I do believe you've given this old boy another new side hobby. Thanks, my friend. I can't seem to watch enough of these restoration videos. I just got out of a 5-year rc building hobby. That can get to be a very expensive little "addiction" before you know it. I've just always enjoyed working on and fixing useful things.
rc cars That's an awesome hobby. When I was in my later teens I was really into them and yes it does get very expensive. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I can tell you this hobby can be expensive too.. But I usually try to just find things from the Flea market and yard sales.so at least the initial investment isn't too bad. Keep us posted about what you get up to fixing. take care.
Good video, I enjoy cleaning my old tools up; this video gives me some motivation to clean up my dad and two grand dad's handed down tools now that I have more time on my hands as a recent retiree🙂
New Britain made so many tools as an OEM for other brands, I love their fine tooth ratchets, they’re such a joy to use! Those 8 point sockets are great to have around for square nuts on old stuff. Nice find, especially for $1.00 ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Thanks Man! Ya I gotta dig through my hoard and see if I got some more of those 8 points. New Britain is the one brand I don't see a lot of here so finding it in a rusted up $1 set was totally amazing! Take care and see ya soon!
Nice work. It’s always nice to watch someone who “works clean”. I’m a fan of the 1/4inch sets they are very handy. Thanks for making this for us viewers.
Thank You! I have a love affair for the 1/4 inch sets myself..I keep one in each of my vehicles and they are essential for working on small engines. I appreciate you checking it out.
Thanks Big Brother! I've been wanting to use that color for a while and thought this would be a good one for it. I think I did pay a dollar for that paint too. 😁.
I recently started wire wheeling some older tools and it’s amazing how much better they look after. I always try to treat with some sort of lubricant after. The box and tools came out great!
From a buck to 20 bucks with a little sweat equity. You got that box to come out looking sweet my friend. Great job, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching the process.
Thanks Terry! Sometimes we get lucky and it was worth the chance for a buck! I was very happy to see how this one came up and I'm glad you enjoyed watching the process because I do enjoy it too. I think it's fascinating seeing it go through the different stages to the end result. It never gets old to me. Take care My Friend.
Good one, Capt America! Really enjoyed the video and cleaned up so nice. Such a cool little set and to know you got it for a buck, really makes it even better. We need to find you a New Britain 1/4" drive ratchet to make it perfect.
Hey Mike, Thanks Brother. I can't complain even if it was trash the box was worth the $1. I've been waiting to use that blue and figured this was a good candidate. See ya soon!
You can beat that for just a buck. The box and socket set turned out great. Nice work, George. I just scored this weekend with a 3/8 boxed SK socket set. I was able to get the drive handle working again. Nice video.😀👍🏻🇺🇲
Super little set. I have never used rust reformer so I appreciate the tip. Watching you working on something smaller than your finger markes my eyes hurt and my fingers ache 😅 Great restoration.
Thanks Mr. John! Give that rust reformer a try I think you'll like working with it. It's hard to find things that are smaller than my fingers. 🤣. Take care Buddy!
My uncle was a mechanic, his go to were Williams and SK. He left me his tool boxes when he passed away but they were ransacked before I got to pick them up. I have been working on replacing the tools for a few years now. Just curious do you still have any of the Vulcan?
I have that exact same set that was originally my father's. He kept it on his Harley's in the 1940's. The ratchet is not part of the set. There is also a small 6" round metal bar that goes through the hole on the breaker bar to give one a T type grip that is missing from the set. As an FYI, the original color was similar to military green. Great job on restoring it!
Thank You! That is awesome that you have an original from your Dad , and thanks again for letting me know what it originally had. I will be keeping an eye out for those pieces to put in it. If I find them I will post an update.
You gave that tool kit a whole Lotta love no doubt in my mind George that you couldn't give it a complete turn around a mix matched set but just like your 3/4 drive jh Williams and Wright socket kit you showed awhile back ago I believe it was purpose driven some people just like putting two greats together and I can't blame them that Vulcan ratchet is jh Williams truck brand so you know it's great and I have yet to find one great content brother I couldn't wait for this one awesome job as always take care my friend
Thanks Don! I had no idea what else was in there besides the Vulcan ratchet. You know I don't see too much New Britain around here so that was awesome to me. . I am going to try and find the New Britain ratchet to match this set. Vulcan is pretty scarce here too. Take care and hope all is well!
