1960s Electric Chainsaw [Restoration] (Part 1 of 2)

I always love doing chainsaw restorations. This chainsaw (Model C. E) was made by the Strunk Manufacturing Co. in the 1960s. The chainsaw happens to be electric and has a massive 26 amp motor, which puts the saw at around 4HP. That is a LOT of power for an electric chainsaw. Strunk also made versions of these for the U.S. Army in the 1960s. I have not been able to find a photo of this saw anywhere on the internet.
This saw was very dirty, especially inside the motor, which is probably the reason why it did not run. I couldn't sandblast the paint off as it contained lead. I decided to go a little bit further with this restoration and add a polished handle and bucking spikes.
The chainsaw bar oil can was the most damaged and needed a lot of work to get back to original condition.
In this video I take everything apart, clean, repair, and then paint. In Part 2, I will put it back together and get it running.
I'd like to thank Evapo-Rust for sponsoring this video.

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

[@wbrenne]

As a German, I find it hilarious that the name of the chainsaw is "STRUNK", because that's the German word for the stub that remains after a tree has been felled.

[@JarlSeamus]

For it's age that looks like it was in remarkably good shape. That's a dream find.

[@phillipmiller4139]

Sometimes there is nothing more enjoyable then bring old equipment back to life. Thankyou for your videos

[@Tysonography]

I'm always amazed at the amount of detail work you put into these restorations, keep up the good work bud!

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you!

[@twiz8789]

UGGGGH!!! Now I have to "patiently" wait for part 2...Dangit Ray Romano lol

[@matthewclark263]

Wow those field windings were absolutely beautiful

[@johndeere6778]

Thank you so, so much for finally doing a chainsaw restoration.

[@HandToolRescue]

Wait until the massive two-man chainsaw restoration.

[@johndeere6778]

Can you at least say what brand the two man saw is?

[@NeverNotMaking]

Looking great! If you clamp a piece of copper behind a hole you need to weld over, it will provide support for the weld but the weld won’t stick to it.

[@HandToolRescue]

I did receive this tip on Patreon as well. I never knew that!

[@Mister_Brown]

this concept works with anything used to fill a hole or pot things, i use it all the time to pot things in hot glue and certain resins, for hot glue just put razor blades against it and when it cools the blade falls off leaving a perfectly flat surface, if it gets stuck hit it with some canned air upside down to freeze it and it will pop off, really handy for making strain reliefs on custom cables

[@user-neo71665]

They actually make welding spoons for this. Most welders i know just hammer copper pipe flat and hold it with some vice grips.

[@NeverNotMaking]

neo 71665 LoL, that’s what I do too. If I was doing it everyday I’d invest in some spoons.

[@hhanonymous]

Always look forward to your videos. Might just be me, but I love hearing all the sounds as you disassemble and put things together, especially during some of the sped up time lapses.

[@John-Von]

By far the coolest electric chansaw I've ever seen!

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

I'm glad I SAW this restoration!

[@heckler3119]

Bedtime? Nope, hand tool rescue time!

[@lordvengerx]

HecklerRommel same xD

[@algenral211]

Me to 😄😂

[@kengamble8595]

You probably have already put it back together and found out by now, but if not, I can tell you that it is a HOSS ! In the 80s my ex father in law purchased a farm in Manitoba and found one of those In the barn that would not run. When I was visiting he give it to me and I took it home and got it going ! Better have a good strong breaker and a heavy-duty extension cord to run it, but it has some hellacious power ! 😊 Found out later that it had been mounted on a homemade device for cutting firewood ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

[@javaking1000]

That's a tool that's screaming for 220v! 26 amps on 115v, never even heard of that. Do they make 30 amp breakers for 115v, or do you just use a 20 amp and hope you don't trip it too often?

[@Blake_V]

Of course they have 30a breakers. It's the same size used in electric dryers.

[@javaking1000]

Of course, that makes sense! I got stuck on the whole 115v thing.

