They cleaned up nice Bud!! I've owned plenty of S-K stuff over the years and never knew what the S-K stood for!!☻
Thanks RoadKing! It's fun to learn about these old tools!
when I was 16 yrs.old my girlfriend's mom gave me a nice socket set of S-K...still use them to this day 56 years later...(dam) love them and keep her memory with me...
Great restore btw...😮
It's great that you still have that socket set Chuck!
Very cool ratchet, that one’s a keeper! I thought it was interesting how the handle splits open to get the head of the ratchet out. SK is a fantastic brand and if you ever work on vehicles it’s a useful one to have around compared to the cheap junk they make today. Well done!😀👍
Thanks YDOC! It seems like a quality tool!
I think the guy stored his tools in a hole in the ground! Great save, I really like that style ratchet…
It was very satisfying to get in cleaned up!
That’s a cool tool. I had an old S-K ratchet that would slip. I called the manuf and they sent me a free repair kit. I took apart the inner section and only replaced the broken parts so I could keep the selector original. It was quite an event to reassemble. They provided grease that looked like Vaseline petroleum jelly. It works great now. As always I really enjoy your work. From the windy beach on the Gulf of Mexico, thanks for the fun. 🤠
Thanks Mark! I hope the new owners will still provide that kind of service!
Nice ratchets, good job restoring them. Appreciate the S-K history lesson.
Thanks Larry! I like to include some history if I can find it!
I picked up the same S-K roto-ratchet at a local estate sale. It’s in great shape. Thanks for the great tutorial on disassemble of a beautiful tool.
It seemed like a quality tool and a useful design.
Nice job! I think SK has the best mechanism design out of any ratchet I’ve seen. It’s a shame the company has been bought and resold so many times. I hope the new owner can do them right. You should look into getting a pair of Channellock retaining ring pliers. They help a lot! I’ve had some very pesky retaining rings that have taken around a half hour to get out.
I've got retaining ring pliers, but they don't seem to help on these type of retainers. I almost need something with tiny tubes that fit over the ends of the ring.
Very cool ratchet! It's always satisfying to me clearing something of muck like that.
Thanks Alex! It was very satisfying scraping away all of that crud.
Reading the other comments I see other people have suggested the same thing. I work with a lot of small retaining rings at my job. And having a set of retaining ring pliers will save you a ton of time. They’ll grab both ends nicely and less chance of the part being lost under the bench never to be found again. Absolutely a beautiful sk ratchet you found and a wonderful restoration!
Thanks Nick! I've since watched a couple other TH-cam videos on these wrenches. It looks like a pair of angles needle nose is the tool of choice for those retaining rings.
My newest car to date is a 2010. What many people don't realize is how dirty cars get. Suspension work, brakes, tie rod ends. I got less dirty crawling through off trail in the Cathedral Caves in the middle of Missoura.
I think the wrench spent some time in the mud!
Great job!! I've always had great service out of SK tools!!!!
Thanks Mike! They seem like quality ratchets!
Awesome job! Tom Gunn is paying close attention! =D Love the split design. Thanks!!
I bet Tom was excited - two S-K ratchets in one video!
Well done Magdad. That ratchet looked like someone used it for digging in the garden😂. I miss the relaxed hillbilly music. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Thanks Stuart! We'll try to work in some hillbilly music on the next video!
I was a S-K Wayne distributor for many years and changed out the ratchet mechanism many dozens of times under warranty . I own this ratchet and most socket sets .Along with many other SK tools .
Thanks for watching! S-K has quite a following!
Nice job cleaning up a good quality tool. I started using/buying S-K in the early 70's and always a good tool.
Thanks John! S-K has almost a cult following.
Great job my first ratchet was an SK purchased from Killian hardware in 1973. I’m still using it
The old S-K stuff seems like really good quality!
@@357magdad it was and still is a great ratchet. I was sixteen and bought it and a few other tools to put air shocks on my 71 roadrunner
Nice tool. Thanks for the history on the company. You demo of the tool was great.
Thanks James! I had to give it a test drive!
Well I have never seen one of those before but I wish I had one back in my day. Excellent project 👍 cleaned up real pretty. Thanks for sharing.
It seems like a handy design!
@@357magdad Definitely is 👍
I love roto ratchets. They are my go to when wrenching on the car. Great restoration Magdad!
Thanks! It seems like a nice design!
Very neat design sir, I kinda need one of these now lol. I think Chuck's polishing overkill was worth it too :-).
Chuck is always right!
