraid to just replace washers etc. Those things often get too brittle to use or even clean.

Этот инструмент ещё 100 лет прослужит! Браво мастеру! Спасибо за видео!
Thanks a lot and glad you enjoyed 😊
No annoying background music. Thank you! Great job on the restoration! 🔥
Thanks and I’m glad you liked it Harkirat 👍🏻
dont annoy me at all .........i like it
I agree Harkirat. 👍
I agree. I would mute the video if it had music. But my reasons would probably be different from most people finding it annoying ^_^ haha
It's like mechanical ASMR meets the satisfaction of some latent OCD I never knew I had.
It's like the Bob Ross of restoration, so calming and amazing at the same time.
Thank you very much Ste R 🥰
Not when you put the speed up to 2x then he's the Charlie Sheen of restoration

The only thing needed, is rhythmic singing...
Nailed it.
I love how the restoration channels are constantly complimenting each other
WOW 😮
Never expected a hammer drill at that time 1930
😎😎😎 old stuff last forever
@@CoolAgainRestoration which is exactly why they don't make it like they used to. Planned obsolescence.
@@WaltRBuck Greed is why "they don't make them like they used to." There is more profit in using cheaper materials.
@@Jack-tu5zf That's basically what planned obsolescence is.
after watching so many restoration videos, i came to conclusion that a good restoration is a trying to use as many original components as they could without damaging the goods. this one is definitely one of the best. thank you for this good restoration.
Edit: count me in as your new subscriber
Thank you very much Big Gim. Push on notification and you’ll see only good restoration. I want to make better videos,if this mean to post less often,I prefer quality 👍🏻
*You simply don't get better than that.*
Sensitive to it's history, respecting the materials with precise and beautiful work. A true restoration and not a grotesque pimp job.
Absolutely superb in every way.🧡
Thank you very very much Deena 🥰
its *
I miss when they made everything look artistic, even hand tools
True. Now it’s plastic and cheap
@@CoolAgainRestoration we even have some near perfect condition binoculars from back in 1930 or 1920 from my grandmothers family. But new ones today brzleak after about 4 years
It’s simple back then People wanted quality but now companies realize cheap plastic can make better profit margins for example nerf elite2.0
Like my wrench?
You can always make them yourself or have some make them for you

This is the craziest tattoo gun I've ever seen
The forbidden tattoo gun.
I love the fact that you kept the old look on the metal, the end result is slendid! Almost a shame that you show it so briefly
I dont want to do boring videos 👍🏻
@@CoolAgainRestoration just watched my first video of you 👍🏼✌🏼🤣💙💙 just subbed 💯💯✌🏼👍🏼✌🏼👍🏼 great restoration 💯💯✌🏼👍🏼
Thanks a lot again and again mate 👍🏻
Can you imagine having all the equipment, tools, solutions, materials and ESPECIALLY the knowhow that these people have at hand to make these videos? I'm SO jealous!
Just the level of restoration I like - keeping a degree of patina that you'd expect on a old item like this acts like a badge of authenticity. Nice work! 👍🏻
Thank you very much Michael 😊
I'm pretty sure Ian already made a video about this. He detail stripped it and explained the mechanism.
His wife is gonna be pissed when she sees how much Tupperware he dirtied doing this
😅😅👍🏻

