Excellent video. I have used this method to restore some vintage steel Tonka trucks, although I used washing soda instead of salt. Ignore the "experts" who have no respect for the thought and work that go into making your videos - if there is something truly unsafe or could be done a better way, let them say so politely.
Ingenious! The creator must be an engineer. Only one point of correction, though, and it’s a pretty major point. The shears in the video are bypass pruning shears and the section on sharpening is incorrect. First, you do not need to sharpen the lower arm of bypass pruning shears. Only the upper arm does the actual cutting. Second and much more important, you should not sharpen both sides of the upper arm of bypass shears. For anvil shears, yes, but not for bypass shears. It will damage and dull the shears if you do. You should ONLY sharpen the angled (beveled) side. Once you are completely finished sharpening the angled side, you make ONE swipe on the other side - the flat side - with whatever you used for the final sharpening on the angled side. This is to remove any possible burrs. But that’s all. Some experts say not to even do that much - that just opening and closing the shears will remove any burrs on the flat side. Aside from that, I loved the video. The section on sharpening should be redone and the video titled, “A Geek’s Guide to Pruning Shears.”
I'd heard that old Navy mechanics had insisted on keeping hemp oil in their inventory. The bottle I bought at the health food store, went rancid, so I oiled up a rusty pair of shears. A years worth of rust, they wouldn't open, dissolved. Hardens wood handles on my shovels and rakes. Now I'm on the look out for more rusty stuff.
Its called: electrolysis, make sure you use only a 12 Volt power source for safety! When you connect the wires, shine the metal parts up to make a good connection. 120/220 volts would function as well, but not safely!

Never use electric tools for sharpening anything unless it is on a designated sharpening tool!! Especially for curved blades. Never grind or sand the lower "blade" -- only the curved angled blade -- and only on one side of bypass pruning shears. Incorrect "sandpaper" for the job. I've been using my great grandfather's steel pruning shears since I inherited them in 1971. All parts are 100% solid steel, made in 1868. Only sharpened 4x in 53 years of steady work. It's been almost 100 years since tools were made from that type of steel.
@zksstalstawidlo9015 you will never be rich as you don't know the value of money. Also, without shops and or money you become useless. Also, to get money you must work, good luck working
An excellent vedio. One suggestion ... if the items are held under the rotating "drum" rather than on top, one can see the proper angle to hold the blade parts. Thanks for making this video ... now to revive my old pruners.
Yes, I think all is actually necessary for electrolysis of iron is a couple volts at 2 amps. However, it will take more time and the distance between your anode and cathode must be shorter. For a deeper dive, look into electro plating (overarching idea) or rust removal by electrolysis (this specific use).
@@Jari1973 that's how lots of people do it. Though I'm not sure how an a charger with an automatic/ maintenance-free mode would take to being attached to electrodes. It would probably just go full bore.
@@Jari1973 the key point of all of this is you can't use alternating current. It has to be direct current. AC would take metal off at the negative peak and put metal right back on at the positive peak (sin wave lol).
If your a Fred Sanford sure but cheaper to buy a new pair it would cost money to do this but the idea and knowledge is Very Very Valuable so Thank you. 😁
well you got 379000 views in a day. sadly this information apart from the rust removal is very poor and i really would not recommend you use these methods.
if you attach a light bulb in series to the + wire, should the anode ever touch the cathode, instead of sparks, the light will come on. This is useful when doing this to the inside of a gas tank or using a power supply.
But that is a complex method. My husband also derusted and sharpened an old pair of secateurs, but it was much easier. He took the shears apart and soaked them in Cola. After one or two days, the rust was gone and the shears could be sharpened with a whetstone. Takes more time , but only Cola, a sanding sponge and a whetstone. But of course, for your work, I give you a Like.
how many viewers have a shop grinder ? one end has a stone wheel for sharpening and the other end has a wire brush ... glueing a piece of sandpaper on the drill head, seems a little counter productive to me .. I use my drill a lot ... the piece of sandpaper is going to wear out ... then how do you remove it without messing up the chuck head
Cool idea but... I wouldn't use one of my drills. All that crud being so close to the chuck... after a few times doing this you would seize up your drill.
Ten film powinien mieć tytuł " Jak nie ostrzyć sekatora" .... ;) . Nigdy , powtarzam NIGDY nie szlifuje się płaszczyzn które współpracują (tych od środka) . Zawsze szlifujemy zewnętrzne . W przeciwnym wypadku pomiędzy "naostrzonymi" krawędziami powstanie szczelina .
First, the clickbait. Why does the cover photo of this video show cutting a battery with the shears? That never happens in the video. Are you recommending we should try it? Second, why would anybody glue sandpaper onto a sleeve on their drill when they could get a reliable grinding stone attachment for the drill. Third, why would anybody use a battery in a drill as a surface for polishing compound? Why not use a piece of pipe or the non-grooved part of a large drill bit? Finally, thank you for the electrolysis part of the video. That was interesting. I'm not sure whether a salt solution is the best idea. I've used baking soda instead.
Not even close - those pruners may be old but appear to be of high quality. Besides, the video is to demonstrate an effective way to remove rust and secondarily a method, but not the only method, to complete the restoration of a good tool.

Use the center of the battery for sharpening it should work way better and can be used for welding as well😊
Good for restoring old school tools that were made of better metal.
Thank you! Cheers!
Exactly. The older tools were of better quality. Nice demo.
Nice job! 🙂

But they’ll get dull also.

nice! thanks for sharing this
Welcome to Creation Holic channel! Thank you so much for your support
Praktikabel, einfach und gut
Thank you! Simplicity often leads to the best solutions.
It should be sharpened with a single blade, not with a double blade, because it does not sit well on the opposite side and creates a gaping opening.
"Thanks for the tip! Sharpening with a single blade often provides a better edge and fit. I’ll keep this in mind for future projects!"
Good job 👍. I am from Turkey. And you ?
Note to those who didn't notice he cleaned NOT SHARPENED the Flat side. ONLY sharpen one side, the outside edge
