    In this video I restored an old Torque Wrench and also gave it some modifications.
    Age: - I guess it´s age to 50-60 years
    Restoring time: - around 3 weeks
    Facts: This Torque Wrench was working even before the restoration, because the condition didnt effect the function. I replaced the welding between base plate and main shaft with screws, because I didnt want to weld the stainless steel.
    Techniques/materials: I used several techniques here: nickle plating, cold bluing, sand blasting and laser engraving.
    I hope you have fun with the video! If you have any questions on the used tools, materials or the processes, write it in the comment section - i´ll try to answer as soon as possible!

      It has been a while since I have wstched one of your videos!! Amazing job restoring this beauty! These videos get more satisfying with every new video :) I think my father has one of these from Soviet Bulgaria- i remember it clearly.
      Love the use of the milling machine!
      Another great video, as always, cheers! 😀

      Why didn’t make a calibration? Changing thickness and crystal lattice of metal after tempering… Is it a ruining of an instrument?(((

  • @nonexistant2k3
    @nonexistant2k3 9 місяців тому +45

    You really should get it calibrated. I repaired these for years and you disassembling it changed a lot of specs. Don’t trust it until then. But it looks nice as a paperweight until then.

      Heating would change the metal

      I calibrated it for him about a month ago.

    It would be interesting to compare the readings in the original and after restoration when switching to fastening from welding to screws.

    • @kennethmiller2333
      @kennethmiller2333 9 місяців тому +8

      Given the reduction in thickness, I'd expect an increase in indicated torque for a given actual torque due to the reduction in resistance to bending. Also, I'd expect the heating to have an effect as well.

    Great restoration, as always. Don't want to be that guy, but would like to see a calibration to see how much of an effect removing that material had on the accuracy of the piece. Looks lovely though, my dad had one similar.

    Good job! Great video, keep it up. What a master! Thank you for your great work. It turned out great! And I like heat plating, I rarely see such technique. screws I usually dip them in and take them out.

    My dad had one of these when I was a kid, and it's mine now. They're a terrible pain to use, the click type are much easier to deal with. But I hang on to mine for sentimental reasons. I wish it looked as nice as yours!

    I learned something new. The kilopondmeter is the same thing as a Newton-meter.

  • @JqlGirl
    @JqlGirl 9 місяців тому +1

    I learned something by watching! kpm means "kilopondmetre" and is from a defunct metric-derived system that took "standard" gravity into account, so 1 kpm is about 9.806 Nm.

    Unpopular opinion: Deflecting-beam torque wrenches are my favorite type. I'm good with dial-indicated wrenches, but I don't trust the ratcheting type.

    Looks great as all your restorations. Drilling the stainless steel may go better with a Cobalt drill. I have worked with stainless steel some and have found either carbide or cobalt works best. It’s the Nickel in the stainless steel that makes cutting difficult.

    I'm just going to think of this as an art project, a sculpture based on an old torque wrench. It's beautiful work but it was never a very accurate tool and now it may be even worse. Of course, maybe it's better but my advice is don't use it. The new, affordable little electronic torque adapters for breaker bars are excellent and very accurate.

    Looks great at the end. I definitely would have loved to see a comparison at the end between a known accurate torque wrench and this one, just showing "hey the bar moves" doesn't really mean it actually works and shows the correct torque.