Just stumbled upon this channel and I love how there's no background music just calm atmosphere I'm marathoning your vids now🤣
Glad to hear that buddy. Enjoy 👍🏻and cheers🍻
Yea those vids is perfect to induce sleep XD
Traducción
What language?
Haha sry for commenting 3 months later but TH-cam just recommended this channel a few days ago and I'm also watching them whenever I can.
Interesting, amazing video editing and relaxing. The before and the after of the restored items is amazing!
Finally a good recommendation TH-cam!
it has been a long time since TH-cam reccomended this channel to me.
there are many good restoration channels to watch, but the attention to detail you show and how careful you are to preserve as much as possible, makes it seem like you really care about the result, not just about getting likes and subscriptions.
I worked in a second hand shop for a few years, I had the pleasure of restoring some antiques. To me it isn't about the price something can be sold for, I feel like when something has been used and appreciated for many years, it has a value which has nothing to do with money. This is why when something old becomes worn, neglected or abused, it makes me sad, and if I am able to restore some of its dignity, I feel like the old tool/furniture/toy, etc, says "thank you".
While there are many good restoration channels on TH-cam, some are very entertaining, some are interesting, it is very seldom that I watch a video on TH-cam and feel like something which isn't even alive is saying "thank you".
So in case you don't get that feeling, everything you restore and most of the people watching are extremely grateful.
Oh, thank you very much for this kind words. I really appreciate your comment and this support is the best revenue I can have. Thanks again 🤗🤗🤗
Vmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm0xg
Noice! 4m for 35mm? That's, like, two years to complete a house renovation.. 🤣
Great job on the resto, you've evolved nicely!
Yes,I was surprised how “fast” work 😅 and thanks for appreciation 🥰
Yes. But it is designed for walls
With all the craziness in the world today, does anybody else find these videos relaxing? :)
Me😅
Great video, it brings back memories of sore thumbs, in fact it is aching now.
I remember, in the 70s, using fibre Rawlplugs installed using the hammer-in Rawlplug tool, using the same tip as that, before electric drills. I wish we had known about this tool. We also chewed the fibre rawlplugs so they would grab the hole better and not rotate as we drove in the screw.
Yeah, it is a very clever design and a good tool. We can’t say is not more easy now with modern tools but back then , was more with attitude 👌
I had trouble in the past with watching these kind of videos (mostly those about art and handcrafting), some were too perfect, so perfect that it seemed inhuman, the way they methodologically made everything with such perfection, precision and organization made me uneasy, it was like a robot. But you are not like that my man, I think you show the essential and the interesting of the process with a real human touch, I'm subscribing!
Thank you very much for this kind words Sergio 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I just want to know what the "Super Rust Remover" is 👀
Sand blaster
My guess is a salt and muriatic acid mix. It pulls rust of really fast. (Salt spears up the process, but you have to soak in Baking soda water after to remove it)
Vinegar
This is phosphoric acid. It slightly oily substance.
Leaves surface of metal with grey protective film. If you not wash this film away and let it dry it will be rust protection by it own, overwise it ready for paint.
WD-40
I feel like using that spring loaded socket might end up breaking an old part if you’re not careful.
I dont think so. Almost every metal parts from this hammerdrill was hardening steel
What's more Amazing than the Restoration was your Work Clothes !!! .. A White Hoodie ?? Now That is a Confident and Skilled Craftsman !!!
Thanks a lot Kveld 😊👍
I'm from England & I've seen a few of these over the years & they've always been rusted up & handles damaged, so it's cool to see one restored to working order
True. It’s my favourite video and restored item 😎
What really makes yours stand out is the beautiful video quality, lighting and editing.
Thank you very much Todd! I really appreciate 🙏🏻
