1891 German ''Weltrekord'' Ratchet Screwdriver - Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2020
- It was around three months ago when I visited my friend that works at the steel waste. He made an amazing found. He found multible items that were in a very rough condition. They almost had some kind of concrete on them and a lot of heavy rust. This little screwdriver got my attention right away. It was not clearly visible what the function of it was, but I remember that I thought it might be some kind of ratchet mechanism. At home I posted a few pics of it in my Instagram story. It didn't took long for @hand tool rescue to reply, as he has the same screwdriver, just a slightly modern version of it, but similar mechanism. After some research I found some more pics and videos online. The brand is „Weltrekord“ made in Germany and it's called „Hebelschraubenzieher“ which meas „lever scredriver“. The model I found was the first ever designed one from 1891. Weltrekord later made some small changes on the design. Newer ones have a small collet to clamp the insert bits and even newer ones came with plastic handles instead of wood.
At first I thought this will be a quick straight forward restoration project. It turned out to be a very tricky one. The most difficult part was definitely the disassembly, it took me three full days to get it in pieces. Heavy rust has done so much damage to all of the parts. Unfortunately the handle cracked when I removed it. I tried to restore it, but it became a huge mess and I decided to make a new one to have a nice and clean look. There's a 40 minutes version of this video on my Patreon page where I show how I tried to repair the handle. I had to weld up material on a lot of parts and machined and sanded it clean afterwards. That all worked perfectly fine. Some parts have still very slight pitting but overall it turned out very well. For the finish on the steel parts I decided to try nickel plating for the first time and it worked fantastic. I went with a brushed finish and with the nickel coat the parts turned out amazing. I really like the look of the nickel plated parts with the wooden handle.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Time and costs of this restoration:
$5 wood for the handle
$3 spring steel wire
$10 vinegar for nickel solution
I was working on this project for 2 weeks
My camera:
Panasonic HC-V180
I payed a lot of attention on the lighting when filming this video and also the quality of the sound to create an ASMR style video.
If you have any questions about the process, machines i'm using or other stuff, just ask me in the comments. I read them all and i try to reply as soon as possible.

