Vintage Hammer Drill [Restoration]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лис 2018
- This tool restoration focused on the Rawlplug Mechanical Hammer. This tool is an early hand-cranked hammer drill from what I believe to be the 1950s based on components and design. The patent number on the body of the tool leads to this patent from 1932: patents.google.com/patent/GB3...
The restoration process was fairly straight forward, but the internals of the drill were peened together, forcing me to restore them all as one piece.
I decide to not paint all over the aluminum casting so the polished aluminum could shine. I don't like painting high wear areas so I also did not re-paint the chest plate black. The paint on the handle seems important enough to the original look of the tool that I did repaint that part.
I am still not 100% sure how someone could quickly change drill bits on this tool as they have a tapered end that gets hammered into a tapered spindle making it very hard to remove. I am sure there is a tool or trick to it, but I am not sure what that is yet!
In the end, the tool did do the job it was designed for, faster than by hand, but slower than a power drill.
I'd like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

There was a time when workmen DREAMED of having such a wonderful, time saving, easy to use tool.
use a star chisel once and you'll be begging for this thing.
@@theghostofthomasjenkins9643 - Used one many many times in flame proof areas, no one ever told us that there were mechanical hammer drills, game changer! Apprentices are cheap though.
Ye mate, i think u just used ur hands and some rocks aren't ya?
@@kenjepson1908 The mechanism of this thing would have to be at least capable of creating a spark; all those metal parts snapping and banging around in there...
Although, I suppose one of those could be sealed or built with sealing in mind...
One thing I can say for myself and everyone else thank you for just leaving the real sound in the video and not adding some stupid dorky music very satisfying video
Why do all of you hate musuc?
@@eduardolarrymarinsilva76 we don't hate music, but we prefer real sound
@@eduardolarrymarinsilva76 if you hear the same music every fucking time,you gonna hate it.
But its MORE satisfying if it's got that "satisfying" genre music from UA-cam's library. Everyone knows that.
LOL
I 1000000000% agree with you! The worst is when the video is like an hour long, and the song (not songS) is like 20 seconds long...... and just repeating over and over.
5:20 “Just leaving it as one piece before I break something.” Oh, if only I could be so wise...
If I was a kid, and I found this it would automatically be a machine gun.
I'm an adult and I'd definitely act like it's a machine gun🤓
Definitely
1joshjosh1 basicly that’s what I said ( I’m the guy below you in the comment section) but I’m. Ok with that

That's very good for him but I did not read his.
I just had a thought and posted it if you don't like it you don't have to read it.
Bye bye now.

It seems to be very controversial on who posted first.
🤣🤣🤣
Until today, I did not know that hand-cranked hammer drills exist. Thank you for showing us this one.
Same here.
I didn't either
It does sound a bit like a machine gun
Same here
Same here!
Missed an opportunity to put an empty hanger up there for "clear coat" ;-) Excellent video as always, sir! Happy to be a patron!
i though about this kind of plastic transparents things that you wear when it's raining but your proposition is even better !
Cyril Sebadelha I too had this thought of a plastic clear rain coat.
Clearly, my jokes are not transparent enough.
@@HandToolRescue Hee Hee Hee!
Right after the final coat joke 😂 Fool 'em twice

Yup
Also used in schools during final exams.
Also used by neighbours at sunday afternoon