[@Cole-xq2tl]

Hahaha!! I love hearing these kind of stories! Pretty crazy, the stuff they were able to get away with back in the day.

[@ramonmotos4873]

porque estás de vacaciones en mi pueblo que tal y que cual que no te es que no quiero que estés de vacaciones en mi pueblo y ya está porque porque te come las mierdas

[@WilliamTMusil]

My god, those brushes are huge! I freaked out at the end, sad face, looking for episode 2 ...

[@viperstrike3827]

Its rated for 26 amps it will probably do 40 if you really lean into it and the brushes have to cary that without over heating or cracking

[@clydebalcom8252]

That chainsaw is just full of surprises.

[@Mike-vn7ys]

Try clamping a 1/4" plate of copper or brass behind the hole and then mig weld, you can plug the hole and the copper or brass will not stick. Sheet metal trick that I have used for years. Your weld will come out nice and flat on the backside.

[@budwoodman1716]

Wow, that thing as some big ass brushes !!

[@alfredoroman5287]

That's the best clean I ever seen in my life

[@Salamandra40k]

Comment on a 3 year old video, but oh well. The absolute 135IQ move to put water in the tank and freeze it to push the dents out was a brain blast moment. I damn love these videos, not only because I like watching things get restored, but because I know Hand Tool Rescue knows wtf he's doing. He's not just some chump puttering around in a workshop, like a LOT of other restoration channels are. Good job dude, I will always be wathing these

[@Phantomthecat]

Ha ha - as soon as you tipped that old oil out I was waiting on the taste test. 👍😊

[@MissingNo0001]

Why do people taste the oil? Isn't that thing toxic?

[@jordandurham8951]

MissingNo0001 Probably but, an experienced mechanic can taste the difference between fluids.

[@MissingNo0001]

GORGI's World you mean like quality of the oil?

[@diamondflaw]

Well, I mean some people use vegetable oil in their chainsaws if cutting up wood for use in direct fire cooking (like smoking)... I never figured it made a big enough difference to matter. To each their own I guess.

[@MissingNo0001]

diamondflaw thats so weird xd Thanks!

[@MikeFoxtrot87]

That‘s my kind of AsMR! Usually while watching videos of such length, I skid some minutes every now and then, but not with your videos! Keep it up man!

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you!

[@fireantsarestrange]

Thats a crazy amount of work and materials for something you can get at home depot for 100 bucks. And you left us with a cliff hanger.. hahah

[@markhensens5989]

Who the hell needs ASMR vids when you can watch this!? Thanks for the video, have a good one!

[@HandToolRescue]

Thanks!

[@asvarien]

I really like that hand ratchet tool at 6:05

[@philondez]

They're definitely great to have on hand when you don't have the room to move the handle on a full ratchet or don't need all the torque but still need more than your fingers. Without an extension they can fit in pretty much any tight spot you need them to. It's called a palm ratchet, I'd never seen one before this last Christmas when my dad bought me a toolkit that had one in it. It was great for swapping out my radiator when one of the nylon sections cracked, I didn't have to worry about moving any hoses out of the way

[@MadMaxx570]

Does Evaporust come in cans big enough for, say, a 1967 Plymouth Valiant?

[@HandToolRescue]

I should set up a drive-through lake at my house that people can come and use.

[@jpkalishek4586]

They do show somewhere how to use a sump pump , roll plastic, and kiddie pool to derust an old Chevy frame

[@stoutlager6325]

Yes I also have a car i'd like to dip entirely in the stuff.

[@planejet42]

I've thought about that. How great would it be to soak the undercarriage of a classic car in Evaporust?

[@InstrucTube]

Nah, man, too much work to set up. Just get a giant fish tank and a crane. :P

[@michaelmckenzie5232]

Look how nice that was built.Back when we made stuff.Thats a hell of a set of brushes

[@kirara4953]

Why is it so satisfying to see the paint just wipe off

[@Kolajer]

6:06 cool knob wrench. 23:49 drop dead awesome!

