Old rusty squeeze lighter restoration. Got FOOLED on ebay
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2019
- I bought this rusty vintage Imco safety lighter on ebay. It was sold with the heavy wear and mention that flint needs changing but NO pictures or mention of the destroyed of the screw, which made it impossible for an average person to change it. I'm sure they knew what they were selling to me but I can't really complain since it made the project much more interesting. Also check out my new Instagram, I'll start posting there soon / odd.tinkering
I first tried to unscrew the stuck screw but it was stuck too hard and because it was made of aluminium, the screw just broke. I decided to drill a hole trough. A this point I still tried to hammer is a torx head and unscrew it for one last time but this was useless. I used the torx bit and some other screw driver bit to literally just dog out all the aluminum. It was a slow process. I spent one night just removing the screw. Eventually I got everything out. When using this drilling method it is important to be able to drill in the very middle of the screw to not damage the thread
Besides the usual disassembly, rust removal, and polishing, I changed the aluminium rivets and screw to brass ones. I've seen this made with brass parts too.This could be maybe WWII era version when they probably did changes to the materials. All the ones with brass rivets I found had brass screw on the bottom too. The original lighter was most likely nickel plated so I did that too. I tested it by wetting the parts and no rust appeared. I didn't want to make the video any longer so I am not explaining the electroplating process in detail. You can find some great tutorials here on TH-cam if you are interested. I used a Zippo screw and spring because it was a perfect fit and these lighter were sold with brass screws too. Finding/making a new aluminium screw for it would have been a mistake because then someone else would have to drill it open again in the future.
Thanks for watching. Leave any comments bellow and use the like and dislike buttons as you please. And remember, sharing is caring it really helps a lot with spreading the video and supporting my channel.

you should send a pic to the seller and say something like "Came in great shape! Thanks for the buy!"
ugh that would be hilarious
Lmao, that would be great
He got pissed
the seller is just happy he duped a customer lol
You’re a bloody genius mate
Omfg Lmfao
In all honesty this is a really great video
No music
No voice over
Just a man fixing a lighter, with some snazzy editing
C dub those were the good old TH-cam days
Lol this editing it’s honestly kinda bad
@@holdensoderstrom6495 F
It also has a touch of click bait
Holden Soderstrom its not bad just simple
I swear my Dentist uses the exact same tools as you
coolbro233 this deserved more likes. I think that every time I watch his videos 😂 dentist tools make me cringe.
If it’s the one at 1:19 you need to go to a better dentist.
Your teeth are nickel plated?
where do you think he gets his supplies!?!?
dentist here. and that's correct. ours are just smaller and fuckin expensive lol
I could never keep that in my pocket as I’m an anxious fidgeter.
“Hey, you feeling alright?”
“I’m fine, why?”
“You’re lying, I can tell.” 🔥👖🔥
I felt that.
Liar liar, pants (literally) on fire
I felt that

Soon I will start my reverse restoration channel. I take recently fixed items and return them to their tetanus-ridden-rusty conditions.
Why not new stuff and make it look ancient?
That will take a long time.
It should just be called, old stuff i owned for a long time.
Odd Tinkering THAT’S GENIUS!
Tetanus has nothing to do with rust. Tetanus is a bacterial infection. The reason we associate Tetanus with rust is because bacteria covers something like a rusty nail, which when stepped on drives the bacteria into your foot.
@@cbalan777 ok doctor
This wasnt anything i have interest in; however, your style of video got me! No dumb music. No constant voiceover. Just you working on the lighter. I really liked being able to read the information so i still knew whatbwad going on. Loved it and watched the whole video. Great job on the lighter as well.
Yes! It was interesting, fun to watch, quirky and a little funny, and blessedly without music. I really enjoyed it.
Does this count as ASMR?

@@stupidhorse69 My mistake.
@@angelcampos4547 he definitely made back what he paid tho
To improve lighter performance, sometimes it helps to stretch the flint spring a little so that the spring pushes harder on the flint. Also, sometimes it helps to frey the top of the wick.
Great video!
So glad you saved the pattern on the side. When I saw that while it was rusty I almost cried. It is such a beautiful piece.

I work on guitars in my spare time when I'm not busy breaking them from playing all night and I just have to say that the Dremel is the greatest tool ever invented
It's great if you know how to use one. On the other hand it's the single tool I've seen people use to screw something completely up that would have been easy to fix.
No rust, missing parts,...... can stop u. To make ones garbage into treasure.... AMAZING!!! Your videos are so addicting!! To see the beauty of once was...LUV IT!!!👏👏👏