That is awesome. I spent my whole life taking this stuff apart as a child to see how it worked... It is so cool to see people put it back together.
A wonderful restoration, you have brought me back to my childhood. My father hand one of those, although with slight differences. Ours didn't have the shoulder rest or the hidey -hole for the tool in the handle. It had a pivot and a ring on the base of the handle for a lanyard like a military service revolver. I am glad you polished the main body as they never were painted, they were always bare aluminium and where you painted the handle red was a black textured rubber grip between the depressions in the castings. To remove the drilling tool you didn't need to heat it. they supplied a simple metal, chamfered bar that you inserted into the cross hole behind the bit, tapped with a hammer which released the drill bit. And yes they where close to useless for drilling holes but to a young boy with a big imagination it was a great machine gun that went bang. Thanks for the reminder of an earlier life time.
Thank you! This is awesome to know.
Hahahahaha guess I wasn't the only one who thought this tool made an amazing imaginary machine gun...ahhh nothing like reminiscing on childhood memories
Same as mine.
I'm over 60, but i have never seen such a tool. Good Work!
Love all the variations on the sandblaster gag!
Dig the humor you put into these projects as well.
"6 minutes later"... Well it looks very cool and you did a fantastic job restoring it.
I couldn't stop laughing
Geezless thats a lot time and work for one little hole. I couldn't imagine having to do that for a living back then.
Same thought. I can't imagine to drill a lot of things with that system today. Exhausted as fuck.
This can't be the intended use. They've had regular augurs forever. Did they make this complicated thing that's straight up worse?
@@outshimed well, a hammer drill IS for brick/concrete/mortar, (ive never used a hand crank) i can only assume it would probably be more useful on its intended surface rather than wood? the bit is a triangular chisel. not a drill bit after all
I resisted watching any of these videos because i knew i would get sucked in. It is insanely interesting to see the engineering behind a badass tool.
It's good to see old tools being brought back from the brink
I get a kick out of it every time you lay head down to sandblast! lol many times!
Great job on the restoration and the actual use demo. This would be a step up for me using a single "star" bit, strike with a suitable hammer, clear hole, reset bit, turn slightly, strike again repeat for days on end.
The speed at which you play the video makes it look like you're angry at whatever you're restoring and definitely adds to the entrtainment factor! lol
As many have commented below...you had me at final coat. Thats when I knew you're a good man sir! Thanks and keep at it. Its good to know that there are still some "youngsters" who appreciate what the "oldsters " did. One of my co-workers has a Hilti hammer. Puts the bit in, marks his hole,touches tip to mark, turns it on and only uses his finger to steady the drill. Just made me smile when you "six min later"
If I had a sand blaster.. I'd snuggle it just like that too :]
So nice. So cozy.
Anakin will never understand our love.
All hail the invention of the power tool. 🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
I love the little comedy bits in your restorations.
Kudos to a company who made a tool that could be used by both left-handed & right-handed people. I bet they sold 5% more of them.
It’s going to be a good day today, because there’s a new HTR video.
Another great video. I just got my first pail of Evaporust for my birthday. Thanks to you and your channel!!
Be careful, it's addictive!
Listen to him buddy. Been on the Evaporust for years and now I can't do a single job properly without it!
He put a hammer and a drill into the Tickle Trunk and got a hammer drill?! This man is a magic man!
It’s not that often that we see your sense of humour, but that was great, made me chuckle out loud, carry on with the great videos
You look so peaceful on the sandblaster today haha
It's sleepy time :)
I almost felt cheated not getting the face smack on the shield
Maybe he did it by ear?
@@Boudico I felt the EXACT same way
Stop... Hammer drill.
Lol err no, try an sds......you can thank me after. Basically an SDS plows through concrete like butter, and a hammer drill just doesn't lol
@@shonaoneill5151 Can´t touch this.
@@shonaoneill5151 SDS is short for slotted drive system. It's still a hammer drill.
dun dun dun nah nah nah naah!
Final coat lol another beautiful job
i love that your not just a restoration channel, your a comical restoration channel.
That is an pretty cool hammer drill.
6 minutes to drill a 1" deep hole? That thing is twice as fast as the harbor freight hammer dill I bought!
Well does your hammer drill has a buttstock?
I think any drill is faster than dill, just a thought though! ;P
@@soulextracter yeah I need something to get me out of this pickle.
With a tap? Thats resonable.
@4HorsemenCome battery powered drill/hammer?
Was that supposed to be a mystery box in the intro? I love the clever intros more and more every video, but the standard one with the 90’s sit-com feel will forever be the best. Please don’t ever stop making videos! I need this as part of my life now lol.
You need to make a movie about a Man and his love for his sand blasting booth. Amazing job as always. Thanks for sharing what you do.
"final coat". You need to stop the dad jokes before you hurt somebody.
Agreed. Weapons grade dad jokes are a crime against humanity.
Hahaha, never!
That joke put me on the floor. Well played!
What’s wrong with dad jokes? I like dads, and I like the jokes.
I too am a 'Dad'. I too do the 'Dad Jokes'. My kids love them. M'hm.
Hahahahaha holy crap I lost it when you "applied" the "final coat". 10/10 perfectly timed old Dad joke
The rust looks like I left it on a job site overnight. That's super clean.
Looks like a fine example of a early cordless drill
wow people used these into the 70s even, before electric drills were cheap. but if you were an apprentice , it was your job to do this awful job. let us see if you drill an entire hole in a brick, like it was meant for!
We are so spoiled now with electric motors everywhere. I remember in the 70s my dad built a hundred chairs and 25 tables for a restaurant and he put in every screw by hand...with a bar of soap to help get them started.
@@ModMINI yep i think this is a great tool i was born in the 90s so i got no clue how things worked in the 70s but i like old tools and before this the alternative was a hammer and a drill chisel the same hole he made would take 20 min at least and all these hand tools run on 100 W of power that is the power out put of a human on a good day
@@dementedbowine8681 Theses tools will still be in use long after the non serviceable toools of the 1990's have broken down and aren't repairable. 3-D printing may let us make new bodies that are broken when opening them though..So maybe they might be able to be salvaged..... Only Hand Tool Rescue's will will show if such is possible.
Before we made the tools to withstand. They were expensive. Found my model 100 in storage.
never seen this tool before, its interesting to see. now I want to see it in action
Interesting, because I have one of these, in a bit better condition, complete with original box of bits and plugs - good info for my future restoration… Thanks a lot!
Love the Ode to this old Tony in the video ! 😁
I liked this video as soon as the final coat came out, bloody classic
WoW that thing must’ve taken a lot of muscle to use back in the day! I love tools! Thanks for the great video 👍😊
Many an unhappy memory of using the hand version with a 2 1/2lb club hammer, putting outside lights up and fixing socket boxes to the walls. Man, they were useless ! Every apprentice had skinned knuckles from using those. Funny enough, was clearing my shed out at the weekend and came across an old raw plug jumper with a 2.5 mm bit in for yellow plugs. Thank god for battery tools and spare batteries, would hate to have to go back to those.
Yes,I used those plus timber plugs, where we raked out the mortar with a plugging chisel, bad times.
Yes, me to.
One of my jobs when I was an apprentice was to fix rainwater down pipes using the manual hand tool with a hammer. Bang, bang, bang, twist.
My hand would be sore at the end of the day. Always had a spanner or pair of grips handy for the times it would bind in the hole.
When I was an apprentice I used the manual version installing electrical boxes and conduit. Always had a mouth full of fiber raw plugs chewing the ends to swell them up to fit tight in the hole. I remember when I saw some one with a hammer drill. It was a Metabo. I thought the bearings were shot. The guy told me he had used the drill bit for weeks.

