outstanding Magdad!

Thanks Big Vic!

I like the look of just the sanding belts In the last Ad picture there is a small signal lantern I have one hanging in my shed

[@357magdad]

The pliers looked pretty good after the 120 grit belt!

Hi Magdad , Nice Job 👍 As Usual . It's Funny I Just Got A Pair of Needle Nose Pliers Myself . A Klein 310-6C . No Longer in Production . Mine Were Rusted Shut Too. Paid A 1.00 at the Flea Market ! Restored.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Wayne! Nice job rescuing those Kleins!

[@chriholt]

Very nice, as always!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Chris!

[@ScoutCrafter]

That has to be the best Evaporust challenge entry I have ever seen…. 😃👍

Thanks ScoutCrafter! There have been a lot of great entries!

Well done

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Christopher!

[@shedmanx3640]

A great restoration mate. Nothing more satisfying than oozing gunk from the pivot point on a pair of pliers/cutters, etc.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Shed Man! Watching the liquid patina ooze out of the pivot is very satisfying!

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

Wood, Brass, and Blued Steel lol.

Thanks Gary!

[@garageshopminnesota]

Beautiful work! Do you have a fiber wheel on both sides of your Craftsman grinder?

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I do have two fiber wheels on that grinder. They were supposed to be different grits, but the difference is hardly noticeable.

[@johnkelley9877]

Wow! The pilers were an incredible mess but it looks great now! I like the bluing on the handle as it gives a nice contrast to the restored and polished surfaces. Thanks for sharing this.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! The Evapo-Rust challenges are fun!

[@beerdrinker6452]

Nice video. This is the type of tool clean up i do most often, but I cannot do it as well as you can.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! It's fun making rusty junk useful again!

[@williammcguire3rd]

Turned out great. Love the blued handles. Ozzed patina lol. 👍🔪👊🔥🍻

Thanks WM3! Watching that liquid patina ooze out of the pivot is very satisfying!

Hopefully that satisfied Chuck’s itch till next time.

[@rawbacon]

I had a brand new pair of Linesman Pliers that were shiny and new on the outside but "Patina" on the inside.......After a soak in WD-40 they work great, who would think that new pliers could be rusty on the inside and pristine on the outside.

[@357magdad]

I guess the manufacturer didn't lube them during assembly.

[@MrPhil1969]

That's such a great feeling when they go from siezed to falling open. Great restoration.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I have a fetish for oozing patina!

“Oozing Patina” is my new favorite heavy metal band name.

Next time I show the patina ooze, I'll have to have some heavy metal playing!

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Looking good Magdad... they're probably better than most of what you could buy today. And definitely look better.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I think they are gonna be my everyday users.

Nicely done Bud!! I like the addition of the music, perfect selection and volume!! I'm sure the Mrs. had something to do with that!!☻

[@jackthompson2132]

Very nice job Magdad! Thank You for sharing

[@357magdad]

Thanks Jack!

[@johnfix1]

Very nice restoration. I like how the blued handles improved the finished look. I have a Flitz question. My jar has turned into a complete liquid. I have to stir to combine ingredients each time I use it but it remains runny. Is this normal? My tubes never did this as they remain a paste.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! My jar has done the same thing! I have to mix it like paint every time I use it. It seems to still work well though.

[@KirkCarrillo]

Great job. The two-tone is a very nice touch.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Kirk!

[@michaeltreadwell777]

WOW, your idea of putting heat shrink on those wire wheels - GENIUS !

[@357magdad]

The concentrated bristles do a nice job in tight spots and around lettering!

@@357magdad A great reuse of another tool! I'm doing it today for a future task.

[@darrellboyd]

I've got a pair of the exact same pliers. Also frozen shut, I'll have to try your technique to get them open again. Thanks

[@357magdad]

Give Evapo-Rust a try! Harbor Freight sells the quart size. Pick some up next time you have a coupon!

[@gromeca1]

After a tool has been de-rusted, what is the best thing to put on the bare metal to prevent future rust. I’ve tried clear spray lacquer, dulls the finish. Tried WD-40, doesn’t last. What do you use?
Great channel, outstanding work.

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! If I'm going to store or display the project I give it several coats of paste wax. If the tool is going to be a user, I soak it in oil or CLP and wipe it down.