Right On Magdad! That must have lived in a muddy swamp! Great job cleaning it up. That swivel head looks handy! 👍✨
That stuff was really caked up in there!
That stuff was really caked up in there!
Great job on a great ratchet since they were bought out by great star from China that's going to change its good to aquire the old sk while you still can I love the swivel head ratchet very handy
Thanks Larry!
I'm Trying to get The Old SK Right Now. Have Some Need More.
Those roto heads are cool! Got to love SK!
I knew you would like this episode!
I must agree with Chuck, that extra polish made it!
Chuck insisted we polish it. I'm glad he did!
Nice cleanup. What a cool ratchet.👍👍👍
Thanks Wire! It is a cool design!
Top quality American tool well worth the effort to clean up. Very good thorough job. It's amazing sometimes at the amount of crud that can accumulate on tools. When I clean the joints on wire cutters and pliers, for example, I work the handles back and forth with some oil. Sometimes there is alot of dirt that flushes out. I only have some combo SK wrenches, but they are very serviceable. I see Chuck isnt wearing safety glasses today. He needs to stay away from the wire wheel.
Thanks Pat! Chuck was OK without the safety glasses this time since we only polished by hand.
M.D. That turned out very nice.. I have some SK tools, but I don't have the swivel head.. Take care M.D. and have a good week...And thx for the history also...
Thanks Gary!
Cool ratchet nice to see if clean and functioning right again.
It works great!
Very nice Magdad! SK made great tools in my opinion. I knew Chuck was going to have to do his thing on that one! 👍🎥🇺🇸Roger
Thanks Roger! It seems like a quality tool!
It definitely needed some attention!
Now you need to round out your SK ratchets with one of their Frankenstein Ratchets.
I'll have to keep an eye out for one!
SK was my dad’s choice of tools. I have inherited them and I really like them. I’m sure the quality has changed a lot from then to now. You and Chuck did a awesome job on the swivel ratchet.
Thank You for sharing!
It seems like S-K has quite a following!
Nice Work Professor! SK made a good looking tool for sure...Thumbs up!!
It's got nice lines and is a unique design.
Very nice - I had never heard of a Roto-Ratchet. Very cool design!
When I spotted it at the yard sale, I knew it was coming home with me!
Nice ratchet Magdad. Enjoyed the SK timeline.
Thanks! Researching the history is part of the fun!
Good find MagDad. Nice work on the clean up.
Thanks Michael!
Hi Magdad , Nice Job on the SK . The Roto Ratchet Is A Handy Tool. SK Did Make Great Tools . The New Stuff is Made In China Though. ☹️
Thanks Wayne! It seems like everything is made in China now!
@@357magdad Back in USA Again Now ! Yay ! I Just Picked up and Restored A SK 1/2" Drive 42470 Ratchet Today. It Spun Around Free Like A Wheel ! So I Took it Apart And Someone Had Forgot the Pin Inside or Lost or Broke it! No Pin! So I Made One Myself By Using A 1/8 Roll Pin . I Guessed At The Length By Watching A YT Video on that Ratchet. Greased It Fought With The UClip And Back in Service! Picked It Up At The Flea Market $5 !
Always oil yer gizmo! Words to remember!
another great job and clean up on you S_K roto head ratchet and a very nice history lesson on S_K tools it just too bad the company changed hands way too often and the quality is just not there as it use ti be BTW that Roto Head Ratchet will be your go tool Ratchet you can use that Ratchet just about anywhere .. Hey have a great Sunday Afternoon a huge Thumbs up from Rhode Island
Thanks Roger! It seems like a very useful design!
Wow what a project that turned out to be. Looks like that thing was rode hard and hung up wet or dry in the case of that particular ratchet. Im a fan of SK tools, nice job.
I had a tough time re-assembling that thing! The second one went easier though.
Nice ratchet I have cleaned up quite a few SK ratchets 1/4-1/2 drive probably around 15 or so they are pretty easy ratchets to rebuild when reassembling put the selector in the neutral position so the ratchet will free wheel that will make it easier to put the guts back in if you want to know how to completely disassemble send me a message on Instagram and I can show you hard to explain through a comment
Thanks Noah!
Another fine restoration
Thanks Steve!
I love those roto ratchets they've been on my look out list for a while.
It is a cool design!
Great clean up. Turned out nice. 👍🔪👊🔥🍻
Thanks WM3!
You find the coolest things! 👌👏👏👏
We go to a lot of yard sales! This weekend and last weekend combined I think we stopped at 50 houses and found very little. You never know what will be at the next sale!