its been obvious since day 1 you were destined to have 1M subscribers. but this is the first video where i see you truly exploiting that, and really milking so many procedures in a way youve not done in the past. this is a new dawn. i will support you brother in whatever you decide to do. been a patreon for a while, and will continue to be - this is why. this is beautiful, beautiful art and it calms me. you will have more subscribers that you could dream soon. well done.
Thank you very much :-)
So did I. Nice to see you are back now.
If I saw right, you can create other blades with different dimensions for this screwdriver. Really nice tool
@@mymechanics I truly appreciate that your content is at such a high resolution! Looks incredible
Please restore small engine/motor, like honda gx 160 type, or water pump, thx, love your videos,
An endorsement from the Dark Lord himself!
The whole time I watched this I was thinking 'how the heck is this thing actually supposed to work?' and then the final demonstration... it all **clicked**
The pun... it hurts... ;p
Same here. I was like: "What the heck is that?", but at the end of video it was clear like a sky.
I actually thought it's supposed to be bent because the mechanism inside is tilted 45° for better leverage
The dad jokes!
Same here :) greetings from Poland :)
130 years old and that's a better ratchet screwdriver than you can buy today.
Absolutely true and kind of sad
I’d hope so considering it took about ten-twenty hours to build🤣 tools today are made so quick and so cheap
@@FreigeistBC Corporation plutocracy leads to global consumism.
Yeah I can't believe how well built this is for it's age. Most Impact drivers today aren't even built that well..
Old school German engineering
is it bad that every time I see "I make a new one" I smile because seeing how some of these things are made from scratch is fascinating
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
Doesn't everyone do that?
@@sten654 I don't know, I guess I assumed that people in that field saw making new parts as bad because the more original parts are left, the better. or something.
I always hear " i make new one " in a quiet Italian accent.
It makes me feel like I'm watching someone who talks like Borat. "This spring is very rusted. I make a new one!"
I love how with metal, no matter how bad it looks, if you just take off the surface rust you get shiny new metal underneath.
Well unless it's rusted all the way through but then it's less metal more instant powder😅
@@MxDiagnosisthe metal equivalent of a ramen seasoning packet
No talk, no music.. Only pure sound of precision and machines.. The way I like the best.
я уснул два раза
Like rack and peanuts theory
At the end when he flipped out the metal part of the handle and used it as a lever I completely lost it. What a beautiful piece of engineering.
Yeah like, why didn't THIS become the standard?
I was anxious to see how it works :)
@@DarkSoraFFno We lost the Wars :( we really tried bringing you guys some quality.
@@DarkSoraFFno it will become the standard in the future
Bro I had one of those "OMG it was right in front of our faces the whole time" moments.
I can’t help but think about all the people who used this screwdriver over its lifetime and how they had no idea it would one day be restored and seen by millions of people
The screwdriver came back to but they never can...
This is a piece of art
Not only the tool, but also the restoration.
Well done.
Glad to hear that, thank you!
@@mymechanics how can I get one?
Who else was happily suprised over the clickity clackety sound when the screwdriver was in action? Got to love old time mechanics sound. 🙂
You mean the "ratcheting" sound of a ratcheting screwdriver?
just buy any ratchet
Corn Pop nah, not just “any”
@@crakilldurmom I have never heard a sound like that from a ratchet mechanic tool 😀😍
@@florinpanaitescu1639 most ratchets have that sound. sorry if i wasn't hyper specific.
That "ball-making" wizardry, never seen that before
yeah I mean....that’s ridiculous
Me too
Likewise. That was next level.
@ kagiso Moiloanyane, This Old Tony showed how he does it some years back.
I had to watch this to the end and find out what the ball and spring in the end of the handle was for. Lovely video and a talented man who did this restoration.
Pretty clever mechanism, thanks
I am an mechanical engineer and I once again have to point out that we are USELESS!!! without craftsmen like you! Amazing work!
ama üretende mühendisler olmalı kendin üretmediğin üretemediğin birşeyi planyamazsın buluş yapamazsın.
Was thinking why a Screwdriver design this much complexity. Then after see it function at the end, mind blowing great German design.
Yes i was too.
Looks a bit overengineered to me.
Is this a jojo reference
scarletwingルリ the Germans are good like that 😂
@@gregorteply9034 the design looks overengineered, but actually has the simplest mechanics.
Who needs professional sports when we have THIS???
I can only imagine all the trial and error, the training and experience, the patience that goes into making and editing these videos.
Everyone has a way they can make the world a better place, thank you for magnifying yours.
Добавил это видео в плейлист год назад и наконец-то добрался, посмотрел.
Это потрясающе!
I watched this video probably a year or 2 ago. Today I rewacthed it. I fall in love with the work both times. Feeling towards it brought me back to watch it again & I felt the same as first time if not better. Loved it. Thank you.❤️❤️❤️.
I'm so glad!
I've seen you fabricate a lot of things. Yet, the creation of the ball is one the most gratifying fabs of all time
I've just made the connection - Swiss engineering is known as the best in the world...
Yeah. Never see he make metal ball before. Got a new machine perhaps?
Ikr I was just thinking the same thing it was really kool how he did it
@@wanfahimi it is just his normal milling machine with an off-centered rod attached to the mill's spindle. And the cutting bit is facing inwards. So when it rotates, it makes a round cutting pattern. Plus he turned it into a CNC Mill by cutting and rotating the ball at the same time.
Just flawless. This guy's creativity is beyond my comprehension
Cane here to say that. Very satisfying.
I owned one of these in the 70's. Most usable and strongest screwdriver.
200% least problematic channel on UA-cam. watching this always calms me down and I really appreciate how much time and skillful craftsmanship goes into your videos. I love the work you do :)
Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
They REALLY don't make em like they used to! What a beautiful piece of history
Imagine that one German guy who made this seeing the effort someone will go through today to restore his work.
one _150 year old_ German guy
@@Almashina it's a hypothetical, ofc he's long gone.
He would be like "Why UA-cam puts so many Ads in 20 minutes video, I have a family to feed and don't have money for youtube premium"
He sees.
He would be amazed by some of the modern tools we have.
You can literally make anything. A true engineer and craftsman.
Thank you very much :-)
he also have a crazy equipment
@@alessioborromeo crazy equipment and have skills too
@@kroz3673 obv
Alessio Borromeo Just cause you have equipment doesn’t mean you’re set
I'm just continuously rewatching old videos. Always such a pleasure.
Thank you so much for your support :-)
The quality of these restorations is amazing. Your perfectionism within these projects pleases the perfectionism within me.
The fact that Germans designed ratchet screwdriver with such precision is amazing, you did super amazing job by restoring it....
I'm even more mad that as a country the United States spent the majority of our history screwing things in and unscrewing them back out and after over 100 years NOBODY THOUGHT OF A BETTER DESIGN THAN A PLAIN OLD SCREWDRIVER!!!

