1891 German ''Weltrekord'' Ratchet Screwdriver - Restoration

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2020
  • It was around three months ago when I visited my friend that works at the steel waste. He made an amazing found. He found multible items that were in a very rough condition. They almost had some kind of concrete on them and a lot of heavy rust. This little screwdriver got my attention right away. It was not clearly visible what the function of it was, but I remember that I thought it might be some kind of ratchet mechanism. At home I posted a few pics of it in my Instagram story. It didn't took long for @hand tool rescue to reply, as he has the same screwdriver, just a slightly modern version of it, but similar mechanism. After some research I found some more pics and videos online. The brand is „Weltrekord“ made in Germany and it's called „Hebelschraubenzieher“ which meas „lever scredriver“. The model I found was the first ever designed one from 1891. Weltrekord later made some small changes on the design. Newer ones have a small collet to clamp the insert bits and even newer ones came with plastic handles instead of wood.
    At first I thought this will be a quick straight forward restoration project. It turned out to be a very tricky one. The most difficult part was definitely the disassembly, it took me three full days to get it in pieces. Heavy rust has done so much damage to all of the parts. Unfortunately the handle cracked when I removed it. I tried to restore it, but it became a huge mess and I decided to make a new one to have a nice and clean look. There's a 40 minutes version of this video on my Patreon page where I show how I tried to repair the handle. I had to weld up material on a lot of parts and machined and sanded it clean afterwards. That all worked perfectly fine. Some parts have still very slight pitting but overall it turned out very well. For the finish on the steel parts I decided to try nickel plating for the first time and it worked fantastic. I went with a brushed finish and with the nickel coat the parts turned out amazing. I really like the look of the nickel plated parts with the wooden handle.
    I hope you like my work and the video.

      @@Playdory It's all in good fun. The juxtaposition of having worked on a screwdriver, potentially the simplest tool next to a hammer, to a set of binoculars is a big leap in technology. I find it humorous, like the phrase, "shoot for the Moon." Off course anyone with skills and knowledge of the sciences can work on any project of their choosing; It is genuinely entertaining to engage the mind by taking a look at what our forefathers' achievements were. What knowledge we can glean from their innovations and technology can only help be improved upon in the future.

    I really appreciate that you showed how hard it was to disassemble this! I feel like some restoration channels stick to "progress" without covering how you have to deal with issues like screw heads stripping, or the handle snapping while you try to wiggle it off.
    I feel very discouraged sometimes, when it seems like channels have zero problems and have a project done, seemingly, in an hour or two. It would be really great to get am estimate at the end of roughly how long it takes to restore an item.

I respect your abilities. I have been restoring tools for about a year now and to see how you do it is so inspirational. Old tools had so much more functionality than tools of today, the way a tool was built made it possible that if they were used carefully and taken care of they can through multiple lifetimes, and even if they were said to be “beyond repair” or scrap junk a man like yourself could come along and fix it and it will
    Last another dozen lifetimes. A tool like this one is so amazing and useful and just needs to be appreciated I feel good just knowing you have given it a new life and that millions of people have seen the work that you have done. Bravo sir. I am in awe of your craftsmanship.

      When he zoomed up on oddly shaped damaged ball, and said... no worry.. I MAKE NEW ONE.. I shat. a fucking sphere-shaping machinist tool then just blew my mind, sad about no spring part though lol).

    The tool and its design is also very impressive given the time period, german engineers really knew their stuff back then.

    Absolutely unbelievable!! I watch his videos and sit here just shaking my head because I can’t believe anyone could this much skill and knowledge! I look at some of these pieces and think, there is NO WAY anyone can get that thing working again! And then not only does he make it work again, but it’s probably better than it was brand new! this man is a genius!

      The ball turning technique has been the standard method of making a sphere in a machine shop for 100 years, not as unique as you may tjink.
