Wow!! Everything turned out great!! I am so surprised that was a spoke tightener haha. I got it in a lot of tools I bought at an auction in a tool box full of 1”-3” drill bits. I bought it for the wooden tool box. Again so glad you enjoyed them!! Keep up the amazing work!!!
I'll tell you one thing, I've never seen a plier restoration like those long ones that you did. They're absolutely beautiful. Your talent never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for a great video. Take care.
What a treat! Those piers came out amazing! Very cool to see you make the center pivot from the carriage bolt too. Gosh, you are super talented! Thank so much for showing us your restoration process. Great fun and inspirational!
Great Restorations Scoutcrafter!!! That replacement rivet is over the top! I really liked the music during the lathe work! Sounded like typical 50s commercial music for everyday household items. LOL!! The spoke tool is cool, never would have guessed. Kudos to Brian for sharing his tools!!
Those pliers... turned out beautiful. I think this may be my favorite plier restoration to date. The brushed finish on the head with contrast to the high luster handles and rivet. Just stunning work SC. My father and I look forward to what you got in store. Thanks SC
Never seen a spoke tightener before... awesome! Great job as always on the pliers. I tend to just ‘brighten up’ or ‘refresh’ old tools based on believing that old tools carry a part of the old guys that used them before. Maybe not something as serious as a piece of their soul, but maybe some of their spirit or essence. Could just be wishful thinking on my part... thinking some old, probably passed by now, guys tools will keep me from doing something stupid when I’m using them now.
HKF! If I am going to use the tool I will usually just do a clean-up and lubrication however I am making up a collection of modified tools just for the fun of it! =)
Nice refurbishments! I agree that sometimes keeping a reminder of the human life that was touched by a tool makes a personal connection which is real. Thanks especially for solving a mystery around the antique spoke wrench. I loved those wheels on early cars, especially British motors, with the glistening chromed spokes. I bet they were a lot of work to true up!
Both sets of pliers came out great. Restored and back to work the go. The old spoke wrench would be an interesting tool to add to the collection. Great job as always Scout. Brian, awesome care package, thank you for sharing.
Excellent video. The previous vido about removing thumbscrew pins from adjustable wrenches will be a boon to anyone restoring or just making the tool usable again. I've seen pliers and other quality tools that are completely unmarked like the set in which you replaced the pivot pin/screw. I have several tools like this and I know that they were sometimes bulk ordered by companies and plants for internal factory use. I have pliers similar to the set you restored and they were made by the Utica Tool Company in the 50's for the Hickory Springs Company in Hickory NC. Hickory Springs made bed box spring sets so they used a lot of wire cutting pliers. The pliers I have were painted gray with no other finish or plating applied. Before I retired I was given a tour of the Vermont American screwdriver plant to look at their tool marking systems. The manager told me that VA would sell you a bulk order with the screwdrivers marked any way you wanted or with nothing at all. The point being that if you know your tools, you can sometimes pick out a quality tool from a box full of tools even if it has no markings at all.
When I see old tools repaired so they can continue to be used puts a smile on my face and also my grandpa when he was alive. He was an old farmer who didn’t throw tools away he fixed them till they couldn’t be used anymore. Love the spike tightener! You always amaze!
Nice Restoration my friend Scout Crafter. New life for this antique pliers the polished is really awesome, the lathe machine is a great help in this case. To machining the screw to replace the old rivet, thanks exelent video!!!
With regards to the "user marks" that you mentioned and the repair on the parallel pliers that you left in place. I like to use things that have character. Sure, I have a lot of tools that are in great condition and I keep 'em clean, adjusted, and lubricated so that they don't wear out. But my favorite tools are the ones that have marks on them that show they have been used (or even misused) over time. The Japanese actually have a word for when they repair something but they let the repair show. It's Kintsugi. It is used mostly for broken pottery when they pour molten gold into the cracks so that they stand out - in a big way. They embrace flaws and imperfections, not in everything, but in certain things, and think they are even more beautiful after the repair. I agree. So I totally agree with your decision to leave the repair to the parallel pliers as is, both because the repair itself is beautiful to me AND to honor whoever spent the time to do it however long ago.
