Restoration of 18 inch Bahco adjustable wrench

- Restoration of 18 inch Bahco adjustable wrench number 0675. I will do a lot of sandblasting, powder coating and polishing metal to mirror blank when i restore this Bahco tool.
And I will continue the ASMR feeling in this restoration video too. So, NO music and NO talk while working.
I bought this adjustable wrench on the internet here in Sweden for like 20$. Bahco is made in Sweden, so there is a lot of different types of Bahco wrenches and tools to get here for a fair price. This 18 inch wrench is a really nice heavy-duty quality tool.
The wrench was not that rusty, so I loaded the sandblaster with soft to medium sand (old well used sand) to achieve smoother result when sandblasting on the wrench. This time I only used 100 PSI (normally I sandblast at 120 psi) on my air compressor.
I removed some craters from the wrench with a soft metal file and sandpaper.
I wanted the jaws on the wrench to be mirror blank, so I used an angel grinder on them with soft cleaning disc, 120, 360 and after that I used water polish paper grid 1000/1500.
I polished the jaws to mirror blank on my bench polishing machine.
I did special powder coating on the wrench. I used a red RAL 3000 glossy. Then added black compounding wax to the raw metal to achieve that black old tool look and at the same time protect the wrench from rusting. So it's really a win win and for me this was a perfect restoration with a perfect end result. This it going to look good in my shop.

Thanks for watching my restoration video. See you next week.
Best regards, Martin
By restoring this wrench, you improved its status from "One can't simply use it" to "One wouldn't want to use it"
Great comment. 👏
Excellent videography! No babbling on, just showing your painstaking work. Thanks!
Thanks David :)
Your video reminded me how my 8" vanadian chrome adjustable wrench is my favorite tool of all time. What a clever design. I never knew there was a bolt-like inner piece keeping the jaws aligned. Ingenuity and finely crafted to fit the hand, plus I have countless plumbing and automotive projects completed. Thank you!
I bought a 15" in 1978 and it's still going strong. Good engineering lasts a lifetime. Nice job.

This is probably among my most favourite. Such tools serve us well and they deserve the pristine restoration you give them. Keep up the great work!
This guy really does a great job. He is an expert at using the right tool at the right time. Great video.

First class restoration. I have owned and used Bahco wrenches for over forty years, definitely my favourite.
thanks a lot - they are high quality tools :)
I do enjoy watching a good sandblasting very much. Seeing old, tarnished or out right rusted metals come back to life is special. Seeing that "as new" gleam is fantastic. Once restored they deserve to be treasured.
THANK YOU for the complete absence of hideous backing music!

Broooo . Hahaha. Nothing but facts
I have a couple of older bahco adjustable wrenches and they are definitely worth restoring, the quality of them is excellent!