I love this guys subtle sense of humor 😋
I was waiting for you to smack your head on the sandblaster but you changed it up on us. Well done, sir..... Bravo.
Final coat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, for clear coat you could have hung an empty coat hanger. Awesome! Loudest hand tool of all time.
That final coat had me in stitches
I'm happy to see you brought your old, explosive table to the new shop.
StG-44 for the builder 😄✌
Looks more like a Sten or M3A1

Sounds like one too! 😂😂

Awesome!
It works great!
Takes forever. A but tedious, but functional.
People were still using those things 35 years ago! :D
Thanx for a great vid buddy!
Now, show us a Sherman tank resto! LOL
captainjerk yeah I would love to see a restored Sherman
lol, looks like a space gun, something you would see in a 50s sci-fi movie. Great video.
This one has polished up beautifully.
Just read your text; the original colour is black on the handle, red on the crank, the body is raw aluminium. Rawlplug provided an ejector, basically a 4.5mm dia. nail with a tapered point, which is pushed into the hole at the end of the spindle and hammered to force out the bit. Hope this helps!
Thank you!!! I tried hammering on that part, but it didn't help get the bit out. May have just been stuck at the time. This all makes sense now.
I put in a request to join your FB closed group, so I can post a pic of my tool and the box.
отверстие в шпинделе - туда вбивается клин для извлечения сверла.
hole in the spindle - there is a wedge driven in to extract the drill.
Thank you!
I'm happy we have power tools these days.
I may have mentioned this before, but the sheer joy with which you approach sandblasting is inspiring :D
Суровый девайс!
I was in the middle of watching your Belt Lacer restoration video before I got the notification.
It’s cool to see how this ancient piece of technology works
I just found this channel a few days ago. I'm a mans man. I love tools,gadgets and the like but I fricken love this channel!! I am hooked! I dont even know why I like it so much!! You are outstanding at this though and these are thoroughly entertaining and I'm shitting my pants at the thought that you've gained almost HALF A MILLION SUBS IN A YEAR!!! WOW!!! This will get as big as you let it. Glad I'm here for the ride.
next projekt: your drillpress ;)
Awesome project you are the man :)
Excellent restoration, but ... God bless the inventor of the electric hammer drill !!!
Great assortment of plains in the back ground of opening shot. Wish they were mine

