Just a word of caution on the wire brushes with the steel twist wired handle. I have some as ScoutCrafter mentioned and chucked them up in a drill. Used a brush that was for a 22 cal rifle bore like that because it is the perfect size for the space between the cast iron cooling fins on an iron head Sportster cylinder.It works great but I stop doing this when I had one where the brush got caught up in an imperfection in the casting and stopped dead while the drill kept going and just about twisted my hand off. So I still use the brushes but decided I didn't need the efficiency of the drill and just use them manually in my hand. Great video ScoutCrafter.
The restoration was fantastic but the photos of your property were simply beautiful. I especially liked the stream video. Thanks for sharing this, it was a great end to my day.
I always watch restoration videos with bated breath, expecting that something is gonna get jury rigged, or corners cut. But I’m pleased to say in this case, everything was done with high skill, and high quality. Very good job sir.
Crafter...!! You mean you do the double drive because there's not even a cabin to sleep in at that beautiful spot !! Well let's have a good ole scout crafter cabin raisin and"get er done" let's resurrect that old feeling of helping a friend !!! Something to think about my crafter friend ..stay safe...
I love what you did with this wrench. The satin contrast with the texture. The elegance of the pin and the oil grooves, the tolerance on the thumb wheel/pin. Just an elegant repair SC.
I have yet to do a lot of serious tapping of threads. The hint you gave on making sure it is straight, I am sure, just saved me from making a very bad mistake in the future! As always - very nice job! 👍🏻👏
Thanks for the outtake at the end. You surprised me by using the threaded rod BTW. I envisioned you cutting new threads on a piece of stock. That was genius.
Nice job on the Bacho. I have a couple of them they are great. They are not only backwards but metric. They also open wider than a USA made 8 inch adjustable wrench, I believe they are also stronger and I have never seen a broken one. Nice pic of upstate. Thanks John.
Great video from upstate. I really liked how you finished this wrench. When you got done the post wire brush I was saying, please don’t touch the body of the brush it looks great the way it is now and just polish up the jaws. Whew! You must have heard me. It looks great!
The lightning bugs have been out for a week or so here in Ohio. I have been out in the back yard with my four and ten year old for several evenings catching them. Though my four year old likes to call them "blink blinks". It's super cute if I say so myself. The wrench did turn out great!
Funny how things work out. Just got one of these Bahco wrenches, same model but a touch different. Never heard of them. Then you do a video on one within the same week. Very cool. Thanks.
I’m always impressed by your work. Great job, sir!