Those buffer wheels are fantastic to have around.
Great job.
You gave much younger tools some vintage charm.
Awesome... even a « simple tool ».
Great restauration
Thank you for bringing life to ancient tool... bringing memories back and preserving héritage...
👍
One of the shiniest looking adjustable hammers I’ve ever seen
So am not the only one whi use this tool as hammer 🤣
Apprentice welders like to use combination torches, especially the tips.
@@corymcgrath5652 so does your mom she just like the tip
This was a really cool resto, you are one of very few people that I watch do this kind of work that knows how to use a file correctly. Great job, and thank you for another great vid.
I'm really glad that you like my videos. Thanks for watching. 👌
What’s wrong with how others use a file? Serious question not being a dick lol
Files cut in one direction
If these restoration videos have taught me anything it's that you can make anything look better with a sand blaster
Best adjustable wrenches ever. People saying it's cheaper to buy one... remember that this size is about £85/$100!
I remember as a kid finding old tools like that I wish I could restore. I need to get me some equipment. 🙂
👍👍👍🥂
Literally any dirty piece:
This guy: so anyways i started sandblasting
What's patina?
@@SweetnLulz ?
I never seen a painted adjustable wrench 🔧 before !! Whatever he paints it with will be outstanding !!! Great 👍 Job !!
Thanks 👍
Just want to say not only do I appreciate your videos, but also the fact you try to interact with as many fans as possible. I will spread the word of your channel as much as I can.
I appreciate that, thanks a lot :)
I like blue, but it's also beautiful in red colour! I love it, well done! 👍👍👍😊😊😊
Thanks... yes blue is a really nice color too 👌😉
That’s a badass adjustable right there!
Bacho is the company who invented this type of adjustable wrench. Awesome quality tools. Awesome video as well 😀👏
Thanks Simon👍
BAHCO Sweden Enköping here! Multiple family and friends worked on the BAHCO factory back in the day. Great video 👌🏻
Yes Stefan -its the best Thanks for watching 😉👍
I look forward to these each week! Excellent work! I think the gloss black would have looked really good with the polished jaws. Red turned out well too,
Thanks for watching. Yes black is always classic - glad that you liked it 😉
Man, just listen to all of the jealous hens on here! peck peck peck. Excellent job! That'll look sweet in any toolbox it'll fit. Carry on!
Thanks Philip 👍👍👌
Carry on, aye Gunny!
Да, Брат это было бесподобно!!! Очень красивый и функциональный получился инструмент!!! Ты превзошёл самого себя!!! Здорово и круто!!😎😉🙂☺😀😄🙄💪👌👏🖒👍🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Massive vise for a massive wrench. I'm impressed with how many tools you have at your disposal. Your restored items are always better than the originals.
thank you so much :)
Wow! Really cool. I have become addicted to these restoration videos. This may sound silly, but as a new father right before this covid-19 epidemic, i have at times experienced some really bad anxiety and sleeplessness. Watching something that was totally neglected and likely to be discarded getting fixed up is incredibly soothing. Seeing the care and respect that goes into this craft is truly impressive. Thanks for the great content!
Hi Tony, I'm glad you liked my video. And congrats with you newborn baby ❤
Your works are amazing man. Congrats. One of the things that i most like about your restorations Is that you give your unic touch to all of them. Greetings from argentina ❤️
Thanks Dami 👍
Do you know how many people just throw tools out and not restore em. Man.....Brilliant video.
Yes I do - thats where I find most of them ;-) Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 😉👍
I found the screw and pin for a bahco 18”
Shifter 12 years ago in the pit of an iron ore mine in WA and put it in my tool bag last year at my local Sunday market a 18” bahco Shifter without the screw and pin $10 bargin, patience is a virtue!!
Cool I learned something about wet sanding, thanks!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, you do such a great job to restore your projects. I like the touch of red on the handle, nice job.
Glad you like them!
I just love videos like this, just let the mechanical noise do the talking and direct you what’s about to happen.
Great job man. No stupid music just a decent video and these wrenches are the best
,,good resto. we've all had a wrench like that, in some size or manufacturer..great vid...
Thanks :)
Adjustable wrenches have become my favorite hand tools to restore .nice job!!
What is the use of so much labour and expenditure why not buy new one..fool..
Just buy a new one why it takes so much time and effort to restore it.
Lacloidi it’s fun i love restoring stuff because it’s just fun to do
Munir Ahmed because it’s fun I live doing stuff like this
God!
And they say there are no more good artisans out there!
Congratulations man! A work of such high quality deserves respect. The wrench is stunning.
Thank you so much 😀
最近、寝る前に観るのが日課になってきました。日本語字幕があるから分かりやすいです😊
これからも動画楽しみにしてます♪
You guys rock. Marty and Moog, I'm a huge MCM fan. Can't wait for the next project car!
Loved watching this. Red was the right colour.
Thanks. Yes red is very nice 😉 👌
Never thought i would utter this phrase: that is a beautiful wrench.
The red was a nice contrast though i would love to see the blue a coat next to the old metal finish.
Favorite part was the mirror versus matte finish at the jaws. Stunning.
Thank you so much I'm glad you liked it :)
That was very relaxing to watch. Never thought I'd enjoy watching such a video. The minimalist sound track was a refreshing choice that works really well. Nicely done
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! That was impressive! 👏
Thanks :)
НИ ЧЕГО СЕБЕ КЛЮЧИК!!! 😱🔧 Я ТАКИХ БОЛЬШИХ НИКОГДА НЕ ВИДЕЛА. 🔧 КРУТО ПОЛУЧИЛОСЬ. КАК НОВЫЙ. 🤘👍
Я б тебе показал еще больший "ключик",боз 😉
он и не был старым

