It's amazing to see how you bring life back into such old tools! The transformation process is so satisfying, especially when the rust is removed, and the tool looks almost brand new again. Thank you for preserving these pieces of history and for sharing your techniques!❤
When I first saw this ratchet I said, "that sure looks like a swench wrench". Salvage Workshop has a pair of them on his channel and they are the mother of all ratchets for torque and power. I may very well be wrong, but it definitely looks like one.
Really enjoyed watching you restore that bad boy ! Fantastic job and professionally done . The way you finished it the pits make it look like it was done that way at the factory . I want to see more brother . I subscribed . Thanks
Very good job, as always, friend; surely there must be a way to adapt a square block that will allow use the tool with 3/8 and 1/2 sockets. Very nice to see ather restored old ratchets at the far end in the last shooting; I remember how much I enjoyed watching the ones of the one century and the frinction ratchets also. Warm regards from Mexico.
Beautiful restoration job you did on the ratchet wrench. It looks much better than before and it works like a charm too. I also like how you made new countersink screws to replace the rusted ones. Excellent work.
I was thinking you would have to take it apart and reassemble it just so it could be switched from clockwise to counterclockwise. Then I realized you just turn the wrench over. This was a very "duh" moment for me.
You know there is a handheld impact wrench that is actually a manual impact wrench, you just insert the bit you need and lock it and then put it in the screw head and then hit the back end with a hammer and it will jar the screw and possible loosen it.
I got myself one now, but honestly I don’t think that it would have helped with the screws before I did electrolysis and after electrolysis I got it out eventually
I've always found , whenever something is so tight or in your case rusted solid , I try to tighten it with just enough pressure to break the seal from previously being tightened . This way with WD-40 it comes loose easier. But not always.
Also tried that and many other things but didn’t include that in the video since it would have been too long. But that is usually a good method, you’re right
Bad thing about rust is not only does it damage metal like a cancer it also expands and gets gritty which is mainly what causes moving parts to get jammed and stuck together.
Thanks! I personally don’t like nickel plating. I did it a couple of times but I don’t like the finish much. A little oil will prevent future corrosion :)
@DrHutOfHandcraft kleiner Tipp am Rande: der gelbe von Wera fällt leider gern auseinander. Der Gedore Red soll sehr gut sein, ich habe ihn selbst aber bisher nicht getestet
@@saschma3543 Danke für die Info! Ich habe mir den von BGS geholt, habe bisher mit den Werkzeugen von dieser Firma recht gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Mal schauen ob das so bleibt :)
All right here we go 1) why does every restoration Channel feel that if they use a half a can of penetrating oil on a screw like it's going to work better it's not because 90% of its on the floor 2) the pointless sanding it just eats time up on the video it doesn't serve a purpose 3) if he would have just used an impact screwdriver he could have broken their screws loose but again more time wasting for the video 4) Goes through all the trouble to make new screws and retap the holes yet doesn't put a drop of oil or grease on them so you can hear them crunch all the way back in. But I will give him props for making his own screws that was impressive
All right, here we go: 1) Don't really know how you got the idea that I used half a can of penetrating oil, but I didn't. Also penetrating oil usually is pretty handy and most of the time works very well, give it a try 2) The "pointless" sanding is for optical reasons because I personally like the look of it. So I guess it's not pointless if I enjoy it right? 3) "He" would have used an impact screwdriver, if "he" had one at that time. I am not going to go around buying tools if I can solve the problem with the options I have. Also: You may be very talented in whatever you do but it's not my first day on the job. I very much doubt that an impact screwdriver would've worked. Maybe an air driven impact driver would've worked, but I also didn't have one of those. Didn't so see how seized that thing was? Didn't the square piece of steel that it bent give you an idea of that? 4) All parts got oiled before reassembly. In future I will include that part, since you aren't the only one to mention that, so I'll give you a point here. 5) Thank you
I don’t always use a wire brush. Sandblasting is much easier and also more fun to do. Also in my opinion it makes a much nicer surface finish. But sure, buying a sandblasting setup is not necessary.
Thank you! I understand that, but you should never were gloves on turning tools especially not brushes. If you’re glove gets caught in the brush you will definitely have some huge problems
@@DrHutOfHandcraft I mentioned the word "proper" gloves not just any glove. When working with brushes at high speed leather gloves are suitable and will protect your hands. Canvas or plastic or cotton gloves are not suitable. Without a glove there is always a chance of injury even from the traveling parts in the air.
@@Emry11 sure, some gloves are worse/better than others. But as far as I know it is common sense not to use gloves on turning tools. I had it happen to me that my hand hit the turning wire brush, is not very fun but also not that bad. But anyways, I guess everyone is responsible for their own safety.

Thank you for you comment, never seen something like this before, very cool 😄
Lovely job!!! Just look enough to make it fab again but not to ruin it's authenticity by being a bit too shiny 👏👏👏. Nice one Dr. Hut, love it! 😎
Much appreciated John, thank you!
Wonderful work, dude! Nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks mate, you too!
Those new big screws are gorgeous!
Thank you, much appreciated!
So happy when you post a video! Especially one with a twist!
Thank you mate, your support is much appreciated!
Great video! It's really fun to watch because of your meticulous work, thanks for sharing the video!
Thank you for commenting, glad you liked it!
Wow, those screws at the start were brutal. Great work my friend.
Thanks mate, much appreciated 🙂
Good job mister beautifully restored well done
Thank you Vince!
I love the sound if thread being cut!
Me too! 😄
👍🏻👍🏻Damn fine restoration sir!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙂
Thank you!
That thing is a beast! Beautiful job!👍

Lubricate the bolt threads with copper grease. They will not seize. BTW great job !