You have your own piece of paradise, and will have to plant more trees for the button bucks to eat. I have half dozen hens and they love it when I mow the grass, it allows them to get at bugs they usually can not get. We do not have fire flies though.
Good restoration job. Over the years ive seen a couple old wrenches that had the FORD logo on them. probably from model T Fords. Nice nature ending, nice sound of a babbling brook, especially camping near one. Cheers !
The Swedes made some of the finest tool steel. Vintage Berg chisels are the cats pajamas and are highly sought after by woodworkers with deep pockets on the fleaBay. Great video.
@@ScoutCrafter, any chisel or edge tool made in Eskilstuna Sweden are premium, with Anton Berg being the most prominent maker. Fine grained steel and inasmuch as vintage European tools are concerned, probably the most desirable. The Bergs sported a cool shark makers mark and the models with plastic handles were in your favorite color.... red.
Hey Scoutcrafter - thanks for all your great videos! I've learned a lot from them and always look forward to new ones. I would love to see a video showing your grinder/buffer setup - something that shows all the wheels you commonly use, what size grinders/buffers, what speed, and any tips and tricks. Many of us, like me, I'm sure, are looking to set up a grinder/buffer area and I'd love to see how you do it in detail. How many do you need to use fiber wheels, wire wheels, polishing wheels, etc. If this has already been done, maybe somebody could point out which video it's in. Thanks!
Your tool restoration tips are the best. Thanks for saving these great tools. High quality tool steel is a beautiful thing, just like your upstate property, only in a different way. Best regards from the Intermountain West.
Love Bahco spanners, John. There's an urban myth that Bahco invented the adjustable spanner, but they only improved on the original design by Richard Clyburn or Edwin Budding (the inventor of the lawnmower).
no fireflies here in Seattle...but in the early 80's made a visit to Long Island New York,the Hampton Bay area, at night in the summer both the sound and the lite of fireflies...good stuff
Holy smokes, that wrench turned out like you'd find in the store but better! I love the satin look on that. Classy. I always wondered where you got your round brushes. I buy the HF ones and they do okay but get wasted after a couple of uses. You should start a ScoutCrafter page on Amazon!
Love the stream. Sitting outside watching this as it gets dark with a candle lantern giving a nice yellow light. Great stuff John . Got one of those bahcos as well. It’s my plumbing spanner.
Great stuff from the Catskills!! I only saw a deer like that once, in Poland that was. On the pocket in the tumbwheel, it definitely had a spring. I know because I did one (without the alligator back end) and it was constructed exactly the same way. I remember because the tought of losing that spring kept freaking me out. Fun thing is that I saw markings on your jaws that looks a lot like the markings mine has in the handle. I tought those were from they last owner but now I think they might be original. I bought a Keystone Wescott S wrench today. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow, looking forward to it. The thing looked quite interesting.
Love lightning bugs to. Hadn't had them much here in the last few years but this year they showed up. Had several in the yard just about dark. Glad to see they are back. Do you put anything in your viniger? I have not had much luck with it. Maybe not using the best kind. You talked about how blue the sky has been. My son and me were coming home this afternoon and my son said dad look at the sky! It was bright blue and fluffy clouds. Hadn't seen that much since I was a kid. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks
And we're calling this Wednesday done lol. A nice dark summer night looking out across the distance seeing all the lightning bugs is the best ever. Good lord upstate is beautiful 🥰
Lots of great tips as usual, i have a few of these wrenches but, I don't really use them too much. Mine are like a dull grey color, which I assume is the factory finish.
The bees love the clover. Leave it for them for a few weeks! Also, Fireflys are getting less and less. I live in the country in VA and we have seen but a smattering it seems. Help them out if you can!
I'm not sure if this model had the spring... Sometimes they use the same thumbwheel for multiple wrenches. If I had another to compare I could tell... Thanks !
I have a set of gage blocks, but not the pin gage set. Had to read up on the plus, minus, M0, and M1 nomenclature. I will have to keep an eye out for a set at Jacktown, hopefully at the July show, if it goes as scheduled. And I didn't realize about the lefty option. I am left handed, so I notice many things that are right hand oriented to which I must adapt. Nice restoration and good tips. Thanks.
Nice work John. I haven’t used one of those alligator jaws so I was hoping for a demo to see if they are any good. The way that #25 drill went through the original hole I’m betting the original hole would be metric. Probably 4 x .7 but I don’t suppose you’re going to have to many metric screws hanging around. How long does it take to get to your property up state? It seems funny to see a deer looking at you as down under you would expect a wallaby or kangaroo or maybe a wombat staring back at you.😂😂. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Stuart- I tried my metric thread checkers and none worked... I’m glad the hole was a bit oversized because the wrench was already hardened and tapping is tricky! Takes me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get to my property... 😃👍
you need to be THERE instead of where you are but it ain't instant. Good wrench but I'm terribly right handed.mThanjs, JohnnCS! I saw the 1st lightning bug here a couple of weeks ago. we like them a lot and happy turning over on the down side of the week day too! And I mowed!