@Uwannawatch new Britain is always a treat no matter what you always see SK craftsman and other brands but new Britain as popular as it was is harder to find people still holding on to them I don't blame them
@@akafrosty6175 You know it! You can't even get the Harbor Freight Specials for that price. I will always rather buy good old quality tools and clean them.
Thank you I appreciate that. I did a little tour of it if you are interested. It's changed a little bit since I did the video. th-cam.com/video/ARUVgx0LVc0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QKjyZxqY7DmePqWe
I remember getting sets like those at a car parts store. The guy had a shop attached to his house. This was before Champion,Auto Zone, O'Reilly's,Carquest and all the others. Our town didn't have a Sears Robuck orJ C Penny's handy. Kmart was just getting established back then. Things have changed alot since then.
Yes Sir things have changed a lot since then..I am lucky to still have a Family owned Hardware store in my town. I pay a bit more for somethings but it is well worth it to help a Family business stay open.
Great save of a very useful socket set. New Britain tools are quality, and I bet you'll find a 1/4 inch ratchet at a flea market or swap meet to complete the set. As it happens I'm working on an old Ray tool box full of dirty, rusty Mossberg sheet metal sockets and tools so this video was right down my alley. Thanks for tips on cleaning up the box.
Hey Pat, I was happy to see they were New Britain it's something I don't come across too often but will be keeping an eye out for the ratchet. That's a sweet project you are working on. Let us know how it turns out.
New Britain, Blackhawk, SK, Craftsman, and my Snap ons.........I'm starting to worry I have too many favorites. tHanks for the great video...really turned out nice!
Thanks Mr. Bill! I was really surprised to find out what was hiding under that rust. I think I'm getting a little hooked on doing these boxes..I can see why you enjoy doing them!
My new father n law Earl Major , owner of Major’s Auto Body, gave me an S K 1/4” set very much like this set in 1971 as a Christmas gift a week after our wedding. I use it constantly.
Hey !George !Woaw un tout nouveau T-shirt avec une grosse étoile 🌟 américaine, très jolie. Le nettoyage de la boîte et la peinture en bleu est superbe. Le nettoyage des douilles et de la barre, plus le cliquet est nickel. Vraiment du beau travail. ❤
Thanks Patrick! That's my Captain America shirt and I'm not supposed to wear good shirts in the shop so don't tell my Missus. I am very happy with this restoration.
What an awesome restoration! Most people would have thrown that set in the trash but you did a great job giving it new life. It looks terrific. I’m glad I found your channel. I’m learning so much about how to rehab tools and keep my own tools in top shape. 👍🏼
Thank You! When I picked it up and asked "how much" The guy at the yard sale said $1 it was just going to go in the scrap pile. I'm happy I found it. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel and thank you for being here. I really appreciate it. Take care.
I once bought a set of such cheap tools at one of those here for one day tool sales. And of course they rusted almost before I got them home. I too wire brushed them on a bench grinder wire wheel setup and they again looked good for a very little time. If I had to do it over, I would have cleaned them up and then plated them in a Nickel Acetate solution and made them both look good and be rust proof...
I have that exact same set, box and all, but everything including the box is marked SK (Sherman Klove Co). I get it new in 1961 and is still in good condition.
Hey George you did a great job on that case Looks like it's factory fresh That is a nice little set Quarter " drive Sockets And breaker bar And ratchet I think that I've never really heard Either of those brands But it looks like it's something you know about So like always So like Keep the faith brother Keep rockin' in the free world
Thank You Les, I don't know all about them but i know they are both good quality.. I was surprised it was actually all in good shape. Hey since you kinda have a thing for knives you should check out the channel @wallaceknifeworkshomestead tell him George sent ya.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I get that all the time! I appreciate ya checking out the vise and i'm glad you liked it. I was very happy with how this one came out. Thanks for hanging out in the shop with me.
Great job. Love those old vintage brands of tools. Thought I noticed some eight point sockets in the group. I am always looking for those for the occasional old square nut or plug I encounter.