[@waynemiracle8928]

We’re those a pair of needle nose pliers? When you got done with them they looked like a surgical instrument! Great Job as always MagDad! Also thanks for revealing your image in one of your earlier videos! I just knowing who the great is making the videos. Now we need to work on Tom Gunn! 😊

[@357magdad]

Thanks Wayne!

[@joeheilm]

Those sure did come out great! I love the heat shrink idea on the wire brush. Excellent work. Cheers

[@357magdad]

Thanks Joe! The concentrated wires really get into the nooks and crannies!

[@Dalesworkshop]

Tell me more about the fiber wheel, do you prefer it over the cloth polishing wheel? Great job on the pliers.

[@357magdad]

Joe's Shop introduced us all to the fiber wheel. I wouldn't say it replaces polishing, but it can give a decent finish. I've got a video review: th-cam.com/video/JGoTHGXOJuY/w-d-xo.html

[@mrbenmall]

Lovely job, of course. :)

[@357magdad]

Thanks Ben!

[@stevenb.182]

The fiddle music.......was that Chuck's idea...???

[@357magdad]

Chuck is more of a classic rock fan.

[@dianemoore2945]

Another great job. That a is a slick touch you did with the blue stuff next to the polished surface, nice. Makes me want to go polish my pliers! Tell Chuck he works too hard, polishing al those little grip lines!😂

[@357magdad]

Thanks Diane! Chuck loves to polish!

[@ianstools4929]

Awesome video magdad! They came out phenomenal! Never heard of Rugol before but they look pretty good quality.

Thanks Ian! Rugol was a new one for me too!

[@Resto-Rob]

Awesome! They look fantastic!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Robert!

[@zartan7779]

I have set of pliers and they were seized up. I tried wd40 with no luck so I happen to have used motor oil from my riding mower. I soaked it in there for 2 weeks can out moving freely.

[@357magdad]

I've had really good luck freeing up rusted tools with with Evapo-Rust!

[@alpine1600s]

I have some knives that would look great with that permablue. 👍

[@357magdad]

I've had better luck with Birchwood Casey's Super Blue on hardened steel like knife blades.

[@joesteffens613]

What a great pair of pliers for a restoration like this. The jaws and cutter look unused. At a yard sale, most people would walk passed a rusty, seized up pair of needle nose like these and think they were junk. Your fiber wheel and conditioning belts made them look new again. You’ve proven over and over again that tools like this can be cleaned up and made to be “better than new”. Maybe that can be your new catch phrase. Thanks.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Joe! It is very satisfying bringing rusty junk back to life!

[@foxwood67]

👍

[@Traderjoe]

Outstanding job! I have a few pliers like that that I inherited from my pops. They are great tools. Yours look even better and more versatile than mine.

Those are a good looking set of pliers outside of the rust they hardly looked used.

Thanks Michael! Cleaning up old tools is fun!

[@johnmclaurin]

Love the final bluing…don’t think the previous owner ever used those pliers…the little curved area right under the pivot joint always gives me problems, nice to know about the belts you use….fun video!

[@357magdad]

Thanks John! I've also had good results with the edge of the fiber wheel on those curved areas.

[@ydocproductions5593]

That’s definitely a complete transformation! Those would’ve been destined for the scrap heap. Looks like they were used maybe once or twice and then tossed aside for years and years. They really look great and the blueing was a nice edition.

Thanks! It is satisfying saving rusty junk!

[@Toad1973.]

Nice job. I really like the handles.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! The design of the handles is what attracted me to them at the flea market.

[@OutlawEdge]

Wow! The polished look with the blued handles is awesome!! Beautiful work as usual bro 👍 on your wall I’ve seen displays of tools that you have restored in the past, but do you put some of these tools in your toolbox and use them on a every day basis? If you do would you have time to do a toolbox tour of the tools that you have restored? That would be cool to see that. Hope you and your family are doing amazing.

[@ihrescue]

On display again the nice look of polished finish and blued finish on some tools. I do like your approach to not wasting the Evaporust when a quick knock off with the wire wheel can get so much of it off. Reduces your costs. So many tools to rescue, so little time.

You definitely have an eye for detail. Those pliers are beautiful. I need to get myself one of those skinny belt sanders. I mainly restore framing and trim hammers, and I occasionally make things from scratch. You are very talented and you do excellent work.