[@billmyke746]

Holy dogshit! Coatesville Pennsylvania Once a truly great town now a complete f****** disaster especially since after Lukens steel pulled out. I should know I live in Chester County. Practically brings a tear to my eye some days.. Thank you so much for bringing 'er back to life.

[@Slikx666]

bill myke Its like that over here in the UK, we used to get all our chisels, plane blades, knifes and cutlery made of Sheffield steal. Now it's all flimsy crap made in China. The problem is the trade in disposable wears (only lasts a year, then breaks) is on the increase and all the best stuff costs too much. We the People of Earth need to say "No! I refuse to pay for crap!" Then maybe places like Detroit wouldn't be in such a bad way.

[@CJM442]

bill myke i completely missed that until i saw your comment! Grew up and still living here but never heard of Strunk.

[@jessemarchese7245]

Some parts are nice but i know what your talking about, i live in West norriton

[@georgestephens2593]

I live 15 miles south of Coatesville. It is a sorry sight to see when I drive through that area.

[@MysteryMachineGT]

I was amazed when I saw that as well. I live in Parkesburg. Cool to see something local on here. I don't believe I've ever heard of Strunk.

[@davidcoats1037]

Freezing water in the can to pop out the dents is genius. I like it when you put subtitles telling us what you’re doing and why. It helps us learn. Awesome video and restoration. Looking forward to the next video! 👍🏼

[@Hotdogger808]

One hard core restoration.....respect.

[@AdamsLab]

I'll admit I was wondering if you'd lost your mind when you globed on the fiberglass filler but it turned out great. Just got the shipping notification for my wrench, excited!

[@bennydesign]

What Order# do you have? Waiting for mine too ..

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha, I'm glad it worked. Enjoy your wrench!

[@AdamsLab]

Looks like 103

[@gb8014]

If you werent getting revenue from youtube and patreons, would this kind of restoration be a viable option from a financial point of view? I can only imagine how many hours in total this will take you, and the price that you would need to charge for the restored machine to make it worth your while.

[@HandToolRescue]

It would probably not be financially viable. Let's say I charged $500 for the finished saw. Materials (including saw) are probably $200-250 at least. The labour is about 20-25 hours, so even at $10/hr there is not much profit to be made. This video would have to get to at least 500,000 views to make around $500, so the Patrons fund this whole operation. This is an odd channel in the sense that if it did not grow to where it is now, the tools for restoration would be MUCH different/smaller/less unique/less interesting as I couldn't afford to do this just for fun.

[@MannyJazzcats]

collectors tho

[@vewo234]

Hand Tool Rescue, thank you for your honest and thorough response! And for making these videos!

[@quixototalis]

This is an interesting question and I'm glad you asked it, G B. I hadn't really thought about the ROI of doing these kinds of restorations.

[@jcramond73]

Nothing more satisfying than putting back an electric or combustion motor with clean/new parts.

[@bigDbigDbigD]

You are the rock start of tool rescue dude.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thanks guy!

[@sebianoti]

This was the shortest 27 minutes of my life

[@carlosrodrigues1467]

Não concluiu o vídeo da montagem da moto serra?

[@abdeljalilpr2033]

Sebastian please watch dr zakir naik's videos

[@AnthonyMalesys]

That's what she said. ( xD )

[@HandToolRescue]

I should just upload a real-time video that is 25 hours long.

[@callofdutygameplay5600]

And 13 second's

[@Lejackal]

Fiberglass resin always reminds of that crap the guy pulled out of the bathtub drain in the movie the grudge

[@jeremyjensen867]

From the look of it this saw had a hard life. Good to see you restoring it. ✔ 😎✔

[@patflat456]

What sets me apart from other popular restoration content producers? I lick the oil for continuity............subscribed.

