- Adjustable wrench restoration. Super rusty old wrench that was left outside for at least 2 years, and presumed lost. I found it again whilst clearing some weeds! It isnt that old although it looked vintage with the rust! I decided to clean it up so i can use it again! not restored, more of a remake. Fix it restore it!

Superb hard work with much interest this gentleman has put to shine this wrench back
Don’t listen to the negative comments, a rusty pos put back into service is a win! Thumbs up
Trust me I don't 😉 and thank you!
@@FixitRestoreit what is the name of the dluid you used to get rust off
@@iancameron1662 That was just plain old hydrochloric acid also called muriatic acid
Yup back in service and best of all you didn’t have to go buy a new one

I'm surprised you didn't take it completely apart to remove all the rust, but it came out really good. Still, just a warning, there's rust under the rubber and it'll eventually weaken the metal.
EDIT: That said, I subscribed, keep it coming!
Weaken the metal???...……….lol
Whys that funny john?

I agree with one of your posters that there is probably rust underneath the rubber. Removing it might be prudent. You can re-do it with plasti-dip or similar when it's done, or Crescent company may have replacement grips for sale. Also the knurled piece is held on by a screw you can access in the bottom hole usually. It makes it easier to clean when you dismantle the tool completely. Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you!

Wow!! That’s amazing! Watched this video just to try to get one I found in the ditch un-seized
Thank you!

Thank you for this. Hard work is fun to watch especially when a problem arises... Also, the breathing kept cracking me up. 🤣
Fun video!
Glad you liked it 😊!

Good job fixing up that old wrench! I wouldn't call it a restoration though.
Thank you!

Great job getting the wheel to move. I’ve got one a lot worse than that. Nice restoration.
Thank you! The design of this particular wrench is stupid, you would have to drill it out to remove it so i was glad when i got it freed up!

Great job. The fastest adjustable spanner in the world!👍🇬🇧
Thank you, yes it is lol!

Worked perfectly..thank you!!!
You're welcome 😎
Jesus mate how do you stay inspired to do these videos with so many armchair experts telling you what you did wrong like it was some kind of rare one off tool. They seem to forget that 5 minutes ago those same experts would have been saying it’s to far gone chuck it in the bin.
I like your videos and while I might do it a different way I don’t feel I have the right to criticise what you do when I don’t have my own channel.
It’s obvious you’re young but with the tools, skills and patience you have already your well on your way. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Thank you! And it's a lesson in having thick skin and not worrying about people's "expert" opinion 😎😂

Awesome! This Friday I launch an update to this video, check it out!

If you heat the screw that holds the roller in place with a torch, they are fairly easy to unscrew. Just for future reference. Nice job.
Please look out for a video from me in the next two weeks or so, I just re - restored this wrench and I think you will be amazed!!!!!

Why didnt you put oil on all the threads instead of just the ends? The threads turn, and rub against the movable jaw which opens and closes the wrench. Also, oil down inside the jaw would have been a good idea too. Just put oil on the entire thing and take it apart. A hammer does more damage than it helps.
ok, thank you for your input
Kerry Clark it was evident in the video that the jaws were not binding, they were loose therefore the adjustable thread was seized. Some light taps with a hammer sometimes free up seizing. Heat may have been a better option but if like me, I don’t have a heat gun or oxy set, you work with what you’ve got.
Good resto work to a usable tool again. I like that the patina was not completely lost.
@@shedmanx3640 Thank you shed man x! Sometimes it's not worth bothering to say something that's so apparent if you watch the video like you did 😎

What would be nice is if you let the viewer know what stuff you are using in the various steps? If you don't want to talk in your video that is fine, but at least put what chemicals, products, etc. you are using on the screen. Otherwise, it's purely a video about showing how you cleaned up a wrench, but no use to anyone trying to do the same.