Bahco, the top choice of UK plumbers 👍🏼
Поражают некоторые комментарии, особенно русскоязычных пользователей, мол какой смысл заморачиваться так, это инструмент, проще новый купить......Прекрасное, качественное видео с первоклассной работой мастера с золотыми руками, который своим трудом делает из старого хлама произведение искусства. Да, этот ключ можно было просто смазать и он работал бы точно так же, но мастер явно получает удовольствие от процесса, а мы - от созерцания этого процесса и результата
thank you so much :)
This guy: Restores wrench better than the original.
Me: Stops after WD 40 doesn't work...
I'm with you on that 😀🇬🇧
I got a lesser brand to work again by soaking it in some motor oil for a week.
Rob LaPierre lol that’s me too
Lol
Vinegar would take that right off soak it and done
my body @ 2 a.m. : allright, just shut your eyes dude, we need some sleep. my brain : this tool needs sandblasting!
As a plumber. You definitely touched my heart. Although a dry lube is best so u dont get that crap all over your hands and have dust and dirt bind the mechanisms.
Absolutely stunning though!
thank you so much :)
@@AwesomeRestorations you're more than welcome sir.

" Now who ever uses my wrench dont forget to put it away. I am getting a little tired restoring it every time it gets left outside!"
I’ve never looked at tools as art before, 🤔 but I’d love that wrench on my wall 😁👍
The old cast iron wrench! Never got jammed!
These videos are great and terrible for trying to sleep. They make me so relaxed, but I dont want to close my eyes and miss out on the sand blasting!
❤ thanks
Looks really good!!! Probably would have picked grey.
Choose the color
Me: red, red, red, red
Leave in the comments
Me: nooooo
Today I will choose red
Me: yaaaaaaaaayyyy
I love red too. Im confused when he pick red
@@lukaputnik2253 to hide the blood of his enemies
Red is my rav color too
Yeeesss!! My reaction too 😝
Love the sandblasting part,so satisfying
I really enjoy watching your craftsmanship and skill. So relaxing to watch. Looking forward to more of your adventures
Thank you very much!
Bahco wrenches adjust in the opposite direction from Crescent wrenches and every other adjustable wrench in the world are maddening to use.
Not just fabulous restoration work, but also eco friendly. Restore and reuse. I would extremely pleased to achieve similar.
Well done ✔ Subscribed
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 😉👍
738 people are tool snobs and probably whining about it not being an old Craftsman or newer Snap-On . That's an awesome old wrench . Great job
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 😉👍
when the person knows what makes the result is this .... perfect 🙌✨
Thanks honey 😘 I really appreciate it 😉👍
hi marty i'm joseph i've watched everyone of your videos as well as subcribed ,i look forward to more of you videos ,,thank you so much for a great chanel .
Thanks for watching, subscribing and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍
Хуиня
... Gotta be a "blast" having those skills.
I figured RED was the way to go....í would have picked BLUE just for kicks.
Great restoration. A lot of tools today will bend when you put the least bit of pressure on them. Absolute %$@#! I much prefer the older tools that are robust even if they are a bit rusty! Beautiful and so much attention to detail! Love your channel.
Very nice restoration. It looks just like it should not over the top, but now a very usable adjustable spanner. Great job.
Glad you like it
“Wet sanding gives less scratches” proceeds to bang the metal twice 😂 excellent restoration
Sand blast even better
Use glass bead for blasting, gives a much smoother result.
Thank's for you advice... 👌 Yes glass bread gives super result - I have just revived some 😉
That wrench is a work of art now.
My fav channel ❤
Все ждал, когда же вы достанете огромную стеклянную банку с песком и засуните туда ключ и тески и вообще все :)
Isso ai meu garoto, você é o cara!!! 👍👍👍
This actually inspired me to restore that old wrench i have, good pastime during quarantine too
I'm really glad to hear that :)
Better than the original. That about sums it up. What a satisfying process to watch, and what an admirable result. Inspirational.