WOW you made those pliers look like a surgical instrument! Excellent job on the bolt-pin! Thanks for the education on the spoke wrench! I love your channel!
I’m loving the frequency of your videos these days Scout! My day is always made when I see that you have uploaded a new video! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your channel is my favourite - thanks for your awesome content!
My Dad alway referred to repairs like that as Grandpa fixes. Of course in the Military they were called Field Repairs. Like you I would have left it alone...in homage! BTW as long as I've fooled around with motorcycles I've never seen a spoke wrench like that, and I do have a more traditional spoke wrench. As for the large pliers repair: Bravo! ...Newk from Kentucky
Hi Newk! Yes! This repair was old-timey looking and I just imagined some old timer peening it down! =) As for the spoke wrench, we were born way too late to have seen them in use! =) Thanks!!!!!!
What a caring viewer this Brian from your community, we know we are in a good place with great company, he made a great move sending those tool to you, and based on the tools you have these are going to be in and stay in good hands for many years to come. We do not know what that tool is yet, meaning not until you share with us along the way ion this video agree with you it is a very focused purpose tool. Nice lathe work something we know a bit about so comfortable here now. Th tools you do really come out so nice look likely better then as new? maybe either way you do tools nice. No never would have known it was a spoke for the bike or baby buggy wrench. Thank you, Lance & Patrick.
Wow now those pliers made a transformation, they look great. The time spent on them really shows. The things you leave on the Bernards is what I would call patina, and I agree sometimes that's just good.
I guessed it was a spoke wrench! Thought it was a hand vise at first, but when I saw the open end I realized it was a spoke wrench. And those pliers came out really great!!
Hello Doug! You know the older we get the more common that is... One day our friends will say the same about us! We only get a short ride on this Blue Marble and it's up to to make the best of it! I'm sorry for your loss and soon we will all meet up with all out lost loved ones... Until then we do our best to do good! Thanks!!!!!!!
I’m an antique hand tool junkie, and I actually love getting repaired, damaged and etched tools. I always wonder what they were doing to damage the tool, and how stressful that job must have been. I’d love to know about the men who once owned these tools, what kind of tradesman they were, and how skilled they might have been. I wonder who “Geo. S. L.” was, or who “Otto” might have been. I wonder why and where they bought the tool, what they paid for it...my mind just rambles. Repaired tools??? I love them!!!
Hi Anna!!! It's funny how we can find interesting things about old items... Usually I will remove a name scratched into a tool I am restoring but sometimes the owner used an engraver or did a really nice job and I will leave it! Thanks so much!!!!!
As always - great vid Scout! Thanks for the tutorial for removing the rivet and replacing the pin for it. Also agree with your tribute to whoever fixed the Bernards. Soft platen...seems familiar...you said it was coming :) Thanks for this. Cannot believe I made it within the top two comments!
Hi Lee! LOL I used to have sticks with different pads glued on them for soft platins but eventually you get comfortable with your own tricks! I want to try some better belts like Norton's! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
I think satin is my favourite finish. You did a fantastic job on these. I've never seen a spoke tightener before! I was laughing to myself when you said you'd be oiling the pliers every day.. Im imaging some megasized 7-day pill box with with scoutcrafter's daily jobs inside.
Hi Andrew! LOL Really I meant for the next couple weeks I will be wiping oil off the pliers as it seeps out of the joints! =) They only need oiling once a year! Thanks!!!!!!
I'm pretty new to tools and have some of the basics, but I'd love to see "Top 10 essential tools everyone should have" video according to ScoutCrafter. Love the videos. Keep it up.
That turned out very nice! They were badly pitted but after you were done with them who would have guessed! Still cold and snowy here 5" last night again. Too cold to do anything to the damaged shop until it warms up. Have tools soaking in kerosene until I can get to them!
Hi Michael! Excellent! A good soak in Kerosene will really do wonder for the tools!!!! =) Hang in there because Spring is right around the corner! Thanks!!!!!
Hi scout, those parrarlel pliers are great ,good decision on what you did whith them, they were users . If only these old tools could talk, the places they've been and the conversations they heard ,it would be fascinating . Great rebuild on the second set of pliers ,reminds me of some Ridgid make ? . Real cute small auto wrench. Kind regards. Stuart.