Thank You! I do believe there were a couple in there. You really can't beat the quality of the older tools. Way better than anything on the market today. In my opinion.
Just had to subscribe! We look too much alike and do similar stuff lol , restored a set of impact sockets that were really bad. Used a rust remover bath, WD something of other. got a free gallon when it first came out.
Awesome.. came out really cool... The next video I put her out I'll show you my new Britain socket set.. like the blue a lot.. I thought it would be John Deere Green LOL.. stay safe dude. Flea market video was badass...
That was an awesome score!! I love the safety blue case. You need a logo (Maybe an adult beverage bottle) that you could stencil on items like this, Not necessarily Jimmy DiResta style, but just a fun embellishment, Back to doing the Royal Flush before football starts. Have an amazing week brother!!
Hey Patrick! Thanks Brother! You spotted it was safety blue..That's awesome! I'm working on getting some logo stuff made so that'll be in a future video.Just the literal same old s**t at work for me. Take it easy and whoo hoo halfway to the weekend!
To start of with, total bargain for a dollar, even in that state, amazing to think People would usually skip this stuff. Even on the wire wheel the breaker was looking good, a sign of quality . 😂 case came out well, great looking blue, very skilful and interesting restoration 🍻🍻🍻😊
Great video. A couple of suggestions. 1. If you don't have any evaporust, you can use vinegar and backing soda. I'm not a fan of the chemicals, and this is a good alternative. 2. I use all-purpose grease for the ratchets instead of oil.
Thank You! And I appreciate the tips! I'm not a fan of vinigar the smell gives me headaches and I've heard of using either oil or grease. I'm not sure which is better.
Sweet! That's what it's about around here just having fun and kicking around the shop. Saskatoon! That's awesome! Thanks for checking out my video and for subscribing I truly appreciate that. Take care and we'll see ya soon!
Vulcan Tools were made in the same plant on Vulcan Street in Buffalo, NY, as Williams Tools, and are highly respected. New Britain also made Craftsman tools marked "V."
Thank You Joseph I appreciate the information. I have quite a few Williams tools and they are great but I don't come across too many of the Vulcan they are on my radar now.
Thank You Mr. Wallace! It might be a few days before I can catch up on that pt 3 Natchez video.I like the longer ones but sometimes I have to wait until the weekend to watch. I can't wait to see it all done!
That's interesting to see square nut sockets included in the set. Nice resto and a great price. I'd much rather spend the time and effort to cleanup an old American socket set than to purchase a new foreign made. I've used rust converter products on my vehicles and the stuff really works well. The first product I used was Por 15 back in the 80s, worked really well but super expensive. Great video George, stay cool.
Mike,Mike,Mike! You got that right! I would rather clean and use a mix match American made set then pay for and use any of the cheap new foreign crap everybody seems to be pushing these days! You've used rust converter on your cars? That's weird I assumed you always had Dodge. They are born perfect and never grow old. 😁. That converter is some good stuff seriously.
I really enjoyed this video. You got a dollars worth of fun restoring it, and I/we got a dollars worth of fun watching it. I think it turned out great!!!! Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan Ps... where did you get the can of rust Prohibiter?
Thanks Greg! I figured we'd get a dollar's worth of something out of this set so finding good tools in there was just a bonus. I've found it at the flea market and it is sold at auto stores. Take care Greg and see ya soon.
I do believe you've given this old boy another new side hobby. Thanks, my friend. I can't seem to watch enough of these restoration videos. I just got out of a 5-year rc building hobby.

Good video, I enjoy cleaning my old tools up; this video gives me some motivation to clean up my dad and two grand dad's handed down tools now that I have more time on my hands as a recent retiree🙂
Thank You. Congratulations on your retirement and let us know how those tools come out for you.
That's a fantastic little set for a dollar. Another piece of history restored. Thanks, George. It's always a pleasure to watch.
Thanks Michael, I always appreciate you viewing and commenting on my videos it means a lot to me and now this little set will get to live on.
New Britain made so many tools as an OEM for other brands, I love their fine tooth ratchets, they’re such a joy to use!
Those 8 point sockets are great to have around for square nuts on old stuff.
