    I loved my Yankee screwdrivers. I had a big one and a smaller one. No batteries required, worked perfectly when the grid was up or down.

    Sometimes it is hard to believe the before restoration and the after restoration are the same pieces
    Great Job...Well Done 👍😁👍

    I still have the large one on a shelf in my shed with a box full of bits both flat head and crossheads, I used it every day in the 80's while my friends used ordinary screwdrivers this screwdriver blast screws in and out with ease. Great job on the restoration.

    Very nicely done. I will be doing one just like it so it was helpful to see someone do it first

    Tool is great for piercing the foot. Banged up from years at the bottom of the tool box. Pretty!

      Brian Gardner the first ones made by north bro’s tools had no spring in them the spring was added in later models and popularly in the Stanley version of it

    Great job. That bit tip holder idea is genius. I can also use uit with my torx screws too.

      You can buy adapters for the yankee screwdrivers that convert them to normal bits

  • @georgecurtis6463
    @georgecurtis6463 4 роки тому +1

    I have 3 normal sized ones and a rather large one. They are all in great shape. I rotate them for use except the large one. Fun to use.

    Nice! Looks like a really early incarnation of the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver.

    I have a similar item in my toolbox (inherited from my late grandfather) whilst it works it is in need of some TLC and now thanks to you I know how. I believe mine is British made however.

    That’s awesome. You could put that mechanism into an arbor press and have a really unique drill press that doesn’t use a motor or wheel.

    @miguelbender3905 3 роки тому +2

    I have one exactly like yours, i would like to restore it in a future, but i think you have forgotten to reinstall the big spring it have inside the handle. Very nice and worked restoration

    Mam identyczne urządzenie, radzieckie, kupione w ZSRR w latach 70-tych. Komplet wkrętak, kilkanaście końcówek w gustownej metalowej kasetce.

    I used to have one of these. They're great if they aren't worn out too badly. If they are, they get janky pretty quick.

    The pump action should come out on a spring, your is missing.

    • @AlexBRestoration
      @AlexBRestoration  4 роки тому

      Great tools mine are still in regular use ,plus I have several of this type still usable ,that came from my wife’s grandfather and my own father I’m in my sixties so the reliability of the tool is terrific.

  • @joehunter2476
    @joehunter2476 3 роки тому

    I own about 6 of these Yankee screwdrivers and this without doubt the worst so-called restoration I’ve ever seen he didn’t have the spring and he ground off the release catch u need that ruff edge to release the spring on the screwdriver for it to pump up and down and yes I still use mine after 40 years the bits are getting hard to come by ,but I wouldn’t part with it
    ,but I wouldn’t part with it

  • @angelaslaney1514

    Isn't it lacking the spring to extend the push action without needing a second hand on the collar?

    • @AlexBRestoration

    Who knew so much gunk could be inside one ratchet screwdriver handle. In my miss spent youth I worked for a window fitter his ratchet screwdriver handle was a much prized position.

  • @patjohnson3100

    My dad had one of these that was given to him by his father (my grandfather).. which i still have his (my grandfathers) toolbox. The toolbox was hand made out of solid wood, full of the old style hand lathes. i believe they called it a ratchet driver.. but i dunno.

  • @williamjones9395
    @williamjones9395 4 роки тому +1

    I have 2 of these, but the larger version. They work great. Truly a "cordless" tool.
    Mine are made by Stanley, when they made everything in the US.

  • @roybailey1134
    @roybailey1134 7 місяців тому

    Good job. It seems you're missing the spring in the handle. There should be a large spring.

    That screw driver should have a spring to push the spiral out ?

    • @AlexBRestoration
      @AlexBRestoration  4 роки тому

      yes i know but i searched all over the internet and i didn't find this spring, the only chance is to search through carboot when they open.thank you for comment.

      Civicboomer mine's exactly the same as that one, I inherited it from my grandfather a coffin maker/carpenter prior to the war and it has a spring.