@@ScoutCrafter I hope the do but the bees do and REALLY like to see those little guys running around and the 50/50 is a DREAM! Loosened up a throttle cable and linkage in Cheryl's old Craftsman mower made in 85! NOW I can haul stuff! My 42 is too big to go through a 4 foot gate. Hers is a 38. Hasn't been started in several years since I got the Big Boy! NOW it returns to active service! But not us. Done had Enough of that! Blessings 2 U!
I have some bahco tools are they any good some people say they are good some Say not so good the wrench came up great the steel looks to be good fantastic video Scout god bless take care 🗽🇳🇿🙏👏👍
Another great video John, I was wondering if you could recommend a treatment for an old wooden handle victorinox serrated kitchen knife. The handle whilst still tight is very very dry. (Schoolboy error washing it in the dishwasher), maybe danish oil??
Most oils are very good at rejuvenating wood that has dried out... Danish oil, Teak oil, Tung oil and Lemon oil all do wonders! A good tip is fill a jar with some oil and submerge the handle and let it sit until the handle absorbs as much oil as it wants! =D
Awesome job on that wrench, thankfully the newer bahco adjustables are set up the correct (American) way lol, I just did a review on one of their newer pocket size adjustables on my channel, you should check it out I feel like you would appreciate it
In one of the shots I saw you had a small spring on the bench. Did you end up putting that in or not? What was the reason to use it or not? As always it was a great project.
Hi Tom- No spring on this one... The tolerance is very tight and no spring is needed. Sometimes there is a gap that has to be filled with some wrenches but this one is fine! Thanks!
One day, you will put ScoutCrafter Red on your lips! =P Fun Fact: Many years ago, the value of deer hides was worth 1 US Dollar to fur traders. Eventually, the term 'Buck" was used for a US Dollar Bill.
Greetings John, A while back, you used a jig that basically was a block of steel with a “V” notch in it and a few other detents that would allow to drill a strait hole through round stock. I was looking for it in your past videos but haven’t been able to find it. Would you please give me the proper name for this jig? Thank you. After all these years I’m finally getting a drill press. Thanks for your help. Take care and stay healthy
ScoutCrafter Greetings John, it was something like that but it didn’t have the clamp. It had the v notch and a few other detents in this block of steel. I’m thinking it was some type of jig. But you have got me on the right track for hunting this thing down. Thank you for taking the time to look this up.
I've seen these alligator ends on wrenches and could never visualize a use for that style. What is it's purpose. I find your tool restorations quite eye appealing.
@@ScoutCrafter What's to understand? Jam a piece of pipe in it and if the teeth are in good shape they'll grab it as you turn. They come from before someone thought to put teeth on a monkey wrench and invented the adjustable pipe wrench.
When a buck (male deer) is young they start to grow horns, in the very beginning the horns are so small they look like buttons on his head. Later on they grow a few inches and the button buck becomes a spiked buck... =D
@@ScoutCrafter thank you! Also thank you for all the great videos! I am sure my wife is tired of hearing "Scoutcrafter here!" But I am not. Matter of fact I went out and bought a buffer/grinder from Harbor Freight!
This may be a stupid question, but what would happen if you turn the knurled bit over, and reinstall it upside down, wouldn't that open/close it in the opposite way?
Not a stupid question at all! I tried it! LOL The teeth of the thumbwheel is cut to match the angle of the teeth cut into the moving jaw... Their are only a few adjustable wrenches that operate the way these Bahco wrenches do... It is only a problem if you own both types. =D
I have to ask one question I wanted to ask since I know this channel, why don't you use electrolysis to remove all the rust includes hard to reach spots...
I suppose the thread of that pin was a metric one, so of course it's unusual for the US ;-) Nominal diameter and the pitch of the threads are of interest, both in mm. But you'll have only two types per diameter, fine and course. But sometimes there are some variations. For example nominal diameter 8mm, course it would have a pitch of 1.25mm. The fine one can be 1mm but also 0.75mm. And if it's a standard screw you can see the type of thread by the tool you require to fasten/loosen it. For example you require a 16mm open-end wrench, then it is propably a M10 (mm) thread. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread#Spanner_(wrench)_sizes That model is still in production by the way, on german Amazon it's 32.77 Euros (36.84 USD). The most funny thing, they write in the headline that the length is 8"... www.amazon.de/Bahco-Black-Adjustable-Wrench-8IN/dp/B0001IX8SC/ref=sr_1_13?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=3TAYD9TEBDJXN&dchild=1&keywords=bahco+rollgabelschl%C3%BCssel&qid=1592437296&sprefix=bahco+roll%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-13
I tried my metric thread checkers and none would fit... Starrett was notorious for using specialty threads in all their tools... Many vintage tool companies used special threading for certain tools they made. It makes no sense to me to spend big money trying to obtain or buy tooling to reproduce their special threading... Common threads for everyone! =D
John your idea to put clips with the nature.. green.. trees etc... is so relaxing.
Just a word of caution on the wire brushes with the steel twist wired handle. I have some as ScoutCrafter mentioned and chucked them up in a drill.