@@daddydraza Check out Mister Patina's recent work on the restoration of a large bronze lighter. Taking it apart, he disfigures the flint stand with pliers. This is impossible for My Mechanics.
Mr. Patina is just one of many. He is far from the heights.
It's been years now of watching all kinds of restoration videos from various channels. This one is still way up there as one of the most epic and impressive. There's just nothing that compares to it.
Absolutamente. Nenhum se compara. 🤝🏻
Incredible! Not many people would have saved that rusty old tool but you made it better than it was when it was new!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :-)
Respect also goes out to the German engineers who designed and created this masterpiece. Without CAD, 3D printing and CAM. Just imagination, a pen and some pieces of paper. They were true masters of their field.
It's an amazing tool.
Germans have always been like that. Intelligent and masterful in anything they do
@Alan 141 German Science is the best in the world!!!!!
@@greenherooftheinterwebz7078 it was.. nowadays we are a laughing stock of idiots and politicians who gladly would want the internet censored and neglected modernisation to the point public structures like schools or bridges are safety hazards.

If you’re going to watch ONE “restoration” guy, this is the one. I have yet to see anyone else come even close to this level of accuracy and commitment.
As always, exceptional work!
Exactly I’ve seen many but he is truly the best
Великолепно! Большое удовольствие наблюдать за работой мастера! )))

@@user-ns4lf9sc8t да чё ж ты заскулил сразу ? Держи себя в руках.
This is such a cool tool ! This is probably the most useful thing I've seen being brought to life in this way.
No silly music. Just a man doing a honest job NICE.
the music is the all the different noises made by the metal, wood and machinery
Honest job? That’s not his wife’s opinion. She thinks he is wasting time instead of doing his house chores...you know, honey do this.Honey do that..
he is very honest and upright guy
Wow that's awesome
If the original manufacturer of this thing could see this, he'd be immensely proud.
This is the best comment I have seen today! Absolute truth
Many of the techniques didn't exist in that time. That's why this tool is also obsolete
To come up with the idea of how to make it is impressive. These old Germans were smart.
@@suprememasteroftheuniverse screwdriver is obsolete? Are you high?
@@Hsaelt Hahahaha
Well done, noone would be able to tell this is a 129 yr old screwdriver. Perfect!
I love that you take things that are unusable and repair them so that they become useable again. Now it's a tool that can last another 100 years if cared for properly.
If only the German craftsmen that orginally made this could see the care someone over 100 years later would have in restoring their creation.
Yup ! Would be epic
the same man who invented this also came up with the nose measuring tool used by the Nazi’s to identify jews
@@abrahamlorenzo421 source?
@@abrahamlorenzo421 ... or just a little denouncement, only because the inventor of this tool was a german? :-/
@@abrahamlorenzo421 Sounds like a based man.
The second handle to apply more torque with is a really nifty idea, and i wonder why more screwdrivers don't have that
its ancient german knowledge that has just been reencountered
Durability
Most do... It's a hole at the but of the handle that you can insert a rod or another screwdriver into (it isn't only for hanging on a walk)
But this has very limited use as most old screws break under that kind off torque
@@vaulttraveler3478 Might not be a problem if the handle has somewhere to snap to and is made out of metal
A lot of quality screwdriver have a bolt head shape at the base of the screwdriver that you can stick a wrench on for the same use
And cheap ones we just stick a pin in the wall mounting hole for torque
I really appreciate that you showed how hard it was to disassemble this! I feel like some restoration channels stick to "progress" without covering how you have to deal with issues like screw heads stripping, or the handle snapping while you try to wiggle it off.
I feel very discouraged sometimes, when it seems like channels have zero problems and have a project done, seemingly, in an hour or two. It would be really great to get am estimate at the end of roughly how long it takes to restore an item.
That is a fantastic screwdriver and I wish they were all designed like that
You've made a BALL out of a metal rod... I'm amazed.
Same, I never thought this is possible with a mill
So that's how ya' do it.
A perfect ball
That bit had my jaw agape
I came here to say this!
Making that ball was the most satisfying thing I've seen all week!
All month !👍
Making that ball was the most unnecessary thing I've seen all week! :)
Waste of time and stock.
If you weren’t a master level craftsman, you’d probably be a Oscar winning director/cinematographer honestly. The pacing of every video is on point, absolutely zero wasted time. The macro shots of the smaller component restoring is grips me every single time.
Truly amazing content, I have shared your videos in the past to great reception
I keep returning to this engineering masterpiece
Paired with your unbelievable talent
It deserves the 76M views it has
The term "German Engineering" exists for a reason!
Side note, this was SOOOO satisfying to watch!

