1920 Broken Ratcheting Screwdriver Restoration | Mister Patina
In this Video im restoring an old Ratcheting Screwdriver. These Screwdrivers were made between 1891 and 1945, i know that because its got a little mark "DRGM" - this is the mark for the german patents between 1891 and 1945.
When i received this ratcheting screwdriver, it has a malfunction. When ratching it right ways, eversthing is okay. By locking it, the screwdriver turned right way aswell. When turning it left ways, it did barely nothing. Time to repair and restore this old beauty!
I started with disassembling the screwdriver, i had to destroy the handle for it, because the whole mechanism was glued into the wooden handle. After taking the handle of, i could see a lot of rust and broken nickel plating. After disassembling the body, i could find two ratchet plates which are needed for the function. One of the plates was bent, so the error was found. I continued by pressing the small gear off the tipshaft by putting it in the lathe, without clamping it, and pushed it out with the drill. After that the disassembling was done and i could inspect all the parts. Every part needed to be restored. I started the restoration by rebending the plate, which was an easy job. The main body part was bent aswell, so i rebended it aswell. To get the maintip perfectly sanded later, i had to mill an adapter for it on the lathe mill, which fitted perfectly. Now it was time for sandblasting the parts, nearly every part got sandblasted in the sandblasting cabinet. After sandblasting i wanted to give the parts a smooth surface by wirebrushing them. So i wirebrushed all parts instead of the housing, because i sanded it afterwards. After the wirebrushing i blued the parts by heating them up to around 300 degrees and quenching them in oive oil. This process hardens the parts, makes them rustproof and gives them a nice black finish. Now is was able to sand the Housing part and the tipshaft. I sanded them with sanding paper from 180 to 320 grit and gave them a nice finish with scotchbrite. After that, the tip got smoothened on an oilstone with 400 and 1000 grit. The last step before plating the parts was polishing, to give the parts a nice shine. I used demineralized water, a nickel plating solution, pure nickel strips and a power source to let the nickel plating magic happen. After plating the parts, i stirred them in demineralized water again, dried them and gave them a final highgloss polish. All metal parts are ready now, last step was making a new wooden handle. I found a good part of wood in my shop and put it in the lathe mill, to mill it in rough shape. After that i filed and sanded it into the final shape and drilled the holes for fitting the metal mechanism later. I finished the handle by rubbing it with wood oil, to keep it protected and nice looking (I had to reshape the handle offcam later, because i wasnt happy with the final shape).
All parts are ready for reassembling, i put the ratcheting mechanism back together, which was really tricky, and greased all the parts with my new grease gun, which was gifted to me by "Not terrible Restorations - by Dr. Beer" - thanks Bro! The last step was gluing the screwdriver part into the wooden handle with a little wood glue.
The final test shows, that the ratcheting screwdriver is working perfectly again and looks nearly brand new.

Your channel is worth 1M SUBS!
Real work and pure talent!🎬👍🏻
Bro, thank you so much!
My pleasure!🛠
I think the same!
Thanks Bro!
Perfect job on the metal parts! Very impressive. The original handle was so beautiful, though, I shed a tear for it. Bombay Mahogany stain would have been a beautiful touch for the replacement handle, maybe even a little decorative knurling?
Thanks a lot! Yep, or some Smokey Cherry wood :-) but I hadn’t a piece available :/
Shear perfection friend, Stay Safe and have a nice day !!!.
Good Restoration Done 👍

Hej, nice job. it looks really great.
Thanks a lot :-)
Очень красивая работа! Очень жаль оригинальную рукоятку :)
Большое спасибо! Да, если я снова буду делать такой проект, я уделю больше внимания ручке или сделаю такой, который соответствует оригиналу.
Przepiękne jest ten bardzo stary śrubokręt odrestaurowany pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍👍
What a Awesome restoration! I aways looking for this kind of screwdriver but I never find a one. Great job!
Bro, thank you so much! If I find one, I’ll send it to you 🙂✌️
Nice job
Thanks Bob! ✌️
Brilliant job, man! I wasn't aware that they even made ratcheting screwdrivers that long ago. I really love the new wood handle you made - That lathe is a great addition to your shop. Keep it up :)
Thanks man! I didnt know that either. When i sandblasted it, the "DRGM" sign showed up. Its the "German Reich Patent". That means it was built between 1891 and 1945.
The Lathe rocks! Big up!
I wish you'd stained the handle like the original 😭 but besides that, great restoration! 😁
Oh yeah, since this project ill definitely try to keep the restorations more original! Hope you enjoyed anyways!
👍 ¡buen trabajo!
Gracias 🙂
As always, enjoyed your renovations. Here, however, I don’t think that wood glue would bond wood to metal with any great strength - wood to wood, yes, but it isn’t designed for any metal bonding. Epoxy resin should be used for a tool like this which will have a heavy turning force applied when in use. Also, a nice touch would have been to retain the original colour of the handle.
Good skill
Thanks Leonard!
When you break the handle its just like you breaking my heart, why you didn't keep the original handle 😭
I agree, Feels like he destroy the history of it.
Oh man i totally agree. But the old handle had some bad marks and the metal parts were stuck/glued in it. I didnt have other options :( But in the next projects i will try to take the same wood for recreating such parts, to keep it as original as possible! Hope you enjoyed anyways! :-)
@@misterpatina OK, you couldn't keep the original, but the new handle should have been a similar shape and darker/purple color in keeping with they style of when it was originally made. You put a 21st century handle on a 20th century tool.
@@kellerrobert80 agreed
@@misterpatina Did you try a heat gun to loosen the glue inside the handle?
Wonderfull job, so much detail went into it.
Thank you very much!
Very nice
Thanks!
¡Muy bien!
Gracias! 🙂
Phantastisch.. ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
Danke ❤️
Wow bravo 👏, good job really,made in Germany 👍nr 1