[@AcerKrab]

Ля, я хочу такие же разводные ключи! Аш в душу запали!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Another great video. When I saw the condition of the oil can I said wonder if he will try freezing ice in it to expand the dent and look at you. Great minds think a like. LMAO. Have you thought about an ultrasonic cleaner to use in cases where you can't sand blast? Your work bench will be named a 'Super Fund' site soon. ;-)

[@HandToolRescue]

haha! I do have an ultrasonic cleaner, but it's not powerful enough to remove paint.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

I was thinking more along the lines of general cleaning. Not sure I would want an ultrasonic cleaner that could remove paint, strip the skin right off your hand if you reached in while it was running.

[@alfalenkas6451]

Great minds think a like, but fools rarely differ

[@surfstrat59]

Tears of joy are streaming down my face....🛠

[@d.mushroomhunter3528]

I love to watch and learn about Old School Tools and would like to see the Craftsman behind the camera stand up and take some WELL earned credit!! love the posts DEREK from MI U.S.A.!!

[@FairlaneFox]

DAYUM. thats using your canadian environment! never would have even remotely IMAGINED using freezing water to expand and pop out dents in cans. (also because as floridians we do not believe in this "ice" concept..) this may have opened up many a oil-can restoration possibilities in the future.

[@Crewsy]

spartan36789 You have to be careful doing it and never leave it unattended long or the ice can blow apart your oil can likely leaving you with some very expensive scrap tin. The power of expanding ice is mind boggling.

[@FairlaneFox]

Wayne Crews even if its the oiling can types? The ones with the thumb or hand pump? I dont know if your thinking of like those or if your thinking of the old fashioned cans they sold motor oil in you had to crack open and pour with a spout. Id imagine those could split but the oiler cans seem like thier decently thick.

[@Crewsy]

spartan36789 I was thinking about the tin oil cans that are similar to the can on the chainsaw. Expanding ice, can and does cause a lot of damage.

[@Tater_Lord]

Wayne Crews and that metal also contracts when cold so it'll work twice as fast

[@johnnybravo3869]

In the South, ice is for tea.

[@TheSasquatch33]

These 2 part videos are driving me insane. I need the full video, so I could just wait until part 2 comes out... But I can't just NOT watch the video as soon as it goes up, so you see my dilemma. lol

[@HandToolRescue]

Muahahaha!

[@shredct3118]

This is truley the best channel on youtube. Hands down the best.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you very much!

[@NitroMaxOriginal]

There is something so satisfying about bringing old tools back into use.

[@Yakuza48]

Cant wait to see the cabbage salad 😅👌

[@HandToolRescue]

It does wonders for the sharpness of the saw.

[@electronicsNmore]

I wonder if he was using sign language just off camera...LOL

[@uncledoc9010]

I can't tell you exactly why this is so satisfying to watch your Restauration Videos.. I'm a IT from switzerland, but - IT Fels so good, to see a good old Tool becoming a new life.. Those Tools wehre built to Last. Not like the modern crap i'm working with. Pretty 27min, worth watching it. Thx.

[@antionio77db]

A lot of work but you are doing a justice to that saw nice work.

[@stxrynn]

You can get that much cabbage from youtube?!?!?!?!??! WOWZERS!!!!!!! I would never have thought to use filler on the oil reservoir. (Hey, maybe you need some body work tools so you can remove the dents from that can. Dollies and spoons and hammers..... ) Amazing work.

[@stoutlager6325]

You get a half a cabbage for every 100,000 views.

[@javaking1000]

I personally thought he put way too much effort into that oil can. I don't think it would have been too terrible if he just replaced it with a new one. He replaces other worn parts like wires, bearings, nuts and bolts - not the end of the world. Just an observation, not criticizing - LOVE this channel!

[@Adierit]

It'd be a little difficult to find an oil can for a tool from the 60's, and body work tools wouldn't really be feasible here. I guess he could've just cut it in half, pounded it all flat on the anvil then weld it back together though.