Nice find, especially for $1.00 ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Thanks Man! Ya I gotta dig through my hoard and see if I got some more of those 8 points. New Britain is the one brand I don't see a lot of here so finding it in a rusted up $1 set was totally amazing! Take care and see ya soon!
Nice work. It’s always nice to watch someone who “works clean”. I’m a fan of the 1/4inch sets they are very handy. Thanks for making this for us viewers.
Thank You! I have a love affair for the 1/4 inch sets myself..I keep one in each of my vehicles and they are essential for working on small engines. I appreciate you checking it out.
Great episode! You really transformed that rusty socket set!
Thanks Man, I was pretty surprised to see how good they were under all that rust!
Man after my own heart, I've restored many tools from yard sales and auctions and have turned a profit on them all. Keep up the good work!
Thank You. Yes tools fund more tools and it keeps them out in the world for use. I appreciate the nice words of encouragement.
NEWER Britain now! Fantastic color choice...that colors worth a dollar as well 🤠👍 great find and awesome job Mr. George!
Thanks Big Brother! I've been wanting to use that color for a while and thought this would be a good one for it. I think I did pay a dollar for that paint too. 😁.
Excellent! This kind of thing is just up my alley. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank You! It is really satisfying bringing these old tools back to life. Thanks for checking it out.
Love the colour , perfect for a socket box ! Great turn around George , and a bargain price !
Thanks Jimothy! Who knew there would be something good under all that rust..I really thought I was gonna find something shit.
I recently started wire wheeling some older tools and it’s amazing how much better they look after. I always try to treat with some sort of lubricant after.
The box and tools came out great!
Thank You! I don't think that ever gets old seeing how they look after a wire wheel.
It was a nice clean job. The set came back to life. I like it.
Thank You! I was very happy with how this project turned out. One of the best dollars I ever spent.
From a buck to 20 bucks with a little sweat equity. You got that box to come out looking sweet my friend. Great job, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching the process.
Thanks Terry! Sometimes we get lucky and it was worth the chance for a buck! I was very happy to see how this one came up and I'm glad you enjoyed watching the process because I do enjoy it too. I think it's fascinating seeing it go through the different stages to the end result. It never gets old to me. Take care My Friend.
Awesome Job George- New Britain tools are fantastic!
Thanks John! They sure are!
Great little restoration, love grabbing a smaller 1/4” socket set if possible! Love it…
Thanks! They are a must have size for small engine work and I keep a set in each one of my vehicles
Awesome! New Britain is an old mill city in Conn. Stanley was based there as well...
Thank you for the information I really appreciate it!
Good job on reconditioning that set...from one organized tool lover to another.
Thank You I really appreciate that.
What a nice find. And to find the box in that great shape. Nice job bringing back to useable life.
Thank You Rob, I was quite happy with the results on this one .For $1 i would have been happy with a good box and a decent ratchet.
Got a box fan for the shop and been thinking of a place to put it. Then I seen your hanging in the rafters, Great idea! Thank You.
Thanks Richard, It does blow warm air down in the summer but I also hung one by my gable vent.
Good one, Capt America! Really enjoyed the video and cleaned up so nice. Such a cool little set and to know you got it for a buck, really makes it even better. We need to find you a New Britain 1/4" drive ratchet to make it perfect.
Thanks Fred G! I'm sure I'll come across one it'll probably cost me more than the rest of the set!
Awesome job George! That came out very well and you can't beat the price! Love the color choice for the box. Great job and see you Sunday 👍
Hey Mike, Thanks Brother. I can't complain even if it was trash the box was worth the $1. I've been waiting to use that blue and figured this was a good candidate. See ya soon!
You can beat that for just a buck. The box and socket set turned out great. Nice work, George. I just scored this weekend with a 3/8 boxed SK socket set. I was able to get the drive handle working again. Nice video.😀👍🏻🇺🇲
Thanks Joe! You lucky dog! That's a good find! You know I love the SK!
Super little set. I have never used rust reformer so I appreciate the tip. Watching you working on something smaller than your finger markes my eyes hurt and my fingers ache 😅 Great restoration.
Thanks Mr. John! Give that rust reformer a try I think you'll like working with it. It's hard to find things that are smaller than my fingers. 🤣. Take care Buddy!