Otro gran ejemplo de su habilidad para la restauracion, excelente resultado de este proyecto la restauración de destornillador de trinquete roto de 1920, mis respetos y saludos desde Venezuela.
hola amilcar, muchas gracias por tus amables palabras, me motivan mucho! ¡Gracias y saludos cordiales desde Alemania!
Нужно было для теста закрутить парочку шурупов в доску 😊 проверить качество реставрации так сказать 😎
First few seconds in I'm like wow the handle is beautiful I hope he keeps it....😢
My dad would have laughed at you using all that expensive polishing compound on an old screwdriver! Love your vids, mate-Cheers ~!
Haha, I know that feel 😄
Thanks a lot!
Gute Arbeit!
Danke! 🙂
Very cool bro, nice work. I have a few of them and I enjoyed the resto
Hey Tim, thanks again 🙂 oh really? Exactly the same ones or different? Iam always on the lookout 🙂
@@misterpatina they are different but the same action when I get them unpacked from moving I'll send you one if your interested
So amazing and beautiful work! Love your video style.Thank you sir for sharing this.
Thanks so much! ❤️
Ratchet plate is bent. I make a new one!
Oops, wrong channel! 😊
Great video btw 👍
Haha, thanks! 🙂
Very nice👍
Thanks!
Great work as always. Even on the oddest little things
Thanks Mr. Schafer!
Excellent job, I enjoy your work.
Thank you. Iam really glad you enjoyed!
Another fantastic restoration. I doubt that it looked or worked this well when it was new.
Thanks Fred!
Man i am impressed not only by your restoration but the fact that you have this good production quality at such a low subscriber base good luck you will cross 1m soon
Hey Bro, thank you so much for your words ❤️
Great work with a stunning result, but - sorry - I would have saved the original handle...
Perfect
Thanks Robert!
Hi, please use epoxy glue for the handle. Also not sure heating the "blade" is a good idea if you want to keep the hardening.
Thanks for the tips!
Спасибо, очень интересно. А чего же не протестировали восстановленный инструмент? Было бы любопытно глянуть каков он в деле. Оригинальная рукоятка смотрится лучше новой.
Мне тоже старая ручка понравилась больше новой! И цветом и формой
Dude at 4:57 i was like " damn that's a huge drill" then I realized that's a little rubber hand 😂
Haha, that’s my little helping Hand 😄
LOL
We wanna see the pliers get cleaned off in the sandblaster! 😂
Haha, so many people said that, I think it will happen one day 😄
Great job. I had one of those many years ago.
It had a longer handle, the one you have almost looks like someone might have cut the handle down.
5:04 I laughed so hard when the “Oily Oil” and “Flamey Flame” part came😂🤣😅
Haha, thanks for watching bro! 🙂
Wow that's some great effort you put into one simple little tool, nice job. But, er, sorry 'bout this and all, but is the new handle crooked?
Thanks for your comments! 🙂 No, it’s not. Maybe the lense of my camera 😄
@@misterpatina Thanks for taking the trouble to reply!
I remember my father using one of these in the 1960s before Phillips cut took over and modernised the whole screw business.
And then the character of these nice tools was gone...😕
Очень хорошо. Не понял зачем нужно было ломать старую ручку...
Большое спасибо :-) Старая ручка имела несколько дефектов, но основной причиной поломки было то, что она была очень прочно приклеена к металлу. Я не смог бы его разобрать, не разрушив. Надеюсь, вам все равно понравилось видео :-)