What a rather unique piece. Love these old tools. You can see the skill and engineering skills these guys had back then . Sweet job on making it look amazing again
Thanks a lot David 😊
Anyone else randomly stumbled upon this channel and never stopped watching?
🥰
As a belgian im happy that you restored a tool frop my country 😄
Thanks and glad you enjoyed 😊
“You can find this acid in beekeeping stores”
1. I don’t live in world of Warcraft.
2. Why is acid involved in beekeeping.
This acid cure the “house of bee”
Some acid are in animal food to make them hungry
As a beekeeper I’m here to tell you oxalic acid is used as a treatment for varroa mites. I don’t think I’d want to use it for cleaning. 🤣
Someone explain to me why this feels so good to watch.
Relaxing 🥰
Because it's a hoax.
@@Zekevich ???
Man, I'm not sure what I like more about restoration: the process it takes to bring it to its restored condition, or seeing what it might have looked like back when it was originally sold.
Both way are amazing in my opinion 😇
Here is the real work of the restorer, without the hype transformations! This is still not a scientific restoration, but an excellent quality repair, that is, they returned the thing to working capacity and functionality! gracefully
Thanks a lot Nikita 😊
Very nice! I really like that you didn't resurface the metal to make it smooth - I really like the way it looks!
Thank you very much Fred. I really appreciate it 👍🏻🍻
I love the shoutout to “forgotten weapons”
🤩🤩 thanks buddy
Aah, the super socket, best tool attachment anyone can own, thinking about getting one for my grandpa if my grandmother or my mom haven't beat me to it
Yeah, it is handy to have around but I recommend you to buy a quality one. I had cheap ones and it’s a nightmare. Money spent ..
@@CoolAgainRestoration 😔🙏 we will never forget what you lost to cheap products
amazing, it was wonderful.it's to put on the shelf of living salt, things like that will never do the same.
also the quality of the material, and the master's wisdom left this piece so
a big hug
Awesome restoration, awesome videography, and awesome editing! I’d love to own that tool. Thank you! 👏
Thanks for appreciation Primus54 👍🏻👍🏻
Primus54 I was thinking about what to comment, read yours and saw you had already covered my thoughts exactly. Awesome video. Thanks for the upload
Glad you liked Gustav 👍🏻👍🏻
I really like the oxalic acid hack.
Yes,me too. And work very well 👍🏻
Yeah, I was amazed on how this works
PERFECT 👍, very classic look ! not brand new,but like something you'd find in a workman's tool box back in 1930
When I started in the Trade we used Rawlplug concrete anchors.
Didn't know they made a hammer.
Cool video! Great work!
Thank you Jess 👍🏻😎
This is going to be my new favorite channel. I would love to see a video on your shop setup. I am envious of your talent!
Don’t be Marla. Thank you very much for appreciation and I try my best to make things that are nice to watch and very important-to be educative 👍🏻🍻 cheers
Обалдеть. Ударная дрель начала прошлого века. Причем ручная! Даже не знал, что такие вещи были тогда. Спасибо за ролик. Когда Вы так реставрируете вещи, то заодно видите внутреннее устройство и показываете это всем. Я считаю, что это здорово. Простите, что не пишу на английском, боюсь исковеркать язык своим незнанием.
No problem, I translated . Thank you very much and glad you liked it 😊👍
No way only 428k let's get it up to 500...!!!!! I'm binge watching more!!!!!
Thanks a lot Harris 😊👌
This looks to have enormous potential for mayhem, although I'm not sure it's the _coolest_ tool I have ever seen. That honour still belongs to Hand Tool Rescue's Swing Saw of Death.
Yes,also his tool was coolest 👍🏻
It was. . .
"The Model"
That one was a bit scary...
This was very relaxing and wonderfully hypnotic. Something about bringing new life to old things, order to disorder, infusing new use into an old tool that time’s entropic forces were slowly corroding just made it impossible for me not to watch the whole thing to the end. Well done. Great editing rhythm, keeping only the essential. 👍
Thank you very much Thiago 🤗🤗
You are definitely a writer in the response
the sandblaster has a smiley face on the outside! how cute! 10/10 very happy sandblaster
😂😂😂 it was moments when I’m tired in the workshop and when I see that smile on the sand blaster cabinet, I smile instantly 😂

