I've been performing this job for 50 years and my first move is to soak the metal objects in kerosene for several days - all bolts & nuts free-up and rust is magically loosened. If the object is large, I wrap it in burlap then saturate with kerosene. 😊
Found a 36 caliber Colt years ago, totally rusted up, dropped it into a bucket of coal oil and forgot it. About four months later the 💡came on. Disassembly, no problem, little 00 except for the pits, like new.

Never seen a wrench that looked like that before. Amazing what innovations were thought of back then. Some made it to modern day, others like this one never caught on. Nice restoration, like the copper plating, that's a rarity in restoration videos.
Definitely neat, I am curious if they actually work well, I think the biggest issue with the design is probably how massive the head is on it which would make it hard to use in tight spaces
My sister frequented farm estate sales in southern Saskatchewan looking for interesting tidbits like this. Not for resale but because she found them interesting. She gave me one of these wrenches before she passed. It is in very nice condition and with a bit of oil it works as it was intended to. I have it in my shop on the wall and like to show it off but it's amazing that someone went to the trouble to make this and patent it.

I just restored my great grand daddy's axe from 1896 last year. I replaced the handle, and I finished the restoration by replacing the head last week. Looks like new.
I have seen an adjustable wrench like that before. You did an awesome job of restoring it to working order, and it looks much better too. Excellent work as usual.
Neat video! Having worked on a lot of old farm equipment from back then, that wrench was better than many may think. Most bolts were basically a good grade of stove iron with huge square nuts. I imagine it also opens barrel bungs nicely, too!
Great job done ….love the added interest of the original paperwork…..Magdad does that …(a good “tuber” to aspire to imho )…seasons greetings to you and yours Peter P
The copper looks good with the bluing you did. The only problem is it's going to very obvious when you get any nicks and scratches on it. I would have gone with nickle myself. But that only matters if you're intending on using it or not.
That wrench doesn't reverse? I don't see how it could. What good is a one way wrench? One of my favorite tools is a Gater Grip socket. It's a 3/8" drive deep socket filled with spring loaded pins. One socket that will fit many different size nuts & bolts. Metric or SAE, it doesn't matter. I keep it in my vehicle tool bag because I don't need to carry a full socket set.
My goal was to use copper since i had never done that before and wanted to have some fun and give it a try. Blackening the opther pieces for some corrosion protection and I like the contrast in colors. Thanks for watching
I'm not exactly sure what or where you would use this wrench? Help anybody?? Thanks. Great video too. I've never seen quite a thing like that before and then see it done and finished working, fascinating!
Thanks Jeffrey! There are definitely much better tools available today. Although, back when this tool was made it may have been quite useful. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Cool wrench! Seems like something NASA would take into space except it would be titanium and cost 10 grand. How tight is that wrench? Adjustable wrenches get a bad rap because they have so much lash back. I don't know if having two adjusters on the same wrench is genius or asking for trouble.
Для хорошего воронения нужно было нагревать сильнее. Некоторые детали требовали реставрации. После омеднения нужно было тогда уж покрыть никелем. Теперь ключ станет зелёным😬
I makes the sandblasting process easier and faster. Also keeps the blasting media cleaning thus lasting longer before needing to be changed out. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
The copper plating was a nice touch, but how well did it adhere in the long run? I thought that to copper plate you first had to nickel plate, because copper wouldn't adhere directly to steel, cast iron, aluminum, whatever, without the intermediate plating of nickel. The copper doesn't plate the part itself, right? Instead, the copper plates the nickel plating. Or did I miss something?
I saw the blue solution and immediately thought it was copper solution, then second guessed myself because I’ve never seen copper plating for a restoration 😅 looks great though. I am curious if your thought to use copper wool for the polish step. Would that have helped?
That would be a good idea but that's not very entertaining to watch, and most people really enjoy watching the sandblasting process. These are not really "how to" videos more they are for entertainment. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Hi there! the glass bowl I use is a glass stovetop cooking pot. Make sure your Pyrex is meant for high heat and I think it would be fine. I just use basic motor oil but just about any oil will do. I've used corn oil in the past with similar results. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I agree! Some of these old tools are amazing. I just glad I getbto save a few of them. Thanks for watching and commenting!

looks like it's super awkward to use it . looks cool but that's it. to keep the center over the bolt you need to turn both wheels equaly
@@ronblack7870 you might not always want it in the center.
Definitely neat, I am curious if they actually work well, I think the biggest issue with the design is probably how massive the head is on it which would make it hard to use in tight spaces

I can see why that's your favorite wrench! Nice, respectful restoration.
Thanks 👍
Love old bits of kit being bought back to life to work again!. Nice one!.
Thanks Rob, much appreciated!
Cool copper finish on the body of the wrench! Looks great
Such an ingeniously designed tool. Great choice for restoration!
Holy this is one of the coolest wrenches ever made!
I agree, thanks!
Wow what a nice job on an odd tool but a neat tool.
I will support this channel.
Always keep safe
Thanks so much!
I’m 12-year I absolutely love restoring tools for my dad’s tools are sparkly clean. I got my own drill . I got my impact got me a big toolbo
It’s beautifully designed.
great resto! would have been good to see the wrench in action
Thank You! Stay tuned for this wrench in action, video coming soon. Thanks!!
I have one of these wrenches in very nice original condition. Wish I could post a pic here. It's a cool old ratchet wrench!