Howdy, Well, I am so dern glad that you ID'ed that spoke tightener, I have 3 of them, I really never knew what they were, but now I do, Thanks. I, like Brian, got em with other stuff at an auction, but for me, that is not a surprise, I work enough Auctions that stuff follows me home a lot, my wife thinks it is a sickness, but I am pretty sure it is just a slight fever, Tool Fool Fever.
Does'nt restoring old tools just give them back they're soul!!! Theres just something really cool about steel having a nice clean used appearance. Fantastic job!! (ps: the paralell pliers remind me of Frankie & Louie from the old Budweiser ads lol)
Beautiful pair of pliers they turned out great. Nice to have a lathe someday I'm going to get one a small one for me ?? God bless you family and friends.
@@timothynewkirk2654 I know the thing is I live in Puerto Rico and they don't sell many here but I'm planning to go back to the States that's why I say soon I'll be getting one.. can't wait
Can't wait for the next episode. What is going to be interesting is the Coe's pipe wrench. I acquired a wrench that looks identical and I mean IDENTICAL. With the exception of the maker. I can't bring myself yet to take it to the wire wheel. The opposite side has a triangle with a "W" to the left, a "B" to the right, "Co" on the bottom and "Made in USA" in the diamond. It came with a little paper tag and string attached that reads "Whitman and Barnes, Akron? Ohio, 1848-1915 ".
Those were nice. I had no clue about the spoke tightener. I had a MG Midget when I was in college and it had wire wheels. I had a little open end wrench to tighten them. I'd tap the spoke and if it sounded really off I'd tighten it up. I don't know how it is done professionally. - Kathie
Hi Kathie! "Truing" wheels is an art! Normally you place the wheel on a centering jig that allows you to spin the wheel and see if it's running true.. When it is off to one side you loosen one side and tighten the other.. Always spinning and keeping the wheel spinning... It's a wonderful thing to see someone who is proficient at it!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
The big pliers are "Utica 1000-10".. Lineman or Fence Pliers. I have the exact same pliers, but mine are stamped by the manufacturer. And you're right, the rivet does look a tad small. The rivet heads on mine are a bit bigger.
Very nice work as always. The large unnamed pliers looks superb. I’m not sure why pliers like that have no makers markings on them. I have a few pairs myself most without markings and some with the brand Wynn Timmins. Great sized pliers though.
Man, those unknown pliers and the Bernards came out great. I feel the same way about that copper washer as a tribute to some tinkerer who did that as a solution and Id keep it too as a nod to that man whoever he was. He probably used them for decades and well worn in things that have that character always echo in a soft spot in me too. I picture someones father doing that to his beloved tool and to take it out would kind of negate his efforts.
Hi Joe! You are so right! If I was restoring them I would have to fix them but for a pair of user pliers they will do just fine and like you said a remembrance of the person who repaired it! =) Thanks Joe!
Love the parallel pliers sc, own a pair myself. They are still used by surgeons in the nhs today for wiring up the unfortunate. Thats where my pair originally come from
@@ScoutCrafter I love the wire wheel too, but after you use the Evapo-Rust it makes the finish come out much better. It's available at Harbor Freight. It's a little pricey but it is well worth the money and can be used over and over until it stops working. It's Also safe to get on your hands and doesn't smell all that bad either. Have a good one and keep up the great videos.
Hi Roy, The spoke nut passed thru a hole in the rim around the threaded end of the spoke and that's what is tightened... The shaft I was demonstrating on wasn't a real spoke. =) Thanks so much!!!!!
Invest in some silicone grease the clear stuff every bolted closed moving joint will float afterwards just don't get it on your fingers youll not be able to pick anything up for a couple of days LOL and WOW them pliers you did buddy A+
I'd love that cose wrench in my collection!! Idk but I love the design of them. By the way, I got the dewalt radial arm saw motor to start. It just needed a new capacitor. It runs like new! Now I'm waiting for the base to be fixed and then I can repaint and put back together.
That small one looks like a spoke wrench, based on the size I would guess it’s for motorcycle wheels maybe even spoked car wheels. They are used to adjust spoke tension.
