What a great find! That cleaned up nicely and the striker cap you made looks great. Maybe we'll get to see you use the gouge with your mini lathe one day.

Well thanks quite interesting..You did a good job..I dont know about the striker cap.aspect though..from a design point of view I wouldnt be advisable to strike that end as it would damage the threads on the cap,and the the handle as well..which is hollow wood....aybe thats why there arent many arond today...such handy tools still exist today..but without the file,chisel bits..most such tools today use the same 1/4" little tips that are used for power tools rather than those long shank types that you have...This disappoints me as I remember the RADUGA brand handle set that I lost somewhere..highly unlikely to get another..It was made in the old USSR and was very good..a white top black bottom plastic case with dlimsy blow mulded insert it had a screwdriver handle with strong collar and was tang through design end of tang being striker..had two Philips head,two flat head,pointy thing,gimlet,two wood chisels and a 1/4" cold chisel..the only downside was the handle being wonderfully solid and quite ergonomic did not contain all the blades like your one does..keep a eye out for ine RADUGA set at your Flea Markets..they were good..I miss mine

Hello again, 357Magdad Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I enjoyed watching tonight's video. Question for you. Again thank you 👌

Nice tool really cool, wonder would some of those tools work on your micro lathe.

Great job. Cool find👍

amazing yard sale find! AND it's complete and intact. nice striker fabrication.

Nice job on that. Finding one with all the original bits was amazing. I have several of the similar tools that I’ve restored. I like them, good old fashioned ingenuity. You gave me an idea. Adding a graver tool for engraving would be easy and should work well given that nice handle.

Thanks Magdad, that was a great find, It looked pretty poor from the outside, but cleaned up very nicely and having all the bits in good condition is a real bonus !

Finding a complete set is always a real treasure! 😃👍

The power of Chuck compels you.

That is fantastic!! Hard to imagine something so old could hold up so well. Great job it really looks NOS.

I quite literally cleaned up one of these last week and placed it in my 1920's tool box.

Impressive that you took that multi tool from grimy to gleaming. Definitely the hole making tools dominated that group of bits. That poor tool must have sat in the bottom of a tool box or somewhere where it was unused but collecting the detritus of years. turned out good and deceiving how big a tool it actually is when you show it in relation to your vise.

The great thing it was completely there when found it

Really enjoyed your video as always. I have a tool similar to yours and your video shows how to bring it back to life. Thank you sir!

I can't believe you got all the bits!!

Thanks! My dad died in his late eighties earlier this year, and for the memorial dinner we're planning for his coming birthday I've been trying to put together a display of some of the tools I remember from his toolbox when I was growing up in the 1970s. This thing had had me stumped! I didn't know what it was, just that I wasn't allowed to mess with it, ha! Thanks to your video, I've been able to identify it and I've tracked down a complete set on eBay. My dad had spent most of his working life in a steel mill and I wouldn't be surprised if he had gotten his Socketool as a safety prize from either the company or his union. I don't think I ever actually saw him use it.

Good for another 156 years.

Beautiful job!

Very nice restoration.

Great find and restoration job. That came out awesome.. It was pretty cool that it had all the bits.

i enjoy these videos very much, and great job as usual

Wow 😂…..MagDad….you hit a home run on that restoration…well done. Great stuff.

I've recently gotten one of those Millers falls multi tools, just like this one. Its so pristine you can even see some of the sticker on the handle, strangely though all it's bits are gone!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻awesome job and find and with all the attachments. Thank You for sharing Magdad!!!

Can this kit be used to reload 38 spacial?

Amazing to find the complete set MagDad. Just the right amount of cleanup - well done.

WOW, I LOVE that magdad ! You did a fantastic job on it and the striker cap is brilliant. To think it was all complete after all those years ! WELL DONE. Take care 🙂

Enjoyed seeing the making of the striker cap and what a great job you did on it too. I was expecting the Bombay Mahogany for the finish, but it came out really nice without it. That Miller Falls Tool Holder looks like new. Good, interesting video. Btw, I recently picked up a can of Minwax Bombay Mahogany Polyshades (They didn't have the BEHR) and I really like it. It has the stain and polyurethane in one step.

I have one similar to this but has no makers mark. I wish the small mutli-tools made nowadays were as cool and durable.

Ballistol is supposed to be mixed with water

That butt cap was ingenious! Loved this video!

Whaaaat ???!!!! No Flitzing ???!!! Blasphemy !!! When I saw the recess for the missing cap, I was thinking that an old "era correct" coin, glued in there might have been cool. But I am impressed with your solution. Great job!

I think the idea of trying a rust remover like Evaporust instead of the wire wheel in order to avoid dulling the file is a good one. Going to try it.

What did you use on the metal parts to prevent re-rusting. It came out looking awesome, I really love the old growth wood grain handles on old tools, you made this look amazing!

one of the best old tools you've fond brilliant

At first I thought this great old tool would be a candidate for the official Magdad Bombay Plum refinishing stain for the wooden handle. I'm glad you kept the original appearance. The wood is attractive, and isn't cracked or broken. I'm amazed that this old tool is so complete -- all it's original pieces. What are the chances of that after 100 years? It was a public service to save this complete, rare American tool. Thanks.

Really sweet job of refurbishing the tool, nice to see you bring it back to as close to original finish as you could and a great job of fabricating the strike cap for the tool. Thanks for sharing the tool with us, enjoyed watching.

That is such a cool tool. Built so well it lasted 100 years and counting!

Great find and a great resto. I have a feeling that it was the first time that little saw cut wood.

Very nice old tool. I have run across tool sets from the turn of the previous century. A lot of them have reamers in them. What people were reaming, I don't know. But, you see that tool quite frequently. Nice job on your set.

That is beautifully done, great job. I picked a similar tool up at the flea market this last weekend, and I’m looking forward to cleaning it up as well. You’ve given me some ideas about how to go about it, especially with the nylon brush, cloth and mineral spirits. I think I only have five or six tools inside of it though. Thanks so much for sharing and hope you have a great week.

Awesome find! And a great job on the clean up/ restoration. Amazing it still has all the bits!

Great video. Great way to enjoy Sunday morning coffee.

Hi Magdad , Nice Find And Job. It Looks Great . Nice Job On Making A Bottoming Out Tap. I Also Have Made A Couple of Those. Great For Threading A Blind Hole. One Cool Tool. Pretty Rare I Imagine. Especially with Al The Pieces.

Great restoration! I think it’s cool that your early multi-tool will last another century or more.

I always love a good Millers Falls tool. I actually only have one or two in my collection. I need to up that number. Great find. I wonder what projects someone back in the day would have used some of those inserts on?

Wonderful to find a complete tool over 100 years old. So many of the pieces could have gone missing. Your restoration was simply perfect.

She's a beauty

That is a great looking tool. Awesome 👍