This is history. It is the origin of the saying.
Whoever designed the original was/is genius.
Wir deutsche können nicht viel, aber wenn es um das bauen und entwickeln von Dingen geht, sagt uns keiner wie man das zu machen hat
Gotta respect the Germans for that
@@quentinlopez7127 Wir Deutsche konnten mal viel, nicht nur bauen & entwickeln. Nicht umsonst nannte man Deutschland "das Land der Dichter und Denker".

For an 1891 tool I think the genius "was"... I doubt very much he or she could stay alive yet, worse with two world wars and 3rd reich in between. All my respects nonetheless.
I had thought no way 🤔then you Blew my mind 🤯made me feel 🫠the patience you demonstrate and the skill and knowledge that you have to not only disassemble these restorations but to completely, utterly restore every facet of the object, down to every spring, screw, ball, cap, every slot, notch, lip, thread… every time you use that tap and die I’m dying with excitement to see you screw the thing back together the drama of this video is amazing I love all your videos but this one with the spring and the ball and the new handle man you’re a master. I respect your abilities. I have been restoring tools for about a year now and to see how you do it is so inspirational. Old tools had so much more functionality than tools of today, the way a tool was built made it possible that if they were used carefully and taken care of they can through multiple lifetimes, and even if they were said to be “beyond repair” or scrap junk a man like yourself could come along and fix it and it will
Last another dozen lifetimes. A tool like this one is so amazing and useful and just needs to be appreciated I feel good just knowing you have given it a new life and that millions of people have seen the work that you have done. Bravo sir. I am in awe of your craftsmanship.
I think this is my favorite restoration. The attention to detail and the tool itself go hand in hand. Great job.
This Screwdriver looks much better than 90% of modern Screwdrivers I saw!
this thing is the equivalent to an modern cordless screwdriver.
no need for this anymore.
Wow, probably the best machinist I have ever seen. This guy has some serious skills. The pure craftsmanship and skill is mind blowing!
He can make his own car,weapons..

Not only are his skills amazing, the camera work is the best I’ve ever seen.
Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it :-)
I agree, without the camera work, most of the work would be unappreciated.
One of the best screwdriver designs I have seen, much better than most today. You are a master craftsman working metal. You could easily restore a pair of binoculars from a WWII battleship.
restauring optics is another job which requires skills and special tools.
@@marwenyahyaoui3799 this and that are two completely different fields of the sciences! 😄
jagtan13 I think you two completely missed the point he was making.
@@Playdory It's all in good fun. The juxtaposition of having worked on a screwdriver, potentially the simplest tool next to a hammer, to a set of binoculars is a big leap in technology. I find it humorous, like the phrase, "shoot for the Moon." Off course anyone with skills and knowledge of the sciences can work on any project of their choosing; It is genuinely entertaining to engage the mind by taking a look at what our forefathers' achievements were. What knowledge we can glean from their innovations and technology can only help be improved upon in the future.
Hell,he could restore the battleship.
So enjoyed this video …a very talented engineer….brought back too life too be a useful tool again …superb. Wish I was as talented.
You can do it!
Not one word spoken throughout, but you can hear a breath of air when he removed the dust shavings from the screw. That wasn’t expected. Haha.
The tool and its design is also very impressive given the time period, german engineers really knew their stuff back then.
and they still do

