Old Rusted Tecalemit Grease Gun Restoration

In this video I took on the challenge of restoring an old Tecalemit Grease Gun. I found this at a local boot sale for only £1.
I was greatly unaware of how many parts a “simple” grease gun would have. If I counted correctly the answer is 47.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Restoration, the only downside was not having a tool to sand deep into corners on the brass parts.
My initial plan was to keep the body plain, however I decided in the last minute to clear coat in order to prevent rust reappearing. I’m aware that the clear coat may peel in the future with constant use.
Thank you for taking time to watch this video.

You really restored that grease gun to working order and got it looking much better too. Excellent work.

I worked with a guy who dug through the trash for this kind of thing to fix. He was majestic.

Great job 👍

As always a perfect restoration.

Thank you

Nice little video! Tecalemit would have been at the top end of grease guns. Cheaper makes would not have had so many user accessible parts, rivetted pins, sealed nipple connectors, that sort of thing.

[@denegillespie5767]

I well remember the old Tecalamit grease guns from my aircraft servicing days. A pain to refill and prime even with the new fangled grease cartridges. The ones we used never looked like this though!

Thanks for watching

[@franmol01]

fantastic job. you took on a pretty messy assignment there, but you nailed it.

[@GT_Racer347]

Well that was unexpectedly freaking cool! Wow.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it

[@tattoosteveneo]

Looking good. Looks like the rubber part of the hose is gone. Still works so that’s great

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Just the tip was a bit worn, but that part is pressed against the metal. Not necessary to change.

Out of all the numerous restoration videos I have watched. This one here is the best. I like the fact he uses common tools. Something mst home owners have.
Great job.

Another beautiful restoration MTW... very well done Sir! Whereabouts in the UK are based ? greetings from Southport.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Much appreciated. I’m located in the east of England.

[@markharris5771]

Very nice indeed, I’m really glad you didn’t paint it bright yellow or anything. Now I know you’re in the U.K. I’ll ask Mrs H to get me some of the pink Snowdrops stuff.
Another excellent restoration and well produced video.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

It’s well worth it. Only £1 at home bargains.

[@markharris5771]

My tiny Workshop Thanks for that.

[@lightning4871]

Using a crescent wrench is not a good thing. It can slip and mess up bolts, especially when it’s covered in grease. Use the proper size wrench.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

Nice, clean, no fuss restoration. A little bit "phallic" with the pumping action near the end of the video, but enjoyable to watch !

Thank you very much, you made me laugh

Very nice work, but see if you can do something about all those Commercials..

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

No commercials means no channel. It takes a lot of time and personal money to run a channel. Glad you like the work though.

[@garyjones2582]

@@mytinyworkshop1213 your work is great, but some channels seem to have no Commercials while others is like watching tv.. Keep up the great work..

[@FadinAces]

Sweet job. For sale?

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

Sorry not for sale. If I ever change my mind I know where to go.

[@Drew6709]

Why not use a muric acid to clean? Just don't leave tools in that stuff for very long. I tried it with a few old tools of grandpa's.

[@mytinyworkshop1213]

I’ll try that one day.

[@Drew6709]

@@mytinyworkshop1213 make sure to wear gloves and eye protection. And keep a bucket of water close to rinse with.
