- I found a Craftsman metal toolbox ,it was full of rust,the metal at the bottom was thin like a paper after all the years with many holes,so i had to change it,and I found 3 different colors that had paint her over the years.
Craftsman tools were first sold in 1927. They were not manufactured by Sears, but by various other companies under contract. The tools were sold in Sears, sister retailer Kmart, and several other retailers.

In March 2017, Stanley Black & Decker acquired the Craftsman brand from Sears Holdings, which retained a limited license for Craftsman products. Sears maintains the right to manufacture and sell tools using existing supply channels under the Craftsman name for 15 years after the deal closed.
The Craftsman trademark was registered by Sears on May 20, 1927,Arthur Barrows, head of the company's hardware department, liked the name Craftsman and reportedly bought the rights to use it from the Marion-Craftsman Tool Company for $500.
The brand's early customers were mostly farmers. Barrows' successor, Tom Dunlap, upgraded the quality of the tools and added chrome plating to them as America moved into the automobile age.
My Grandfather (Nicholas Sulentic) who invented this box would be both proud and grateful. Well done!
john sulentic ,what you are saying is very beautyfull,and also that something after so many years excist and reminds your grandfather,thank's a lot.
"Invented?" What was there to invent on this box that wasn't already invented on previous tool boxes?
I appreciate the “body work” in getting the dents out. Mark of a true craftsman.
Thank you Ron G-Man.
Interesting color choice for a Craftsman tool box.
Thanks ToughAncientSpark,but the shop where i took the color,could not fix the original color.
You are a restorative Angel and Gentleman! You helped a great toolbox avoid a sorry dump landfill death! Thanks forever! Kerp up the great work and videos!!!
Thanks a lot anthony villarreal !
My late father had a very similar toolbox as his 'working' box about 55 years ago, the one that had the tools in he was most likely to need. His had a removable tray in it making it two layers inside.
Another great restoration and the box has many more decades ahead of it. It toolbox looked fantastic when finished.
Thank you for a fantastic video that brought back some special memories.
Thank you Mark, i didnt find the inlay tray inside when i took it,maybe someday i will make one.
I want to start doing this. Nice work chief.
Thank's a lot Mitch Murrell !
This toolbox now identifies as a SK toolbox. It’s trans toolbox. Hahahahaha. Good video. Love restorations of things like this.

Looks great well done.
Thanks a lot Restoration Australia !!!
its very beautiful. reminds me of the one my grandfather had when i was a child. He was a plumber by trade. And worked on many older buildings in richardson, tx. North dallas. bascially. He was a jack of all trades. He worked very hard. He was even working well into retirement when he was diagnosed with alzhiemers. He was funny and crazy and made us all laugh. He was even downtown in the square in dallas when Kennedy was shot. It remided me of the good times I had with him.
t'hank you.
Bevvie Byrom, only you remembered so many beautiful moments with your father, i got great thanks and if we lived close i would love to give it to you.Really ..... thank you for making me feel so beautiful.

what did you do to restore the two latches??
Ron Duval I did not remove them from their place because I had to damage their rivets and then I could not find the same ones, so I rubbed them and polished them as they were.
I love that you listen to The Chipmunks! 😉
Michael Loomis III .....no my friend,i don't listen to The Chipmunks.
you need a sand blaster or walnut shell blaster
eddie ed_2 you are right,i have been in the plans for several days to make a sandblast.
@@restorecreate check this out. ua-cam.com/video/9C2aP8KhF0s/v-deo.html , use walnut shells
I have one just like that yours yours is missing that tool tray inside that holds sockets and other tools.....Mine is 45 years old and it looks almost new and I've used mine allot.....
Robert Colfack,i found it in a fleamarket in a very bad condition as you saw,and the tool tray was missing,maybe one day i fix one or i will find something to fit.
I would have used a grinding wheel to clean all the hardware and left them unpainted.
Good thing you say Ka-Pow!, but it was painted, and the rust, especially on the bottom, was enough to change the piece. So then I had to paint it.
What kind of solution did you use to remove the paint ? Just curious as tonwhat the blue stuff was and what it does. I have 3 toolboxes im planning on restoring.....
@vincesanin4221 i used paint stripper for the old paint,and the blue liquid is rust remover.
Restoring anything, the detail work will show up. You worked hard but skipped the real detail work. Removing the handle and latches, the hasp. Any job worth doing, is doing it right.
I looked to repair it doing the least damage that could be done, as I could not find its own handle rivets for example, so I let the passage of time in it seem a bit.
To some extent, I agree. I guess I can accept the hasp being painted the same color as the rest of the box, but like you, I’d have preferred to either have removed the handle or taped it up.
I had a similar box and the handle was textured. My dilemma was trying to figure out how to get the old paint off of the textured surface well enough to repaint the handle. I guess I could have used paint remover as was done in this instance but I simply didn’t think of that. I had thought about using something like spray bed liner or spray undercoating to redo the handle when I got to that point but this is all moot since I let it go before I got that far. Man was that a mistake; live and learn I guess.
Las bisagras no aparecen cuando las cambio estás las Pulido ?
Jorge Eliud Garcia Alfaro,la cámara no tenía baterías, solo se frotaban y pulían.
Didn’t see the story that John Deere bought Sears.
Reginald Wilkinson no i didn't.
Actually Stanley Black & Decker bought Craftsman brand from Sears in 1917.
what did you d the restore the two latches??
Sanding and polishing.
What was the puddy you used the flatten the sides ?
Matthew F it's ferrous putty for metal,and the red is the hardener .They sell them together.
Nice restoration! I just picked this box up yesterday at a Habitat Restore a little bit less rusty and still had the tray cant wait to spruce it up.
Thanks jetskidude78 .
the limited skills made this video very hard to watch lol
Thank you RetroGhost for the remark,but I am still a small child and I continue to learn, so at some point I will reach a satisfactory level.
Τέλειο το βίντεο ! 💯💯💯
Το rust remover που χρησιμοποίησες το προτείνεις; Ή να παραμείνω στο λευκό ξύδι με την σόδα;
Σε ευχαριστω πολυ Παυλο,το προτεινω και πιστευω θα μεινεις πολυ ευχαριστημενος.Μεχρι στιγμης δεν εχω βρει κατι καλυτερο εκτος απο την ηλεκτρολυση.
Link to those gloves you have on?
I can't see the brand now from the gloves,the letters have been erased,but if you go in any store which sells tools you will find them,in many version.
So what happens with the hinge, the paint doesn't cause any issues with it functioning?
Kevin,until now there is no problem,from the factory also was painted.