Hey Scout. I was recently organizing my dad's toolboxes and came across an old Craftsman Vanadium 6 inch diagonal cutter. From what I can tell, it was made between 1930-1938. Could I possibly send it to you for a restoration job? I will try to find more of the same era, but I highly doubt I'll find another like this.
Love, love, love seeing you replace that rivet. I hope I don't sound like a broken record. You're just amazing. Can you tell me what grit you used on the belts for those pliers?
Hi Ben! My go to grit is 220 and even when it wears down it does a great job! The belts cost about a dollar a piece so they are cheap enough to replace often... If the top is really pitted bad you can grind it down to fresh metal with 120 grit and then take the scratches out with 220! Then if you want to mirror polish it you hit it with 320 and 400 real fast to soften the scratches even more. I like the satin look as it looks original and hides fingerprints! LOL Thanks Ben!!!!!
Did you clean up a set of Bernard 1892 a few days ago I really like the way those came out to and the rivet on the one you did today gives it character shows that it was used as a daily go to tool
Wow!! Everything turned out great!! I am so surprised that was a spoke tightener haha. I got it in a lot of tools I bought at an auction in a tool box full of 1”-3” drill bits. I bought it for the wooden tool box. Again so glad you enjoyed them!! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Brian Rust Thanks from a fellow viewer for sending these in. I enjoyed watching the restoration.
Thanks man! It was very cool to see him do his magic on them!
Hi Brian!!!!! Sorry it took so long but I really appreciate all the great tools! They all are great! Thanks again so much! =)

Your videos never get old. I want those pliers in my tool box. Awesome job thank you
Brand new now for the pliers .The spoke wrench, a rare one for me. Thanks again.
Hello Norherman! The spoke wrench is hardly ever seen today! Thanks so much!!!!
Both sets of pliers came out great. Restored and back to work the go. The old spoke wrench would be an interesting tool to add to the collection. Great job as always Scout. Brian, awesome care package, thank you for sharing.

Tremendous job on the second tool and how nice of Brian to send that package. There are some very nice people on this channel. Thanks for the video.
Hi Tony! Really nice people!!!!! Thanks !!!!!!!
Fantastic restorations and both the Bernards and Button pliers would look good in any tool chest. I was completely foxed on the spoke tool!.
I wonder if the spoke tightner was used on the model A Ford's , l think they all had spoke rims , great job and thanks for the history ( Doug Ga )
Hi Tony! Not too many would ever guess a spoke wrench! LOL Especially from 1894! LOL Thanks so much!
@@francispotter5300 Yes! Anything with spokes!
GREAT!! Always Fascinating!! That spoke tightener also worked on old Automobole and Motorcycle wire wheels! Not a gadget you see much anymore!
Hi Bill! Yes! Anything with spokes! Thick spokes were very common back then! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!
I just knew when I saw those beat up pliers they were gonna turn out beautiful. Always a pleasure and informative watching you.
Thanks so much Jim!!!!!!!
Great "lot" of tools and a fine job as usual,my friend 👍😎🤠
Thanks so much Jim!!!!!!

Problem solving , and unusual tool identification! Pins and rivets! Great channel!
Thanks Brian!!!!!
Very nice! I love watching your videos. Those tools look great, especially the pliers you re-riveted. Beautiful things.
Thanks so much!!!! I really appreciate that!
That's a nice bunch of tools they are very interesting they cleaned up nice. That spoke wrench is interesting.
Hi Tommy! None of us were around for the spoke wrench! LOL We are too young! =) Thanks Tommy!
John , this is another very good tool video, you surely know tools.
Hi Ron! I do like pliers of all types! LOL There are so many variations, you could collect only pliers and never make a dent!
I guessed it was a spoke wrench! Thought it was a hand vise at first, but when I saw the open end I realized it was a spoke wrench. And those pliers came out really great!!
Hello LR! You are in the top 1% because 99% have no idea it's a spoke wrench! =) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not for safety Sally’s! Lol love it! Thanks for another beautiful restoration video
LOL The Safety Sally's hate me! =) Thanks!!!!!!
Wow the pliers turned out really nice, that's a great restoration! They look so much better with the new nut and bolt.