The wrench came out great!
The restoration was fantastic but the photos of your property were simply beautiful. I especially liked the stream video. Thanks for sharing this, it was a great end to my day.
Being a southpaw myself I appreciate your respect and careful restoration of this handy old lefty wrench. Excellent work!
I always watch restoration videos with bated breath, expecting that something is gonna get jury rigged, or corners cut. But I’m pleased to say in this case, everything was done with high skill, and high quality. Very good job sir.
Could've left that stream footage running for an hour so I could take a nap.
Indeed, so calm and soothing!! Great way to end an awesome video!
Love the idea of putting the drill in the hole to get it set square in the vise.
Cheers. 👍🇦🇺

Hey Daniel, Thanks so much!!! 😃👍
Had no clue a 'pin gauge' set existed. Need to pick up a set! Thanks for the content!
They are a bit pricy but come in so handy! Shars has good stuff!
Hello my friend, what a beautiful piece of land there. can't wait to see what you will build up there. stay safe thanks for the good videos.
Great job.. Classic stuff 👍
That Bahco is awesome. Great job.
So happy for you that you’re moving upstate I hope you build a shop and make videos we love your videos great job on the ranch thank you scout
Nice, John!! I did my Bahco in Swedish colours - Abe likes blue, so that fits!! Upstate looks great - I'd move there 😄👍🏻🛠️
Looks nice, Bahco make the best wrenches 🛠👍😊
Those left handed wrench drive me crazy....🤣. Great stuff. Cheers
Joe- So much so I refuse to use them!!!!!
I have yet to do a lot of serious tapping of threads. The hint you gave on making sure it is straight, I am sure, just saved me from making a very bad mistake in the future! As always - very nice job! 👍🏻👏
Lee- Threading is a lot of fun as long as you don't try to force anything or try to tap DRY! =D Thanks Lee!

no fireflies here in Seattle...but in the early 80's made a visit to Long Island New York,the Hampton Bay area, at night in the summer both the sound and the lite of fireflies...good stuff
I like the wire brush idea, clip it and drill it. I normally use the steel wool and drill bit. That was a watershed moment when I was taught that one.
Holy smokes, that wrench turned out like you'd find in the store but better! I love the satin look on that. Classy. I always wondered where you got your round brushes. I buy the HF ones and they do okay but get wasted after a couple of uses. You should start a ScoutCrafter page on Amazon!

Me too!!!!!
Great tutorial Mate!!☺
Beautiful restoration! We love Lightning Bugs! 🧰🧯🛶🔭🇺🇸🧼👍🏻
Another nice job and enjoyed the process. Thanks for sharing!
Bahco still makes this same style wrench. There is another one with a thin head on it that I've been meaning to buy for plumbing work.
Great stuff from the Catskills!! I only saw a deer like that once, in Poland that was.
On the pocket in the tumbwheel, it definitely had a spring. I know because I did one (without the alligator back end) and it was constructed exactly the same way. I remember because the tought of losing that spring kept freaking me out. Fun thing is that I saw markings on your jaws that looks a lot like the markings mine has in the handle.

Nice work..hope to find a Bahco some day...Love the Lil Stream...so nice :]
Must be tough coming back home after spendingbthe day driving and mowing. I would be pitching a tent. 😆
Dave- I hate the double drive! I always sleep 10 hours the next day! =D

Last year was a pretty good year for them here! Only at my house though! The rest of the block was dead!
I use that crescent wrench on a daily basis it is amazing! They included one on some of the Volvo tool kits
Wonderful job.

The direction only matters if you try to switch from one wrench to another! =D
Very good lesson on how to repair the wrench screw. Could you do this if you do not have a lathe by carefully grinding it down or sanding? Thanks
Probably, I've heard the Wright brothers made the crankshaft for their airplane motor with a file!
Yes! A hand drill would help a lot but it could be done the same way!
Too bad, I'm always upset when I can't cut the grass! Not!! Nice restoration. Thanks.