Nice work, George! Great set for $1. That's awesome and I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks Man! Ya I was surprised they came back so well. And for $1 i would have been happy just to have the box and ratchet.
Enjoyed this one! Rust Reformer is something I’m gonna try out! Thanks George!
Thanks John, It really does work and I think you'll like using it.
My dad being a mechanic he had Vulcan ratchets and all kinds and tools Snap-on two seem like a pretty good tool awesome video thank you
My uncle was a mechanic, his go to were Williams and SK. He left me his tool boxes when he passed away but they were ransacked before I got to pick them up. I have been working on replacing the tools for a few years now. Just curious do you still have any of the Vulcan?
Nice job on the restoration!⭐️
Thank You!
What a steal for a buck....nice score.
Thanks! I was really happy to find out there was something good under all the rust. If not still would have been happy with the box and ratchet.
I'm glad I saw this video I have a few tool boxes that I can restore. Thanks Brother.
Thanks for checking out my video. I hope you have fun restoring your tool boxes. Let us know how it goes.
You can’t beat that little set for a buck! You got everything looking so good, especially after being in such rough shape!
Thanks Brother! I figured the box was worth the dollar spent but finding a name brand under all the rust was a bonus.
I have that exact same set that was originally my father's. He kept it on his Harley's in the 1940's. The ratchet is not part of the set. There is also a small 6" round metal bar that goes through the hole on the breaker bar to give one a T type grip that is missing from the set. As an FYI, the original color was similar to military green. Great job on restoring it!
Thank You! That is awesome that you have an original from your Dad , and thanks again for letting me know what it originally had. I will be keeping an eye out for those pieces to put in it. If I find them I will post an update.
Wow! That’s a dollar well spent! They cleaned up great! Awesome!
Thank You! I would have been happy with just the box and the ratchet but finding the New Britain in there was a nice bonus!
Forgot to say thanks for the rust reform tip, going to buy some tomorrow and work on a rusty old Dayton tool box.
You're welcome. That sounds like an awesome project! Let us know how it comes out.
That was a good day...some people just don't understand how nice it is to make things work again...
Thank you and you got that right. I get a lot of satisfaction from bringing these things back to life.
You gave that tool kit a whole Lotta love no doubt in my mind George that you couldn't give it a complete turn around a mix matched set but just like your 3/4 drive jh Williams and Wright socket kit you showed awhile back ago I believe it was purpose driven some people just like putting two greats together and I can't blame them that Vulcan ratchet is jh Williams truck brand so you know it's great and I have yet to find one great content brother I couldn't wait for this one awesome job as always take care my friend
Thanks Don! I had no idea what else was in there besides the Vulcan ratchet. You know I don't see too much New Britain around here so that was awesome to me. . I am going to try and find the New Britain ratchet to match this set. Vulcan is pretty scarce here too. Take care and hope all is well!
@Uwannawatch new Britain is always a treat no matter what you always see SK craftsman and other brands but new Britain as popular as it was is harder to find people still holding on to them I don't blame them
That was a well spent dollar great restoration job well done
Thanks Dan! I figured for a dollar I would take a chance and I'm happy I did! I'm really pleased with how this project turned out.
Congratulations. You've turned a $1.00 rusty socket set into a $2.00 clean socket set. But is was entertaining to watch you do it.
It’s more of an accomplishment type thing.
Thanks! I'm glad you were entertained. I had about $10 worth of fun doing it and that's still cheaper than a movie ticket.
@@George-tz1cv I accomplished keeping a quality tool set from going to the scrap heap. So I am pretty happy about that.
Plus, it's now a useful set. New these things are not $2 for anything that is decent quality.
@@akafrosty6175 You know it! You can't even get the Harbor Freight Specials for that price. I will always rather buy good old quality tools and clean them.
Quite the transformation, George!
I learned something new with the rust reformer. I enjoyed watching, thanks!
Thanks Lyle I'm glad you enjoyed it! , That stuff works great on all tin and steel..I swear by it.
liked this video, greetings from Belgium, Europe
Hello and Thank You! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
For one dollar, thats a good bargain. I have one that was my Dads, its in a green container. Good refurbishing job, I subscribed, Cheers !
Thank You! That's awesome that you have your Dad's and thanks for the information about the original color..I appreciate you subscribing.