Thanks Ian!!!! I think so too, the other rivet looked so light-duty! LOL Thanks!

Can't wait for the next episode. What is going to be interesting is the Coe's pipe wrench. I acquired a wrench that looks identical and I mean IDENTICAL. With the exception of the maker. I can't bring myself yet to take it to the wire wheel. The opposite side has a triangle with a "W" to the left, a "B" to the right, "Co" on the bottom and "Made in USA" in the diamond. It came with a little paper tag and string attached that reads "Whitman and Barnes, Akron? Ohio, 1848-1915 ".
My go to resource for tools is Alloy-Artifacts.org A awesome reference site!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good sharing tools
what a job friend on both sets of pliers
Thanks Robert!!!!!
The last couple of videos have been outstanding
Thanks so much Clive!!!
Those were nice. I had no clue about the spoke tightener. I had a MG Midget when I was in college and it had wire wheels. I had a little open end wrench to tighten them. I'd tap the spoke and if it sounded really off I'd tighten it up. I don't know how it is done professionally. - Kathie
Hi Kathie! "Truing" wheels is an art! Normally you place the wheel on a centering jig that allows you to spin the wheel and see if it's running true.. When it is off to one side you loosen one side and tighten the other.. Always spinning and keeping the wheel spinning... It's a wonderful thing to see someone who is proficient at it!! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Enjoyed the video very informative!
But the restoration was amazing, nice work...
Thanks so much!!!!!!
The big pliers are "Utica 1000-10".. Lineman or Fence Pliers. I have the exact same pliers, but mine are stamped by the manufacturer.
And you're right, the rivet does look a tad small. The rivet heads on mine are a bit bigger.
Very nice work as always. The large unnamed pliers looks superb. I’m not sure why pliers like that have no makers markings on them. I have a few pairs myself most without markings and some with the brand Wynn Timmins. Great sized pliers though.
Thanks Bruce!!!!
Thanks! This was great always learn so much. Could not figure out that Spoke Tool! Thanks again for your channel very enjoyable!,,,
Thanks Brad!!!!!
Another great restoration video Scoutcrafter keep up the great work 😀👍🏻
Thanks so much!
That new pivot came out amazing! I bought a pair of hog ring pliers at the flea market that have that same indent in the jaws.
I have some hog ring pliers. You're right! Maybe those were a fencing plier feature to crimp rings! Very good! Thanks N!!!!!
Man, those unknown pliers and the Bernards came out great. I feel the same way about that copper washer as a tribute to some tinkerer who did that as a solution and Id keep it too as a nod to that man whoever he was. He probably used them for decades and well worn in things that have that character always echo in a soft spot in me too. I picture someones father doing that to his beloved tool and to take it out would kind of negate his efforts.
Hi Joe! You are so right! If I was restoring them I would have to fix them but for a pair of user pliers they will do just fine and like you said a remembrance of the person who repaired it! =) Thanks Joe!
Wow. Great job!
Great job as always!!
Thanks William!
Love the parallel pliers sc, own a pair myself. They are still used by surgeons in the nhs today for wiring up the unfortunate. Thats where my pair originally come from
Hello Tumbo! YES! I saw them advertised in a medical supply catalog! Awesome! Thanks!!!!!
I think the Wood wrench was used to remove bungs from 55-gallon drums. Is it non-sparking brass.
Hi John! You are the second person to mention Bung wrench! I have to make sure it isn't Beryllium!!!!!!!! That is toxic to sand! =O Thanks!!!!
@@ScoutCrafter most likely is beryllium copper and that is nasty stuff very toxic.
Great job on the "Unknown" pliers. I would like to suggest you give Evapo-Rust a try, it works better than vinegar and is a safe rust cutter.
Hi Ronald! I will definitely try it one day but it's been a while since I used any bath! LOL Right to the wire brush!
@@ScoutCrafter I love the wire wheel too, but after you use the
Evapo-Rust it makes the finish come out much better. It's available at Harbor Freight. It's a little pricey but it is well worth the money and can be used over and over until it stops working. It's Also safe to get on your hands and doesn't smell all that bad either. Have a good one and keep up the great videos.
The one marked "WOOD" is a bung wrench. I believe the spoke wrench works the nut end of the spoke because the other end of the spoke is threaded..