Gotta love it.
Hey ScoutCrafter, I'm left handed maybe I will buy one of those wrenches next time i find one to see if "pushing to close" is more practical !
Ben- The funny thing is that you must stick with one or the other, if you try to use both you are doomed! LOL
@@ScoutCrafter You mean like using different brands of tape measures? thanks for the advice
😂
Great job.I never knew there was left handed adjustable?
Alan! Believe it or not that backwards threading on the thumb screw will screw you up when using it!!! 😃👍

Many thanks
Hi Ian! You couldn't have picked a better hobby! Check out this video for some great tips!! Thanks!!! th-cam.com/video/KmhMoGC86VA/w-d-xo.html
Remoil and a gun cleaning kit with brass bristles would clean that in no time.
I love the smell of Hopps #9!
I a alway love a good crecent resch
The Bahco wrench also had what looked like Volvo written on it. Was this part of a tool kit for Volvo vehicles?
Yes! It was part of the Volvo auto tool kit!
Are these made by the same people as the Laplander saw?
Yes! They make quite a few products! ipssarl.com/en/details_product/materiel-bricolage/bacho

I was looking for it in your past videos but haven’t been able to find it. Would you please give me the proper name for this jig? Thank you. After all these years I’m finally getting a drill press. Thanks for your help. Take care and stay healthy

ScoutCrafter Greetings John, it was something like that but it didn’t have the clamp. It had the v notch and a few other detents in this block of steel. I’m thinking it was some type of jig. But you have got me on the right track for hunting this thing down. Thank you for taking the time to look this up.
Greetings John, I found it - HHIP 3600-0042 Machinists' Bench Block (Holes 1/8~5/8 Inch). Thanks for your help.
I've seen these alligator ends on wrenches and could never visualize a use for that style. What is it's purpose. I find your tool restorations quite eye appealing.
Early form of pipe wrench. I first ran across them in the 1905-30 PM Shopnotes.
Me neither! I just don't understand that alligator style!
@@ScoutCrafter What's to understand? Jam a piece of pipe in it and if the teeth are in good shape they'll grab it as you turn. They come from before someone thought to put teeth on a monkey wrench and invented the adjustable pipe wrench.
Scout, how long do you have to wait on the fire flies?
I saw the first one yesterday... None tonight... I'm hoping they are going to thrive this year and I will do all I can to help them.. =D
now sir what is a button buck? I have not heard that here in California
When a buck (male deer) is young they start to grow horns, in the very beginning the horns are so small they look like buttons on his head. Later on they grow a few inches and the button buck becomes a spiked buck... =D
@@ScoutCrafter thank you! Also thank you for all the great videos! I am sure my wife is tired of hearing "Scoutcrafter here!" But I am not. Matter of fact I went out and bought a buffer/grinder from Harbor Freight!
This may be a stupid question, but what would happen if you turn the knurled bit over, and reinstall it upside down, wouldn't that open/close it in the opposite way?
Not a stupid question at all! I tried it! LOL The teeth of the thumbwheel is cut to match the angle of the teeth cut into the moving jaw... Their are only a few adjustable wrenches that operate the way these Bahco wrenches do... It is only a problem if you own both types. =D
@@ScoutCrafter Thanks. There's a relevant saying in Arabic that roughly translates to "Once the reason is revealed, the curiosity disappears".

Ha! I'm the first to view. And to comment. Loved it (no news there). Keep going Scout!
Literally said it was posted '14 seconds ago'. Ha!
I have to ask one question I wanted to ask since I know this channel, why don't you use electrolysis to remove all the rust includes hard to reach spots...
No red paint?
This is Abe's wrench and he loves Blue!!!! =D
I suppose the thread of that pin was a metric one, so of course it's unusual for the US ;-)
Nominal diameter and the pitch of the threads are of interest, both in mm. But you'll have only two types per diameter, fine and course. But sometimes there are some variations. For example nominal diameter 8mm, course it would have a pitch of 1.25mm. The fine one can be 1mm but also 0.75mm.
And if it's a standard screw you can see the type of thread by the tool you require to fasten/loosen it. For example you require a 16mm open-end wrench, then it is propably a M10 (mm) thread.

That model is still in production by the way, on german Amazon it's 32.77 Euros (36.84 USD). The most funny thing, they write in the headline that the length is 8"...

I tried my metric thread checkers and none would fit... Starrett was notorious for using specialty threads in all their tools... Many vintage tool companies used special threading for certain tools they made. It makes no sense to me to spend big money trying to obtain or buy tooling to reproduce their special threading... Common threads for everyone! =D
Is it metric or imperial ?
This one might be Metric! =D