Beautiful set of tools. Nice work
Thank You. I've already used them. Still on the hunt for the matching ratchet.
Very nice George, who knew a Gem in the rough. It looks great ,good color choice allround great job.
Thank You Mr. Dale! You just never know what's going to be under all the rust and i think that's half the fun!
Good job on that set and it looks like you have a nice shop there.
Thank you I appreciate that. I did a little tour of it if you are interested. It's changed a little bit since I did the video.
th-cam.com/video/ARUVgx0LVc0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QKjyZxqY7DmePqWe
Nice job. Very entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate ya checking it out.
It was given to you for free. However, you got motivated to restored it and presented a good video.
Nope paid a dollar fair and square
I remember getting sets like those at a car parts store. The guy had a shop attached to his house. This was before Champion,Auto Zone, O'Reilly's,Carquest and all the others. Our town didn't have a Sears Robuck orJ C Penny's handy. Kmart was just getting established back then. Things have changed alot since then.
Yes Sir things have changed a lot since then..I am lucky to still have a Family owned Hardware store in my town. I pay a bit more for somethings but it is well worth it to help a Family business stay open.
Great save of a very useful socket set. New Britain tools are quality, and I bet you'll find a 1/4 inch ratchet at a flea market or swap meet to complete the set. As it happens I'm working on an old Ray tool box full of dirty, rusty Mossberg sheet metal sockets and tools so this video was right down my alley. Thanks for tips on cleaning up the box.
Hey Pat, I was happy to see they were New Britain it's something I don't come across too often but will be keeping an eye out for the ratchet.
That's a sweet project you are working on. Let us know how it turns out.
New Britain, Blackhawk, SK, Craftsman, and my Snap ons.........I'm starting to worry I have too many favorites.
tHanks for the great video...really turned out nice!
Thanks Man and you can never have too many favorites. take from me. 😁
What a nice little socket set George! You hit the jackpot. Well done!
Thanks Mr. Bill! I was really surprised to find out what was hiding under that rust. I think I'm getting a little hooked on doing these boxes..I can see why you enjoy doing them!
Good find and cleaned up nice for a buck cant go wrong
Thanks Larry.. Shoot for a buck I would have been happy with just the ratchet and the box but finding New Britain in there Bonus!
My new father n law Earl Major , owner of Major’s Auto Body, gave me an S K 1/4” set very much like this set in 1971 as a Christmas gift a week after our wedding. I use it constantly.
That's Awesome! SK is top quality. I love hearing stories like this. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Patrick! That's my Captain America shirt and I'm not supposed to wear good shirts in the shop so don't tell my Missus. I am very happy with this restoration.
Save them all . Many of the tools from the past are still robust & designed to last .
Exactly! These old tools are far better made than most of the new ones. There is just something so satisfying about bringing them back and using them.
What an awesome restoration! Most people would have thrown that set in the trash but you did a great job giving it new life. It looks terrific. I’m glad I found your channel. I’m learning so much about how to rehab tools and keep my own tools in top shape. 👍🏼
Thank You! When I picked it up and asked "how much" The guy at the yard sale said $1 it was just going to go in the scrap pile. I'm happy I found it. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel and thank you for being here. I really appreciate it. Take care.
I’d buy that for a dollar! Great job
One of the best dollars I've ever spent! Seriously happy to see it was a good set and now it's usable again. Thank you!
The Rust Reformer is a great tip..... 👍🏻🛠️
Thanks Brother! I really like using it.
It won't protect the metal for long time if left unpainted, preferably with an oil-based paint.
Great video and a fantastic job like the colour And thanks for sharing your time Thanks again George 🍺🍺👍👍
Thank you Brian! 🍺🍺🍻
I once bought a set of such cheap tools at one of those here for one day tool sales. And of course they rusted almost before I got them home. I too wire brushed them on a bench grinder wire wheel setup and they again looked good for a very little time. If I had to do it over, I would have cleaned them up and then plated them in a Nickel Acetate solution and made them both look good and be rust proof...
Cool, that's a sweet idea.
That set is adorable!
Thank You!
That would make a nice starter set.
Ya it would!
Nice work..$1+time x effort=gem of a little kit.