Hi Roy, The spoke nut passed thru a hole in the rim around the threaded end of the spoke and that's what is tightened... The shaft I was demonstrating on wasn't a real spoke. =) Thanks so much!!!!!
Great job. 3 down, 3 to go in this group!
LOL Thanks UD!
Great video my friend all shiny 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi John! Like new!!!! Feel so nice in the hand too! Thanks!
Invest in some silicone grease the clear stuff every bolted closed moving joint will float afterwards just don't get it on your fingers youll not be able to pick anything up for a couple of days LOL and WOW them pliers you did buddy A+
Hi Alex! LOL I already have the dropsies!!!!!! Ever since I turned 50!!! LOL Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love that cose wrench in my collection!! Idk but I love the design of them. By the way, I got the dewalt radial arm saw motor to start. It just needed a new capacitor. It runs like new! Now I'm waiting for the base to be fixed and then I can repaint and put back together.
Hello Mason! Awesome!!!! The Capacitor is always an issue with those saws when sitting outside!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!
You have some great restoration vids. I really enjoy watching them. What grit sand paper do you use on your belt sander before polishing? Thanks!
It's a spoke wrench--knew it right away.
Awesome! 99% of people would have no idea!
Thats very interesting scout 97 percent now i knew it was spoke wrench also my grandpa used one to tension all thread supports on his fruit trees
@@blindmelonlemonjello not quite how math works
@@traymuse3810 it was just meant to be comical brother not literal
That small one looks like a spoke wrench, based on the size I would guess it’s for motorcycle wheels maybe even spoked car wheels. They are used to adjust spoke tension.
You got it!!!! =) Thanks!
Hey Scout. I was recently organizing my dad's toolboxes and came across an old Craftsman Vanadium 6 inch diagonal cutter. From what I can tell, it was made between 1930-1938. Could I possibly send it to you for a restoration job? I will try to find more of the same era, but I highly doubt I'll find another like this.
Better than new. Very good job👍🏻
Thanks so much TD!!!!!!
Thanks great video and great job
Thanks Willy!!!!!!!!
You are amazing.
The long pliers are crescent brand fencing pliers
Gorgeous!
I am missing the riveting process. So beautiful the rivet was dat my urge to see the process is very strong.
Hello SS! I showed the entire process on a earlier plier video, I just can't remember what one! LOL Thanks!
Man those turned out super nice it's also my first time seeing some of these
Nice video. I like the no name pliers the best. Do you have or know about Keen Kutter tools? Very popular here in the central states.
Hi Dwight! Yes! Keen Kutters are awesome and I have a few tools from them however here on the East coast they aren't as available! Thanks!!!!!
Love, love, love seeing you replace that rivet. I hope I don't sound like a broken record. You're just amazing. Can you tell me what grit you used on the belts for those pliers?
Hi Ben! My go to grit is 220 and even when it wears down it does a great job! The belts cost about a dollar a piece so they are cheap enough to replace often... If the top is really pitted bad you can grind it down to fresh metal with 120 grit and then take the scratches out with 220! Then if you want to mirror polish it you hit it with 320 and 400 real fast to soften the scratches even more. I like the satin look as it looks original and hides fingerprints! LOL Thanks Ben!!!!!
That big wrench at the top looks like an old power line wrench
Hi scout another great video. Could the second pliers be for upholstery work? They would be great for hog rings. A beautiful job as always.
Hello Arthur! You might be right! Looks like a Hog Ring indent! Thanks !!!!!!!!!
Where do you get the music for your videos? The one at 9:00 sounds like quintessential 50s.
Hello PJ! UA-cam Creator Library! All copyright free! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Great Show as usual Scout! 😎👍🏼
Thanks so much!
Cool tools. I am a bicyclist but I did not guess what that tool was.
LOL We are way too young to have seen these around! LOL Thanks!!!!!
very cool tools
Did you clean up a set of Bernard 1892 a few days ago I really like the way those came out to and the rivet on the one you did today gives it character shows that it was used as a daily go to tool
Hi Thomas! Yes! =) Funny thing is I did this video before the other one that showed first! LOL Thanks!!!!!