thanks a lot
I find it easier to bake the powder coat with the masking tape still on, and peel it off afterwards for sharper lines.
To the wrench, That guy is an angel handling it and preparing it for an eternal resurrection in wrench-heaven..
Restorations with no family drama, amazing.
Absolute hard work. No issue. Great job brother. Appriciate ur patience of restoring abundened things
Thanks 👍
Great job. The finish looked amazing. I would have chosen the dark blue colour for powder coating
Hey Martin .. Thanks for watching. Yes the dark blue is really nice to. 👍😉
Молодец!!! Вопрос зачем❓
That is one very good quality wrench. I like the black or blued finish on the main body. Durable and traditional.
My doughter and I just were amazed by you, awesome!
thank you so much David :)
Restoration? Pff it was brand new :>
Ha ha... Yes now it is 😉
Agreed
He's got an old bathtub out the back full of 'old' 'ancient' 'antique' tools that are nearly new but looking a bit brown, to restore. There was zero wear on any part of that tool, now you can't use it!
This guy: *restores*
Me: *buys another one*
Time is money,i'm sorry...
Lazy ass
There’s no pride in craftsmanship when you just fork over your money 🤷🏼♀️
@@MareShoop typical of lazy ass . Only want big bucks but didn't want to break a sweat to earn it
I charge $30/hr to do the work with the wrench, and this wrench is $80 - that's being generous - and he probably spent 3+ hours to fix it. By fixing this wrench rather than buying a new one I would lose money. The saving grace for him is that the videoing of the restoration is this guys job. Hell he probably just put a band new one in a salt water bath. Buying a new one rather than restoring isnt necessarily lazy. Not taking care of the tool in the first place is.
Und wieder einmal absolut umwerfendes Ergebnis! Daumen hoch dafür... 😉👍 super finde ich auch, dass du deine Hilfsmittel (welche Polierpaste du nutzt etc.) und Werkzeuge so detailliert beschreibst. Und wie immer top erzählt mit schönen Kamera-Einstellungen und Schnitten...
thank you so much I really appreciate it :)
My man with the powder coat finish!!!!
Sempre um trabalho impecável, parabéns.
obrigado :)
После того как wd 40 попшикал восстановление можно заканчивать
Да
Сергей Зубков несколько полировок вообще излишне
У нас могло остановиться на том что солидолом смазал и молотком расходил
Это точно
Мне интересно почему он сразу не выкрутил? Быстрее было бы!
I love that you don't talk over the awesome videos
Glad you like them!
My man! I choose the red as well. Good on ya!
Не такие они и ушатаные. Просто слегка ржавые.
Арт Ст полнлсть согласен, новые просто завалялись на складе , в углу , износа нет не на одной детали
Купил сегодня за 350 рублей чуть меньше размером, видос видоса ради.
@@ekaneev111 хорошую работу, нахрен не нужно 90 процентов этой работы, не вижу смысла полировать до блеска рабочие поверхности и прочие части это не инструмент а зеркало на себя любимого любоваться
В воду на месяц бросили новый ключ, вот и всё, контент то надо снимать😅
В керосин на ночь, с утрища дальше работать. Делов то.
🇧🇷 o melhor do mundo 👍🏻
I can't believe I had only commented on one of your video's before! I've watched all of you video's now. This one was the last one to complete the series. You are the best! You do the best work and are head and shoulders above all the other restoration channels. In my opinion. Love your work!! You are Awesome!!! :)
Thanks honey for watching and for your very kind words.... It really mean alot to me 😘 have a nice day 😉 cheers 🥂
Impossible not to appreciate the result 🙌🙌🙌
many thanks :)
Wow so satisfying!! 😯 Why would you paint it though?!🙈🙈 (Just a matter of personal taste haha)
AR: let's restore this wrench with surface rust.
Everybody: who would fully restore a wrench?
Everybody 13 minutes later: I should send my wrenches in for restoration.
lol
Brother you take lots of efforts to make this junk adjustable wrench into beautiful useful tool..
Really appreciate your hard work..☺️
Thank you very much!
Respect yet again. Fabulous quality work. An ugly faulty tool has become a desirable functioning one.