Yes I also think that there must be something to adapt on 1/2”.
Thank you for your comment and your support, much appreciated!
beautiful; love the work and the video. well done.

I didn’t have one at that time
I broke out in a sweat watching those rusted screws refusing to budge.
😂😂
Looks like Santa needs to bring you an impact screwdriver….
I got myself one now, but honestly I don’t think that it would have helped with the screws before I did electrolysis and after electrolysis I got it out eventually
Nicely done
Thank you!
Nice work!
Thank you!
That is the first Snap-On ever made! haha

Nice work.

Good idea! But I would’ve been too afraid to tighten it more 😂😂
100% с меня лайк, за ваше усердие в откручивание. 😊
😄🙏🏼
Dunno if you have air in your shop, but for tough screws like that, try a tool called a "Shake N Break"
Don’t know that tool, I will definitely take look!
He' sitting in Russia, for Christ's sake.
@@martinschranner3495 says who? 😄😄
3:10 that must have felt good! 😊
So good! 😄😄
Excelente restauracion. Al final hizo falta q agregaras un poco de grasa o aceite.
Thank you!
I did that, I just didn’t film it :)
wow look like new
Thank you!
There are 3 of these where I work. I never knew what they were for.
😄
i use a mix of acetone/brake fluid for stuck screws
Also tried that and many other things but didn’t include that in the video since it would have been too long. But that is usually a good method, you’re right
good job!! you(re right, don't put a drop of grease in the ratchet...
Thank you!
Bad thing about rust is not only does it damage metal like a cancer it also expands and gets gritty which is mainly what causes moving parts to get jammed and stuck together.
Yep 👍🏼
Przepięknie jest to odrestaurowane pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nice one.
But i have a question - why you didn't nickel plating on metal to protect from rust?
With electrolysis it's not hard, also in will be shine.
Thanks!
I personally don’t like nickel plating. I did it a couple of times but I don’t like the finish much. A little oil will prevent future corrosion :)
Этот инструмент сумеет Вас отблагодарить за подаренную вторую жизнь.Вам я желаю успехов во всём.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You need an impact driver for those flathead screws
I didn’t have one
سپاس بابت حمایتتون.❤❤❤❤
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You might try using a impact driver next time.
I didn’t have one 😄
Very good!

Besorge dir mal so einen mechanischen Schlagschrauber zum draufschlagen. Die bewirken manchmal wahre Wunder bei solchen Schrauben 🙃
Werde ich machen !

Should add a tap 😊
😄😄
Did you actually bend that pb swiss tip at the beginning?
Not the pb swiss tools one, the other screwdriver tip got bent a little
@@DrHutOfHandcraft phew 😅
Te falta un destornillador de impacto golpea con martillo y se afloja los tornillos
I got myself one now, but honestly I don’t think that it would have helped with the screws before I did electrolysis
God those 3 Screws....were really Screwed
😄😄😄
The word "ratchet" is etymologically related to the word "rock." That's all I know about it.
Interesting 😄
👍🏻👍🏻
🙏🏼
Why didn't you use powder coating or spray paint to prevent future corrosion?
I didn’t want to paint it and oil will also prevent further corrosion :)
For screws he hit but did not turn, they have screw drivers that when you hit them they turn the screw for you.
I know, but I didn’t have one at that time
Show de bola 🎉🎉🎉
😄
Thanks!
Wow thank you, much appreciated! 🙏🏼
Almost TOO perfect...I would be afraid to use it in case I damaged it...are you related to Rusty Shades?...dgp/uk

No we are not related 😄

maybe some grease was good during installation.
Yeah but the gear of the ratchet is open so a lot of dirt would get caught in there
Impact Screwdriver
Didn’t have one
Я не всегда понимаю, для чего нужен дорогостоящий пескоструйный аппарат, если затем деталь обрабатывают металлической щеткой с большей эффективностью.

Sandblasting is much easier and also more fun to do. Also in my opinion it makes a much nicer surface finish. But sure, buying a sandblasting setup is not necessary.
I know what it is ? I have used one a lot of times 😅
It’s a ratchet 😄

Really? I thought I am my mechanics, thanks for letting me know 😄😄
Почему при сборки маслом не пользовался .
All parts were oiled before :)
👍🏻🇻🇪🤘👏💯

Theres a tool. Where you hit it and it spins. Its a screwdriver
Ok 😄
The tool is called an Impact Screwdriver
Als du angefangen hast die Schrauben selber zu machen bin ich endgültig vom Glauben abgefallen
😄😄 aber warum denn? 😄😄
Na gerai, tik gaila tepalo neturit.
I used oil for protection:)
Good job! But it's better to wear proper gloves when working with brushes on the grinder. If they touch your fingers you will almost lose them.
Thank you!

Your captions are far too small & blurry to be read on a small device like a cellphone. 👎
What kind of tiny cellphone do have that they are hard to read? I have no problem on my phone.
You can fix the blurriness if you adjust the resolution of the video :)
Sry that you had problems reading the subtitles, next time I will make them a little larger

Real butcher job of disassembly. Good machining. Screwdrivers 🪛 are size specific!