Turning the ball was nice to see. Never seen this before
The ball turning technique has been the standard method of making a sphere in a machine shop for 100 years, not as unique as you may tjink.
But AS an cutting machine Operator i never saw it with a Combination of NC Turner Chuck and a outturning tool
This is proof that not everything needs to be verbally explained. The only sounds coming from the tools and process is hypnotically peaceful
Thank God this channel has no music, but I would love to hear some voice overs as to techniques.
Big eye open for this video, stopped breathing to end finishing of work,no word ❤️👍👌
I tend to watch this video over and over again.…I am fascinated by this restoration technique, but I am also impressed that the tools of the 19th century are just as good in the 21st century.
alemania tenia la tecnologia que ningun otro pais podria tener , los zepellin un ejemplo
This has to be one of the sexiest screwdrivers I’ve ever seen!! You should make replicas!!
I would buy one !!!
Me too.
it's german, means there is nothing better
I would buy one too, if you send it to Brazil!
I want one too this looks so cool

Not only are you a master at restoration and videography, but the tools you choose to restore are are incredible, too. I continue to be blown away by your work
Cracking job done there. If I had the skills and tools to do the same, my house would be full of old tools and items ready to restore, I'd never be bored again.
I like everytime when you are facing a problem,
"I make a new one.", calmly and confidently.
When he zoomed up on oddly shaped damaged ball, and said... no worry.. I MAKE NEW ONE.. I shat. a fucking sphere-shaping machinist tool then just blew my mind, sad about no spring part though lol).
I had no idea that the ratchet principle is that old, but German engineering was ahead of its time.
Yes indeed

Well, I would imagine he does have a day job. Plus, toss in a covid lockdown. ☹️
For the sake of your sanity: He re-did his workshop 1st, then he got a Crash Course in Videography from a friend (notice the 4k on this Video), and then he had a few vacation days in between (and also found a lot of new things to try and restore!), and for the last two weeks- he's been restoring this Screwdriver!
А ведь прошло уже 130 лет. Талантлив изобретатель, который придумал такую отвёртку и не менее талантлив реставратор, у которого золотые руки

Absolutely unbelievable!! I watch his videos and sit here just shaking my head because I can’t believe anyone could this much skill and knowledge! I look at some of these pieces and think, there is NO WAY anyone can get that thing working again! And then not only does he make it work again, but it’s probably better than it was brand new! this man is a genius!

何でも使い捨てにする時代に良いものをまた蘇らせるって凄いです。拍手。
I'd honestly love a screwdriver like this. The added lever, the satisfying clicking. Just so good. One of those tools I'd try to find a reason to use as much as I could.
When you thought the video couldn't get better...."this part needs sandblasting". YEEEAAHHH LETS GO BABY!!!
That line and "I make a new one" are my favorite parts of My Mechanics' videos! 😄
my favorite part of the vids, for sure
"adding material" AWHHH FUCC YA DO IT
How about a series called "make a new one" where you restore nothing, but recreate some old tool using photos and manuals for reference?
good Idea!!
I second that :)
his second channel has it
That's exactly what he does most of the time.
Can’t second that, so third that.
You have earned the title Master Craftsman. Beautiful work with the restoration and attention to the smallest details!
Most of these "restoration" channels are about as honest as the cottage industry of "first time" music reaction videos.😂

Оскар за съёмку. Приятно смотреть на процесс и кульминацию. Умеют немцы делать вещи.
Your work is spectacular, and so satisfying to watch, I can hear my OCD purring! Very cool.
They should remake this design. A lot better design than most of the currently available ratcheting screw drivers.
They don't make stuff like they used to
The materials and work needed to make these mass-produced would make the thing cost $50+. Way more than the $12 or so a common ratchet runs. The "they don't make them like the used to" thing is an artifact of the constant drive to make things cost about what they used to cost, usually by making ever cheaper designs and using poorer materials. Welcome to post-modern capitalism.
I have a rachetless clutch type , totally smooth , made by britool from the 90s, 1990s.
I know, right?
Nothing last forever and time changes everything it's just the way the world is so get used to it we no longer live in a world of wood and steal because Plastic and rubber is the preferred method of the new world and that's just the way it is
Germans had this 130 years ago. Let that sink in for a moment.