Thank You, I like finding these boxes..You never know what will be in them.
Looks great! Well done!
Thanks Brother! Appreciate it!
Great job George, I have always loved those little ratchet sets you brought this one back to life.
Thanks Ken, I think I'm starting to appreciate them more and more. I'm happy to be able to put these back to work.
Awesome job clicking and clicking! Great set ya got your self there.
I knew you would like it..The clicking I mean.🤣🤣
I like the way you have your box fan set up in your workshop, I'm gonna steal that idea for use in my workshop
Thanks, Ya it's been working out pretty good for me having it like that.
Fantastic purchase for a dollar
Thanks! I couldn't be happier with it.
I have that exact same set, box and all, but everything including the box is marked SK (Sherman Klove Co). I get it new in 1961 and is still in good condition.
Sweet! I'm a big fan of SK! I have quite a collection of it. They are a fantastic tool.
Well that came out great! It went from $1 to priceless! 🙂🙂🙂
Thank Man! It's a lot of fun restoring the treasures I bring home.
The little Vulcan ratchet was made under the Proto umbrella in the 60’s still good quality.
Thanks!
That was a good find and a great deal it turned out great.
Thanks Jeffery! I was very surprised to find out what was hidden under the rust.and can't complain about the price one bit!
Nice work.
Thank You!
Keeping a cup brush steady has always been super annoying. Thanks for sticking it out. Brilliant
Thanks Man, It's a lot easier to do with the angle grinder.
looks good for a dollar!
Thank You! I thought It was worth the $1 for the box and ratchet at least.
You've got to be happy with that $1 set. Great job with the paint too, love the colour👍🏻
Alex, Thank you! I am over the moon about this little set. I've been wanting to use that blue for a while now. Take care Buddy!
Excellent value 👏
Thanks! It was a dollar well spent. You never know what's hiding under the rust.
Very nice! And for a buck!
Thank You. One of the best dollars I've ever spent!
Excellent work and a pleasure to see you again my friend
Thanks Man! it was great seeing ya too. Keep in touch my email is in my bio.
Hey George you did a great job on that case Looks like it's factory fresh That is a nice little set Quarter " drive Sockets And breaker bar And ratchet I think that I've never really heard Either of those brands But it looks like it's something you know about So like always So like Keep the faith brother Keep rockin' in the free world
Thank You Les, I don't know all about them but i know they are both good quality.. I was surprised it was actually all in good shape. Hey since you kinda have a thing for knives you should check out the channel @wallaceknifeworkshomestead tell him George sent ya.
Hey George, has anybody ever told you that you sound like John Goodman? Great voice! Your restoration was fun to watch, too!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I get that all the time! I appreciate ya checking out the vise and i'm glad you liked it. I was very happy with how this one came out. Thanks for hanging out in the shop with me.
Great job. Love those old vintage brands of tools. Thought I noticed some eight point sockets in the group. I am always looking for those for the occasional old square nut or plug I encounter.
Thank You! I do believe there were a couple in there. You really can't beat the quality of the older tools. Way better than anything on the market today. In my opinion.
Just had to subscribe! We look too much alike and do similar stuff lol , restored a set of impact sockets that were really bad. Used a rust remover bath, WD something of other. got a free gallon when it first came out.
Nice! I thought I was the only restorer this good looking! lol. Thanks for checking it out and for subscribing. I hope you enjoy the channel.
Awesome.. came out really cool... The next video I put her out I'll show you my new Britain socket set.. like the blue a lot.. I thought it would be John Deere Green LOL.. stay safe dude. Flea market video was badass...
CC!!! Thanks Brother! No John Deere Green some other guy has the rights to that color.😅. Take it easy Brother!
That was an awesome score!! I love the safety blue case. You need a logo (Maybe an adult beverage bottle) that you could stencil on items like this, Not necessarily Jimmy DiResta style, but just a fun embellishment, Back to doing the Royal Flush before football starts. Have an amazing week brother!!
Hey Patrick! Thanks Brother! You spotted it was safety blue..That's awesome! I'm working on getting some logo stuff made so that'll be in a future video.Just the literal same old s**t at work for me. Take it easy and whoo hoo halfway to the weekend!
looks like you have a few 8 point sockets in there too... handy for square bolts and taps
Yes there are a couple of them in there. I need to look around my hoard and see if i got any more hiding in a tool box somewhere.
