    The reason I like your channel is because you do things with the minimum of tools, no fancy buffing machine just a drill in a vice. This is what encourages people, as they can see things can be done on a budget with a little thought. Most people could do things with a shop full of top machines, however most do not even have a shed to work in.

    Great review, Ty. I have a P&C 10" adj wrench I bought as a teen in the mid 70's. It's been a real work horse through the decades. It's still twisting everything in sight!

    • @357magdad

      Thanks Mark! I really like the Plomb / Proto / P&C ratchet design. It is very simple and easy to service.

  • @speedyspooley

    I really like the two-tone polished/blued look. It's impressive without being flashy. It was also cool to learn the history of what would become Proto tools.

    Beautiful ratchet. New tools are nice but there's just something about the old ones that bring a bit of nostalgia to mind. Don't make them like they used to. 👍🏻

    • @357magdad

    Thats a nice looking socket Wrench Magdad, the transformation before and after the conditioning belts is excellent, something else for my Wishlist ! I have one of those 2" abrasive sets and have found it very useful in my cordless Dremel, I. tend to use it at low RPM as the outside speed of the 2" disc is still pretty high, some reviewers show them with bent spindles but I've not had any problems with them. That was good of Joe to send you the hand vice, really useful for retaining your fingertips/prints and to avoid firing small parts all over the shop. Interesting to have the potted history, thanks for sharing !

    I really enjoyed this restoration. It's very rewarding to bring back an old tool and make it serviceable again. I take it the two small holes under the switch are for oiling the mechanism periodically. I always appreciate the historical context you give your restorations, especially so in this case because PC had its origins 8n my neck of the woods -- the Intermountain west and Pacific northwest.

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was wondering if you found any history on the ratchet.. I was thinking it might have been from the 40's or 50's... The thing I like the best about this ratchet is it has screws, which is great when it comes to disassembly... I used to pack mine with grease and have never had a problem with it.. the newer ratchets with the fine teeth might work better with a light oil... M.D. another fine video, ratchet turned out beautiful... Take care my friend...

    @ihrescue ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice work on the ratchet. I like the right angle sanding head for the Dremel, I will put that in the purchase queue. I think I would rather have a needy steel tool without chrome like this ratchet. You can always clean it and polish it up for maintenance but once the chrome has corrosion through it you then have two surfaces. Not that the tool is any less effective.

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not a big fan of plating either. The nickel over brass is my least favorite. I wish that right angle attachment was better quality for the money.

    Looks better than new. Well done. I love the cold bluing. Adds a nice bit of contrast.
    Nice hand vise. I have a style where the handle tightens on a taper. I am not fond of this design. The thumb screw sticks out on your vise, but it looks like it tightens better than the one I have.
    What was the total for the Thanksgiving auction? I looked on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it seemed a lot of bids and interest in the items.

    Said to say i never seen a P&C Ratchet or any of their Tools and that Ratchet is similar in design as Herbrand Ratchet and you are very correct the handle design on the P&C is far better than the round Knurled design ... Outstanding Job on the Ratchet Restoration Mr Magdad357 and Mr Chuck take care see you and Mr Chuck next Sunday

    • @357magdad

      Thanks Roger. The handle design reminds me of a Crescent wrench.

    If it’s anything like my tools the dark stain at to bottom of the handle was a blob of gasket cement that got spilled onto it in the heat of the battle.

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I went at that stain pretty hard with the wire flinger. I was only able to lighten it a little.

    Great job. Did you have to grease the inside of the wrench’s mechanism? I seem to recall scoutcrafter doing that once.

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I used Super Lube on the mechanism and I oiled the ball detent.

      I hit that spot pretty hard with the wire flinger and it got a little lighter.

    Why do you not put a few drops of penetrating oil on the screws? The whole ratchet was bone dry.

    • @357magdad
      @357magdad  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If the screws gave me trouble I would have tried some heat. I avoid adding oil because I would then have to degrease before wire brushing and soaking in Evapo-Rust.