Thanks for that 😎
Simply amazing as always, my heart skipped a beat when I saw the notification. Thank you for making the video and I hope you and your family have a blessed day :)
We are ok now,thank you very much Kinglyhat. Stay safe you too 🥰
Beautiful restoration. Applause for getting those screws out, they easily could have broken or the slot strip out. I was amazed at the condition of the handle. Not even a chip out of it, considering what the tool was used for. I learnt something new from this video, that Rawlplug is proprietary name and company, not generic description of a building component, though it has become that.
Glad you liked it ss and thank you very much 👍🏻
I can spend hours watching your restorations and enjoying a good music :)
Congrats and thank you very much!
Hugs from Brazil.

*"I made this tool to help me peening"*
I had to read that twice :D
there may be some grammatical errors. English is not my native language🤷🏼♂️
@@CoolAgainRestoration I think it was a joke 😁 Google 'peeing''🧡
@@CoolAgainRestoration it’s okay. I prefer watching your channel than some of English/American speaking channel because they talk so much with little restoration content. Keep up your good work and happy new year.
Thanks all who support me. Love you all,happy new year and glad you liked 🥰🍻
@Deena now I saw 😅😅
I really shouldn’t be awake right now. But it’s only 5 AM, it’s not that late right?!
It’s the right time 😅👍🏻
That's me almost everyday!
we don't see these 'kintsugi' style restorations enough. sometimes seeing that a part has a history makes it that much better
This is one of those tools that probably opened the minds of young boys and sat out to invent All kinds of stuff 🤔👍🔧. Thanks for showing this great tool 🔧
Glad you liked it 😊 thanks
Ah yes let me just run down to my local beekeeping store and grab some of that acid. My only problem will be choosing between the 6 local shoppes!
3:30 They should have removable plastic/rubber teeth for vise grips so you don't have to tape it to not "bite" into the metal.
If you type "soft vise jaws" into your search bar, you'll find a range of products with various shapes and attachments for exactly that purpose.
Ok guys,I bought yet. Thanks 👍🏻🍻
@@CoolAgainRestoration No problem!
TH-cam premium is worth it😌 I go from video to video seemlessly. Now I can watch restoration videos without interruption
"You can find this at any beekeeping store" Ah yes just gonna go to me local beekeeping store cuz I know where that is😂 Side note the project looks amazing and I'm so glad you kept the original wood, it looks great!
Thank you very much and glad you liked it 🤗
Operation sounds like something Ian would review on forgotten weapons lol

16 min. of Zen. Watching a master craftsman is so satisfying.
Glad to hear that 🤗
I love it when you see any parts that would not fit to use anymore, you create a duplicate of the part instead of trying hard clean it up wasting energy and the result is going to be minimum.
Great work of a restoration sir!
Thanks Nicholas and glad you like it 👍🏻🍻😇
Мне кажется он сам сначала все это в луже хранит, что бы потом восстановить.
Достаточно попшикать солёным раствором
Если в лужу положишь - сразу украдёт другой блогер
пришлите мне адрес электронной почты, чтобы показать вам, как выглядит продукт, когда я его купил -> в точно такой же форме и положении. если бы вы были осторожны, вы бы увидели, что он тоже ржавый внутри, плюс вы можете сравнить возраст дерева с возрастом металла. и прежде всего вы видели, что в металле были дыры. эти дыры от ржавчины, которая за долгие годы съела металл.
Another awesome restoration, or in this case, a "rustoration" as we call it here in the States! It's cool that you try to maintain the original overall of the project. Great job, and thanks for sharing! Rev. D.
Thanks for watching and i’m glad that you liked my friend 🙏🏻🍻🥰 I try my best every time
@@CoolAgainRestoration And you prove that every time brother. :) Be well, stay safe and God bless. Rev. D.
Excellent Restoration, I love the way these old mechanical tools used to work, Nice job on removing the stains from the handle. Regards Brian
Thanks Brian 😊 cheers 🍻
You can just tell that whoever made this the first go around did a wonderful job and took pride in their craftsmanship because with how easily it was to restore
Yes,they was brilliant mind 🤩
Dang, I never expected to see anyone actually using one of those wrench thingies... I have been seeing ads for them so fuckin often, and the acting in the ads is utter shit 😂 but the product itself is pretty neat. Tho I do wonder how durable the pins in it are...
I use them from 5 months and looks good yet. I think depends by the manufacturer
You are not a true mechanic without an AvE decal. Nice to see them in your workshop. Keep up the awesome work you do!
Thank you very much but what is AvE?
I love the patina on the metallic surfaces. Looks badass
Thanks Ismael 👍🏻😎
What a remarkable tool and beautifully restored. You're an artist, David. Thank you.
Thanks again Mark 😊
When it’s restored and you tested it, it sounds like one of those hand cranked Gatling guns from the 40’s

I've seen & used the later manual tools they made & sold - but never this design. But it looks impressively effective.
A wonderful restoration. So much to learn from this.

A real pleasure watching a master of his craft at work. Also amazes me what kind of tools and gadgets they made back in the day before computers and a widespread electrical grid.