That palm wratchet is so cool!!
I have this same drill (much older version) mint in the case
Can I borrow it? I want to fix my watch.
Just curious have you ever tried using it with a modern hammer drill bit, and if so how were the results???
flatrockfiend it drills good with the original bit for 1/4 inch holes
Post a picture
I see all your videos and congratulate on your work! But I'm curious, what do you do with the tools you restore?
Absorbs them to expand his database😂
best part about a hand operated masonry drill is that you will pretty much never overheat the tip of the drillbit
I'm normally not fooled by so called "magic" but I am stumped by the impressive display of what can only be true black magic at the beginning... Well done sir!
Yep I lost it at final coat. Laughing like a crazy person at work.
the "FINAL COAT" jocke killed me
way more impressive than I thought it would be... very cool
Nice alchemy box at the beginning. Made a nice drill to fix.
Presto Changeo!
Do you sell a junior version called rust-eze?
I'm pretty sure everyone laughed their ass off at the "Final Coat" joke!!!!!
I really like the old tools you find, and I enjoy watching the restorations, but if I'm being completely honest, it's the tiny touches of humor that crop up from time to time that really keep me coming back time and again.
Haha, glad to hear.
I enjoyed the restoration and the humor.
Ah, Rawlplug. I always knew the name (in the colonies) as fibre plugs that were inserted in holes in a cinderblock/cement wall that would then accept screws. This tool would be perfect for making said holes.
Wow, I’ve seen those plugs in old brickwork. Now I know they are Rawlplugs.
This, is why I'm happy to be a patreon :)
I love you saddo's that feel the need to advertise to the world that you are a patron 😂 So lame.
@@shonaoneill5151 typical response from a poor freeloader.
My goodness, I'll never complain about my Milwaukee m18 rotary hammer drill again.
Fully expected some Barry White and a bottle of wine to go in the box at the beginning!! Lol😂🌲
I’m finishing the restoration of a 1950’s Rockwell bandsaw. I have a question: How frequently do you need to review the tear down parts of your videos while you’re putting a tool back together?
Love the last coat. Thanks
Actually a fair point and always wondering that myself....
All the time!
Теперь я видел ручной перфоратор )))) спасибо Ютуб.
Механический перфоратор
I like the nice balance between humor and work.
Love that stalagmite of grunge on your drill press post from all the wire-wheeling. Archaeologists will one day discover that as a forensic record of all your projects.
I wish I could just find vids of someone using these old tools and talking about them instead of just restoring them...
Then you might like my instagram stories!
@@HandToolRescue sorry no Instagram not trying to shit talk your vids I enjoy them just wish there was just a lil more to them
That little screw looks like a lady bug!!
Love your sense of humour man great work. 🛠👍🛠👍
Watching your videos has made me want to pay attention to the "junk" tools at yard sales
5:02 Couldn't you have tapped the pins out, instead of prying it apart? Srs question, not sure if it's an option
Michael Corley he said it peened into place which means the pins would’ve had to be drilled out and re peened.
Or could’ve gone for a more modern replacement like a roll pin or taper fit. But not really sticking with the theme I guess.
Lol, I loved the video.....but I think I'll stick with the sds 😂
I think the sds might actually be quieter
Awesome seeing it in action
Beautiful as per usual. Final coat looked good
Based on the oil galleys inside the tool, I think the inside should be filled with gear oil.
That'd explain the lack of rust on the internal parts as well.
I thought about that a bit. I ended up using 30w non-detergent oil as that is the closest thing I could find to the original oil used. Ideally, grease would be best.
@@HandToolRescue grease would be best if you was using it as an every day tool which i very much doubt you will be, great job :)
