HandToolRescue guy has a big plastic barrel of Evaporust that he just uses over and over. They sponsor him, would be great if they did that for you too!
Beautiful job on the vice. We’re starting to see more and more of unpainted finishes lately. Looks good on the vice. I can see that Evaporust is superior, but factoring in the cost and the availability where I live, give me acid anytime. Besides, I can use the acid to get rid of the evidence from people that piss me off. Evaporust is no good for that. 😂
Nice job on the comparison... Also, Very interesting vise... This one, although quite simple in its manufacture is NOT a cast piece subject to cracks or breaks. It is also completely repairable with simple welding methods since it is standard forged or rolled steel. If you ding up the anvil section, simply clean out the ding, fill it proud with weld, and file it back flush. Good as new.
So, it looks like the best process is to do all the initial cleaning with hydrochloric acid, wash it, and then let it soak in Evaporust. That way there is better rust removal, less cleaning of the part afterward, and better protection. And it keeps the Evaporust cleaner.
A few other marks against HCl and in favor of Evaporust: (1) HCl reacts fairly strongly with Iron creating some form of Iron Chloride (that might have been the discoloration) and (2) Evaporust is a lot safer than dilute HCl and you don't run into safe handling and waste disposal issues of HCl.
I also meant to say: great restoration! Even to my untrained eye those weld marks make me think this wasn't a high end vice to begin with, but it sure looks a lot better now! 👍
Looking at that vice, it looks like someone home-made it. Not to mean that there is anything wrong with that, but it looks pretty easy to make such a vice just looking at the construction. Thumbs Up
You would wire wheel or sand before treatment in chemicals. Evaporust is safer and better for the environment and can be used over an over again. Came out great.
I’ve realized there are two types of people that watch these videos: the ones who have find them relaxing but also have advise, and the ones who just find them relaxing and know nothing about these things (me). Edit: I have little knowledge about these things.
Hallo AJ goed om weer iets van jou te sien ja Evaporust is seker beter maar is nog van die Oude soos en gebruik maar nog suur . Jy het nog n beter ding en dit is sandblasting. Mooi dag vir jou
That pin you put in the screw shaft is a design problem. It will wear against the jaw frame as you turn the screw out, and eventually fail. It needs a washer between the pin and the jaw frame.
I agree. In the video, it did not look like there was any space. The only alternative I could see would be to remove the washer on the other side of the screw shaft and put it between the pin and the jaw frame.

I would love that!
this came out nice...loved the realism of ooops
I like to keep the bloopers in the video, I hate it when everything is so perfect.
Hi buddy i loved this restoration you did a good job 👏👍👍👍 like.
Also, you can reuse the Evaporust dozens of times. The acid loses its potency fairly quickly.
Plus, just the hazards and hassle of using hydrochloric, if it doesn’t work demonstrably better, makes Evaporust the hands-down winner

Lol that is one alternative use for acid!
Excellent restoration! Those welds tho!!! 😂
A.J. very nice work.. I was surprised u left it in the acid for 24 hrs, but it turned out well...
Looks like a shop class vise. I believe the washer on the spindle goes inside the channel before the pin.
Well Done Mate !👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Cool project 👍 turned out very cool. Very nicely done my friend.
That evaporust is great stuff and it looked like acid worked better but the acid will weaken the iron if left in too long another cool resto
Correct, if you forget about the iron in the acid, and come back it might be gone haha
Nice comparison of the cleaning stage! Great video as always! Stay safe, dude!
Thanks Andy! 👍 I appreciate the comment!
Beautiful restoration good job
A very good Job Love it ❤️👍❤️
Nice restore mate 💪
That vice looks like it's been either an apprentice piece....or someone's made it in their spare time...
🇬🇧🙂
Good job ,AJ ,you did'it well !!! And it was so relaxing watching this video !!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
👍👍👍👍😘good restore
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Great project. Nice when you learn something along the way. Thanks for the acid vs Evaporust comparison. I’m a fan of Evaporust too.
That looks like a heavy duty vise, nice one to have.

This vise really has the bare minimum amount of features necessary to be able to say "yep that's a vise"
Another vise to add to the shop.
Good video,interesting looking vice,almost looks homemade.should be good little vice for work shop.👍👍👍😎😎😎
I think it is home made actually

Handtoolrescue has a 55 gallon drum of Evaporust that he uses all the time.
I hopefully will also have a small drum full of it.
Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
Great Work!!!👍😁
Gute Arbeit! Danke fürs Video!
I wonder, if you blued it and then painted over the blue, would it be like a super paint?
Nice result with this basic Vice, but can you do next time something with very ugly welds? Maybe it's just me, but these anoint the he'll out of me.
You would wire wheel or sand before treatment in chemicals.

Came out great.
Super
a liter of Evapo Rust in Brazil costs approximately 14 dollars
Excelente trabalho. Parabéns 👏👏🇧🇷
AJ: That's your warning Don't scratch the metal okay. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️🚫🚫🚫🚫

7:00 Exactly, because it was not in contact with the acid🤷♂️
Hallo AJ goed om weer iets van jou te sien ja Evaporust is seker beter maar is nog van die Oude soos en gebruik maar nog suur . Jy het nog n beter ding en dit is sandblasting. Mooi dag vir jou
Niks wen die sandblasting nie!
That pin you put in the screw shaft is a design problem. It will wear against the jaw frame as you turn the screw out, and eventually fail. It needs a washer between the pin and the jaw frame.
I tried to put a washer in between but there was no space at all.
I agree. In the video, it did not look like there was any space. The only alternative I could see would be to remove the washer on the other side of the screw shaft and put it between the pin and the jaw frame.
@@AJRestoration it because there is only supposed to be 1 washer. You put it on the wrong side.
The acid is dirt cheap and you only need a small amount.
Why go so fast on the sand blasting that is my favorite part.
I should have slowed it down a little, sorry about that, I will slow the next one down for you.
Great job polishing that turd!!! Nice work, but that vice is a real cheap piece of junk.👍
Sandblast wins
A did better than e know you now a kicked rust in the arse😂
Too much emphasis on the rust removal. Just pick your favourite, use it and recommend it. Simple!
6:38 "Slight oxidation on the part that was cleaned with the acid" because they don't neutralize it in water and baking soda🤷♂️