[@JoshuaTClark81]

3:05, everytime when restoring a tool, when a proper stamped ID plate is seen, somewhere deep in the frozen tundra, AvE smiles.

[@brian4561]

Nice to see the scrap wood cleaning tool make an appearance!

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha, it's just so available.

[@brian4561]

Hand Tool Rescue and so effective too ! You should do a give away ! :p

[@ChrisDoll44]

IDK about you guys but i'm tuning in next episode for that food dicing segment.

[@sethbracken]

On the oil reservoir: maybe the next time you run up against something like that cut it at the seams, flatten the dents out and braise it back together? I could talking out my ass though.

[@HandToolRescue]

Definitely could have done that as well, but my bodywork skills aren't there yet.

[@sethbracken]

Hand Tool Rescue we have faith in you.

[@MadMaxx570]

Zis chainsav, it haz a very Strunk engine

[@thegrimjeeper3427]

I have commented before how much I enjoy your work. I restored a scroll saw as my first project, my second project is not as cool as this chain saw but still neat. I got a non working Ramsey 6000 winch from the mid 80's. The Solenoids which most places want $75usd each for are shot, and there is 2 when a new winch is $300 for a new one. I found the matching part number on line for $12usd each. I'd say I'm Winning. 1 week back order but that's fine by me. The gear grease has become hard as well. Sounds like a great time to me. I'm excited for a full proper in depth break down restore in my soon future. I can't wait. Keep up the good work. I am excited to see part 2 of the chain saw

[@hughjass138]

Love your channel and i've been addicted to it recently. It's inspired me to breed life back into my dad's old tools. Sadly he passed away nearly 20 years ago but he left behind many tools to which i now have at my disposal. I took one of his pipe wrenches, a claw hammer, Ball peen hammer, and i'm currently debating pulling his old bench grinder apart, and currently all bar the grinder look like new. It's given me something productive to do with any free time i have and has allowed me to give those tools a longer and more hopeful life.

[@billiondollardan]

The project farm channel just did another episode testing the efficacy of some penetrating oils. Something worth checking out

[@fergaldelaney254]

billiondollardan yeah and on that test it shows that WD-40 made it harder to crack off rusted nuts. Wouldn't really be too impressed with any info from that channel

[@HandToolRescue]

I mainly use penetrating oil to help get the bolt to spin off the crusty rusty bolt, not so much to get it loose.

[@cjfourty6]

I think price for effectiveness the Brake Fluid beat all of them lol

[@diamondflaw]

AvE did a few tests that I thought had a bit better process, even if his sample size was small.

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

If it's an electric motor, why the clutch? Or is it a brake?

[@HandToolRescue]

I honestly have no idea. It makes no sense to me. Direct drive would be easier and cheaper...

[@michaelphipps5906]

Looks like a “safety” feature. It will disengage the sprocket as the rpms go down. That way the blade stops after you release the trigger. Just my thought.

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

This may be so. If this motor has a heavy rotor, then it might continue spinning for a while after releasing the trigger.

[@broncobum]

Probably to allow some slippage when the blade catches, there is lots of torque in that monster motor, and also those clutch housings with the chain sprockets are already invented... industrial lego.

[@cnc_vivisector3881]

Clutch has two functions: 1) Initial start- and rev-up of electric motor without load on shaft (decreased starting current); 2) Torque limiter (mechanical motor and chain protection when chain catches). So, it's a well engineered, trusty and durable old iron, in contrast with modern disposable pieces of junk...

[@chiz7254]

Воу. Уважение таким мастерам которые берутся за такие сложные и разношёрстные приборы, так сказать. Очень интересно смотреть ваш канал, прямо как по моей специальности на которую я учусь. Спасибо за труды.

[@dantarver622]

I just love how you fearlessly deconstruct these tools.!!