Great video. Between taking apart, cleaning & reassembling,fantastic show.
Thanks Rick!
I will certainly keep my eyes open for something like this no matter how rusted. I would let it soak in rust remover for a couple of months, though.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Heru!

Nice wrench nice restore , deserved these views !!!!
Mmm... Freshly cooked parts 🤤
Pretty unusual tool for sure. Not sure what it could be used for or replace other wrenches. But nice all the same. Thumbs Up!
Looks like it may have been the inspiration for the ice cream scoop...or vice versa.
I've never seen a wrench like that before. Interesting design. Subscribed.

Wat u use for rust soaker? I found WD-soaker comes in a gallon works well. And u can re use u till or turns black. Then best of all its biodegradable

Когда был изготовлен такой интересный ключ?
В каком году?
Изобретатель ключа мододец.
Мастер, который подарил ему вторую жизнь тоже молодец!
As a fan of restoration channels and machining channels I would love to see how these parts were made !
Hi Tony, I agree! How they made the parts so long ago would be fascinating to see! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Was the body originally copper? If not, what do you think it was?
That wrench doesn't reverse? I don't see how it could. What good is a one way wrench?
One of my favorite tools is a Gater Grip socket. It's a 3/8" drive deep socket filled with spring loaded pins. One socket that will fit many different size nuts & bolts. Metric or SAE, it doesn't matter. I keep it in my vehicle tool bag because I don't need to carry a full socket set.
Yes, it does reverse. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
How does it reverse? Could you add that to the video? I can't picture it...
Unusual wrench, but cool nonetheless. Too bad you lost some footage, but it was an enjoyable video to watch. Great job!
Losing that footage was super disappointing. I had to use penetrating oil as we as a bit of heat. Thanks for watching!
Скажите пожалуйста, какую цель вы приследовали, делая омеднение корпуса и чернение подвижных частей универсального ключа?

interesting wrench I must say. I wonder what its target market was.
Cool wrench! Seems like something NASA would take into space except it would be titanium and cost 10 grand.
How tight is that wrench? Adjustable wrenches get a bad rap because they have so much lash back. I don't know if having two adjusters on the same wrench is genius or asking for trouble.
This one has about the same amount of back lash as a decently made adjustable wrench of modern day. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Для хорошего воронения нужно было нагревать сильнее. Некоторые детали требовали реставрации. После омеднения нужно было тогда уж покрыть никелем. Теперь ключ станет зелёным😬
More heat would ruin the temper of the metal. Copper does not turn green in my area. And so what if it did?
love the restoration skills. What did you use on the handle? Think I'd have blued it.,
Beautiful job! What kind of oil did you use for the hot blueing?
Thank You! I just used motor oil for this one. Thanks for watching!
Just a question. Why do the rust removal step when you are sandblasting after? Wouldn't sandblasting alone be the same?
I makes the sandblasting process easier and faster. Also keeps the blasting media cleaning thus lasting longer before needing to be changed out. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
The copper plating was a nice touch, but how well did it adhere in the long run?

I saw the blue solution and immediately thought it was copper solution, then second guessed myself because I’ve never seen copper plating for a restoration 😅 looks great though. I am curious if your thought to use copper wool for the polish step. Would that have helped?
I was thinking the same thing. I just didn't have a copper wool and didn't have enough time to wait. Next time I will be better prepared!
why always start with dry rust? what if put it in kerosine or something first?
That would be a good idea but that's not very entertaining to watch, and most people really enjoy watching the sandblasting process. These are not really "how to" videos more they are for entertainment. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
You could have reduced all stress on it, and warmed it up and sprayed it with a penetrating oil.
Clean the outside a little to begin with.
I was hoping for you to chrome plate it
Hi Joe, ill look into the chrome plating process for future projects. Thanks for watching
Snap-On came on the scene around 1920 which probably killed off manufacturer of this wrench
Do you use a special glass bowl for the hot bluing? Would a Pyrex measuring cup work? What kind of oil do you use?
Hi there! the glass bowl I use is a glass stovetop cooking pot. Make sure your Pyrex is meant for high heat and I think it would be fine. I just use basic motor oil but just about any oil will do. I've used corn oil in the past with similar results. Thanks for watching and commenting!