Nice. I'd suggest you a channel named 'My mechanics'.
I would suggest a redo

...be careful with that wire wheel getting fingers close...they have an uncanny knack of suddenly grabbing your workpiece(the wrench in this case), and taking your fingers in with it...very nasty wound, takes off skin at best, lots of meat at worst :( ...don't ask how I know...
It's grabbed me a few times!
I generally remove that rubber grip . But see it can be cleaned up now .
I have a follow up video where I cut the rubber off, check it out ☺️
Very good job done by you keep it up my dear
Thank you 😊
Great job thanks for sharing 🍺👍👍👍👍
Your welcome!

Why didn't you remove the set screw and take it completely apart ?? There is still rust on the inside.
it isnt a set screw
I just re did this wrench, it's awesome now! th-cam.com/video/Bd_y5g3N1Xw/w-d-xo.html
Great job
thank you so much!
I’m surprised you didn’t remove the covering on the handle. I’m guessing there is a ton of rust just sitting there, munching away on the metal. Still, looks good.
Ive redone this tool, look for a video in the next 2 weeks or so 🤓
I just re did this wrench, it's awesome now! th-cam.com/video/Bd_y5g3N1Xw/w-d-xo.html
I would suggest using wd-40 first because it is thinner and will get in cracks and stuff better and then use 3 in1
Yep, I've learned a lot since then, check out my newer videos 😎
Wd-40 is a water displacement, last thing you want on iron unless you want a rust ball
I just re did this wrench, it's awesome now! th-cam.com/video/Bd_y5g3N1Xw/w-d-xo.html
Nice work!
thank you so much!
Just curious as to why you didn't sand it to get rid of all the pitting.
The pitting was extremely deep and didn't want to compromise the strength any further than necessary 😎

Hi, well done, I have a similar hammerhead in my shed but the axe blade is 90 degrees to the handle not inline with it. Have you got any idea what its purpose would have been?
If your referring to the small hammer video, it might be for toffee/candy?
I just re did this wrench, it's awesome now! th-cam.com/video/Bd_y5g3N1Xw/w-d-xo.html
Possibly the world's most misused tool, but we all have at least one.
Very well done, you took a piece of landfill and returned to being a fully functioning tool again.
Thank you so much !

That’s a pretty impressive outcome! What was in the bath at the beginning of the video?
Cool. I’ve done some electrolysis on items I’ve found metal detecting, but this looked much easier!
Acid name ?
Muriatic aka hydrochloric acid

Very nice, I would have taken a propane torch to it to ease up the jaw. Tenacity paid off ;)

WOW, I would have written that wrench off in the beginning. I'll have to remember that trick with the HCL, it worked great!
Me too, I was stunned!

Yes, diesel is also great if not too corroded

How do I fix my adjustable stuck wrench? I put wd 40 and 3 in one oil on it and it won't turn still. Please reply.
Leave it soaking in vinegar for 2 or 3 days should eat the rust, then use a penetrating oil , not wd40. If that doesn't work you will have to use heat on it
How do I use heat on it? Can you reply.

You know I love your shit brother, being that I'm from London, Golders Green to be exact, and also I'm a Spurs fan living in NYC. So we're both fish out of water. All I want to know is why you didn't take the jaw to a belt sander to get rid of all of the pitting on the metal? If would have worked a treat on that resto. Otherwise good on ya mate!!!!🔧🔧👏👏👏 On and God save the Queen!!!
I hear ya brother! The pitting was really deep so I didn't want to destroy the wrench trying to get the pits out. That being said I might revisit this situation in a redo video 😊😉

Where did you purchase Hcl and how much did you dilute it?
Some unorthodox methods, but it all worked out well... good job...

You should have removed the plastic and took the rust off the handle under it. You can always redip that handle. Others have. Now you have a tool with a rusty handle still. Oh well, better luck next time you fix it.
redo on this tool coming in 2 weeks or so!

Have you ever heard of penetrating oil use that in stead of three in one oil workers better
Yes
Cool🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍

What a dud.. rusted up a good wrench and then made a video without commentary cleaning it up. Not cool being fake pal.
Not fake, don't do that on my channel
Why would you not put oil on the jaw from the start. That is what needed to be loosened.
Before putting it in the acid?

HCL = HydroChLoric acid
Dont tap it you will damage d ting a tak out the bolt