[@flyingpictures1100]

You have to stop drinking the oil. It's funny now but just wait until it becomes a habit!

Using taste to test the oil is an age old practice going back to the creation of the first engines Some manufacturers would supply you with knock off oils made from corn or soy which would gum up and burn inside your motor or engine tasting it would let you know if it’s genuine or a knockoff and could save you big bucks

[@dantarver622]

The pacing of your videos is perfect. Love the fact that you can do them without constant verbal commentary.

[@elizabethmims8197]

You have a special gift. I love watching how you reassemble these machines! I was in the the printing business but all our sharpening needs were straight edge.

[@sikkepossu]

10000rpm !?

[@AtholAnderson]

Probably the motor speed, not the chain.

[@jpkalishek4586]

it is direct drive. so whatever the motor speed, is the sprocket speed.

[@sikkepossu]

Indeed. That's what I was thinking. The chain speed must be pretty insane with 10000 rpm.

[@lulink99]

sikkepossu 10000 RPM is normal for a chainsaw, some modern gas ones even reach 14000 RPM or more...

[@sikkepossu]

Ok. I have never tought that the chain speed is so high eventhough I use chainsaw quite regularly.

[@greyfelthitchhiker159]

At last! A youtube video that was worth watching

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha thank you!

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

I like videos like these just need more of em.

It is amazing that chain saws have not altered that much in 60 years. They got design right first time. What happens to these old refurbished tools as they should be in museums.

[@andreanocera78]

Respect from Napoli, Italy.

[@riverhoneybee]

When you took the "field windings" (?) out and cleaned the coils separately from the casing.. oh boy was I satisfied. Amazing video as always! I'm eagerly waiting the next video! I don't have much money so sadly I can't be a Patreon supporter, but I'm shoving all my energy through my monitor right now so you feel total appreciation for all that you do! Keep on keeping on!

[@MazeFrame]

That motor must have torque for days! Amazing video! Keep it up!

[@alecjahn]

Now THAT is what I call a commutator/brush!

[@JakeBiddlecome]

I just started watching these videos - the tools this guy uses are as interesting as the restoration itself. Those square adjustable wrenches are cool, so is that hammer screwdriver I saw in a previous video. I've never seen that before.

[@Victoria_2005]

I always know I'm going to love your video/s, even before I start watching them. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@bitterbladeco]

I love the humor in your vids! Great stuff as always!

[@bigpapi3636]

Those motor brushes are massive! Sucker was built to last!

[@Tyroma]

Another awesome episode! I just ordered a Hand Tool Rescue wrench because I see one in EVERY episode and it amazes me at how useful it appears to be! Keep up the great restos!

[@danyjiphone]

Je vous suis de france j'admire ce que vous faite apres une dure journée je regarde vos video et elle m'apaise et calme. Vous etes au Top continué

[@mattikaki]

Quite sturdy apparatus. Must be genuine American. I noticed that the PE wire (Protective Earth, green/yellow) was very short. Here in Europe the PE wire must be left longer than others so that it is the last wire to loose. It is very good advice in every portable equipment.

[@ComandoS-212]

Great pleasure to see this work. I encourage you to give us another satisfaction on other objects

[@travis4798]

Never knew electric chainsaws were made back then, neat!

[@davidmiller9485]

Just to add, you should look up jay leno's vid on a 1901 or so electric car. Turns out NYC had recharge stations ever couple of blocks for them. The ladies used them to go shopping. It's quite interesting.

[@cathybenson5119]

Very clever with the water in that little tank.

[@christopherpappas7474]

Love all your videos. I am just so amazed every time you open something up just what marvelous engineering and machining that went into the tools from back then! They shame every power tool made today. Oh, I also just purchased one of your wrenches and cannot wait for it to come. Thanks so much for saving so much history from the garbage dump. Peace:)

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you!

[@crownsintent6640]

This channels awesome, there’s just something super relaxing about watching an old tool or whatever being restored :)

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you!