Great video and nice work on the ratchet, BTW snap on also has a ratchet almost identical to that SK. Thanks for all the great info u provided near the end of the video.
Amazon has a copy of the design made by Olsa Tools.
I love that style in the 1/4. I carry one of those in my general tool bag all the time.
Harbor Freight makes a knock off I was thinking of picking up.
Nice little SK swivel head Magdad. Looks great sans brown stuff. 😃👌🏼
Thanks David! That brown stuff was gross!
What a beautiful ratchet, Nice work MagDad 🛠👍😊
Thanks Wire! It is a cool design!
Very cool design... nice job!
Thanks Vic! She gave me some trouble going back together, but Chuck told me not to give up!
Hey Magdad that is a great looking ratchet! They cleaned up really well. The history was cool also! 👍
Thanks Robert!
Cleaned up great, another beauty for your collection! 👍😊
Thanks Lila!
Hey magdad....nice work! Just acquired one of these at an estate sale....the only mark is sk 3870 u.s.a. and the whole ratchet is nickel plated. No pat no. Or pat pend. I have seen many variations.....can you help me date this puppy....i could not stop laughing hearing you say you didn't think it was necessary...but you didn't want to argue with him lol....keep up the great work !😮
Alloy Artifacts has some info that might help you:
alloy-artifacts.org/sherman-klove.html#dates
I have that exact SK 3870 and have had it since the mid 1970s
Thanks for watching Paul! It seems like a good design!
Sweet ratchets! I don't think I have any SK ratchets. I did not realize the SK wayne sockets were so old. Assuming they stopped making the Wayne ones when it changed hands.
I think the relatively short production window makes the SK Wayne marked tools valued by collectors.
@@357magdad well then I guess I should start a box for those in case a toolarino chooses to collect them!
Very good information...excellent job!!! Keep the good work.....
Thanks Juan!
Thats an awesome addition to the collection .
Thanks Barry!
Very clever design. Thanks for showing.
It is a cool design!
Nice job, as usual. Complete & instructive. One doesn't usually remember how useful the lowly carpenter's shim can be.
I wonder: Have you give any consideration to getting an inexpensive ultrasonic tank cleaner? I have on of the Harbor Freight models. Didn't cost a lot, and sometimes can get a lot of "smutz" out of places like the long slot you had to deal with. Just a thought. Regards, LAD
An ultrasonic tank would be nice...
I think Mrs Magdad is wanting one for Mother’s Day.
@@unwired1281 🤣
Hey I like that ratchet. Nice find👍
Thanks! It is a cool design!
Well done MagDaddio! 👍👍👀
Thanks!
tHanks for the Sherman-Slove history! That was cool.
Researching the history is part of the fun!
Great find...
Thanks!
Cool ratchet Magdad, never seen one in the UK. Has Magdaughter passed her driving test yet? 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️
She takes her test in June - thanks for asking!
Those are great tools! Nice job!!
Thanks Bill! They seem like well made ratchets!
NICE. Now I want one...
It is a cool design!
Nice job on the clean up looks like new.
Thanks David! It was fun to take it apart and clean it up!
Beautiful job, I'm going to get me a swivel head ratchet, I can use it.
It seems like a useful design!
Been wanting one for a while now
They are cool!
I've always like the SK brand. I'm looking for the ratchet centers for two 3/8" ratchets. I need to keep an eye out for the ratchet you have there. That looks super useful. tHanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! It seems like a useful design!
Nice job, the inside was different. Thanks
Thanks Tony! It is the first S-K I've had apart!
Love it. Great job. 👏👏👏
Thanks!
It is a way better design than the flex ratchets Odd that the only ones I have ever see have been in you tube videos
My understanding is that they are somewhat collectible.
True Never Seen One . Here Just Any SK Ratchets Are Hard to Find.
It would make for a lousy video but I just soak those ratchet heads in ATF overnight and then keep a rag under them for a week or so. Really enjoyed the SK history lesson there.
It's fun and challenging taking ratchet wrenches apart. The different designs are very interesting.
Sounded like Chuck wanted to backhand you. He’s getting a little cocky.
He's gonna be mad - next week's episode has no polishing!
Another interesting video. Great.
Thank you!
Rad piece
Thanks!
What's the point of it split down the middle?
It is required for assembly / disassembly.
Those are some of the most sought-after ratchets by S-K. The only thing I never liked, which is evident by your intuitive notion, is the backwards selector. I also don't like their new lame duck Chinese owner. S-K will slowly go the way of the buffalo I'm afraid.
That selector is not my favorite design.