Score! Buy those all day long for a $1!!! Great restore George!
Right!!! I thought the worst case we'd at least get a decent socket box but happy to find a good set in there. Thanks a lot Man!
@@Uwannawatch You're A-OK George! Us old timers know the treasures to pick.
To start of with, total bargain for a dollar, even in that state, amazing to think
People would usually skip this stuff. Even on the wire wheel the breaker was looking good, a sign of quality . 😂 case came out well, great looking blue, very skilful and interesting restoration 🍻🍻🍻😊
Thanks Ant! They are a quality brand tool and you know us the rustier the better. 🤣🍻. Take care!
Great video. A couple of suggestions. 1. If you don't have any evaporust, you can use vinegar and backing soda. I'm not a fan of the chemicals, and this is a good alternative. 2. I use all-purpose grease for the ratchets instead of oil.
Thank You! And I appreciate the tips! I'm not a fan of vinigar the smell gives me headaches and I've heard of using either oil or grease. I'm not sure which is better.
@Uwannawatch My only issue with the oil is I find it runs out of everything, making a mess in the toolbox.
Very nice.
Thank You!
Shoot! That was way too much fun. New subscriber from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Yes, that really is a place. Cheers!
Sweet! That's what it's about around here just having fun and kicking around the shop. Saskatoon! That's awesome! Thanks for checking out my video and for subscribing I truly appreciate that. Take care and we'll see ya soon!
Vulcan Tools were made in the same plant on Vulcan Street in Buffalo, NY, as Williams Tools, and are highly respected. New Britain also made Craftsman tools marked "V."
Thank You Joseph I appreciate the information. I have quite a few Williams tools and they are great but I don't come across too many of the Vulcan they are on my radar now.
Very nice set!
Thank You Mr. Wallace! It might be a few days before I can catch up on that pt 3 Natchez video.I like the longer ones but sometimes I have to wait until the weekend to watch. I can't wait to see it all done!
That's interesting to see square nut sockets included in the set. Nice resto and a great price. I'd much rather spend the time and effort to cleanup an old American socket set than to purchase a new foreign made. I've used rust converter products on my vehicles and the stuff really works well. The first product I used was Por 15 back in the 80s, worked really well but super expensive. Great video George, stay cool.
Mike,Mike,Mike! You got that right! I would rather clean and use a mix match American made set then pay for and use any of the cheap new foreign crap everybody seems to be pushing these days!
You've used rust converter on your cars? That's weird I assumed you always had Dodge. They are born perfect and never grow old. 😁. That converter is some good stuff seriously.
@@Uwannawatch 😎👍🏻
Great work, subscribed.
Thanks! I appreciate it! I hope you'll enjoy my channel!
Hard work. Nice video.
Thanks Man, I appreciate that!
Vulcan Tools a Division of United-Greenfield Corporation. Don't know how many years they made it but that ratchet is in the 1964 catalog.
Thanks Man I appreciate the information!
looked about as dry as a popcorn 🍿 fart
nice set great job George 👍 🛠🍁🇨🇦😁
Thanks Dan O! I hope you were talking about the ratchet..🤣🤣
Nice score Super George! If you want to double your money let me know 😂 that turned out great brother.
Thanks captain Ivan.. Are we talking cash money? I don't take checks or credit cards.🤣🤣
@@Uwannawatch i only deal with cash🤣
Nice find try finding a set complete with out having to clean up.
That would be nice. But it's also satisfying bringing these old tools back from the rust pile.
I really enjoyed this video.
You got a dollars worth of fun restoring it, and I/we got a dollars worth of fun watching it.
I think it turned out great!!!!
Have a Jesus filled day everyone
Greg in Michigan
Ps... where did you get the can of rust Prohibiter?
Thanks Greg! I figured we'd get a dollar's worth of something out of this set so finding good tools in there was just a bonus.
I've found it at the flea market and it is sold at auto stores.
Take care Greg and see ya soon.
Love the oil can u used, haven't see one of those in awhile.
Thank you Tom, It's my everyday user always on the bench. I have a small collection of them.
