Stanley Yankee Handyman No. 46Y Push Drill Restoration

[@ryanblackman4225]

Great episode and end result. This past November, I received my grandfathers tools from my father - a mix of vintage items going back to the mid 1800’s through the early 1950s when he passed away. As a kid, I wasn’t supposed to touch them, but now in my 50s, I finally can play with. They’ve been in his hand built tool box, barely touched for close to 70 years. Thanks to you and Scoutcrafter and your channels, I’m restoring them one by one. Besides for my own enjoyment, my dad in his 80s is thrilled to see each one brought back to life. Thanks for all the helpful content and technique you’ve put on your channel. It’s greatly appreciated.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad your finally allowed to play with your grandfather's tools! I'd love to see some photos of you clean ups! [e-mail]

[@uktony1525]

The great thing about manual drills is that the battery never runs out of power and only requires a cup of tea every so often to keep it running all day. My favourite tool from my father is a precision square and protractor. I am never likely to use it but the engraving of RGS on the tool reminds me of him every time I see it. A WW2 veteran who only passed away three years ago at 99, I still miss the best friend a man could have.

[@357magdad]

The Craftsman combination square in my shop was also my dad's. I forgot to include it in the video!

[@uktony1525]

357 Magdad, you have really struck a chord in remembering our father's and grandfather's tools. Great memories.

[@stevewalker7822]

Another terrific cleanup! I still have a round file that belonged to my grandfather. Every time I use it I think of him. He was a master carpenter for the US Department of Agriculture.

[@357magdad]

That's great Steve!

[@bobhart1155]

That was a really nice restoration in memory of your dad. Keeping the memories alive through the tools we use is a great way to remember our late loved ones for sure.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bob! I agree!

[@stewartew]

Great job, it looks almost brand new. The memories are priceless and it is good to have things that remind you of the early days. I have a garage full of tools from my Great Grandfather (all hand tools, he passed away around 1929), They were handed down to my Grandfather, who in 1953, built a workshop on his garage and bought a Sears jig saw, a sears 10" cast iron top table saw, and an early model Shop Smith. My Dad added a Delta Table saw ( I had grandpa's saw) and a Delta 3 wheel band saw, I added a standup drill press, a stand up 2 wheel band saw and a DeWalt jig saw. My Great Grandfather's tools hang on the wall. The rest of them get used very often and I always think of Grandpa and Dad when I use them. I spent lots of time with my Grandpa in the "Shop" and he taught me hoe to use all the tools properly.

[@357magdad]

Your lucky to have spent so much time with your grandpa!

[@OldSonyMan]

I clicked on this video because my dad too had one of those, but i allways thought it was a screwdriver ! ! ! thank you for today's little bit of 'knowledge' gained !

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! A push drill is a handy tool to have in the shop! It is my go-to "cordless" drill!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Beautiful job on that push drill- Those are still as useful today as they were back in the day. I laughed out loud when you said you had to wait until Chuck was out 4-Wheeling to break out the PlastX! 😂😂😂

[@357magdad]

Thanks ScoutCrafter! Chuck gets mad when I use anything but his Flitz!

[@fredporter]

Great memories. Most of my dad's hand tools I have saved.

[@357magdad]

That's great Fred!

[@christopherlusk9385]

My grandfather was a carpenter...in my opinion the best. He passed when I was a freshman in high school. He had a bunch of neat tools but unfortunately when he passed the buzzards came in. I joined the Air Force and and started collecting tools. I have all kinds of push drills, wood planes, wood brace drills, etc, etc. I really like watching your channel.

[@357magdad]

I'm sorry you lost your grandfather's tools to the "buzzards" Christopher. I'm glad you enjoy my channel!

[@MyMW3Channel]

I have pipe wrenches from the early 1900s that belonged to my grandfather I never met. I cleaned them up and gave them a drawer in a bench top toolbox. They've saved the day when other wrenches have failed.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad those old wrenches still come in handy!

[@andyc972]

Thanks Magdad, you did a beautiful job on that push drill, I'd be hard pushed to pick out one tool from my Dads, but his Sandvik tenon saw, Rabone folding Boxwood rule, yellow acetate handled Stanley screwdrivers, Stanley pin hammer, Stanley Egg-beater drill, Stanley "Molegrip" wrench and his sailmakers palm would be up there ! Sorry to hear you lost your Dad so young, mine is still around at 85, but we're currently clearing out their home as they're in care now.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Andy! I like those yellow Stanley screwdrivers you have over there! I haven't seen them here in the US.

[@zenithcoinsandhobbies]

My personal favorite tool with a story is my Xcelite No. 300 multitool. My grandpa bought mine brand new back in 1958, and after about 2 weeks, lost it. He bought another one to replace it, and about 3 or 4 years later found the original one, which he gave to my mother when she moved into her first house. Mom gave it to me when I was about 12 or so. My Xcelite collection is quite large now, but the tool that gets used the most out of all of them is that No. 300.

[@357magdad]

That's a great story!

[@johnmclaurin]

Think your Dad would be proud to see that restoration! Don’t have many from Dad because I wasn’t into the tool thing when he died, so I let some gems get away in the estate sale. Did manage to keep some yard tools though. Every spring I think of him a lot when I get those tools out.

[@357magdad]

My dad loved going to the flea market and "the poor man's flea market". I think he would get a kick out of our tool hobby!

[@Bloodshed.restorations]

Beautiful, those plastics came up brilliantly. Most times I see my father he passes on some of his old tools as he's getting too old to use them, lots of memories attached to them.

[@357magdad]

Hold onto those tools eh gives you!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

My Dad was a carpenter for many years and this was his "cordless" drill. I bought him his first power miter box when he was 80 years old... Thanks for the memories.

[@357magdad]

It's my "cordless" drill too! I don't own a battery drill!

[@62forged]

Nice cleanup. My grandfather was a machinist, and I still have his Kennedy toolbox.

[@357magdad]

That's great!

[@ihrescue]

It looks nearly new. I am inspired. When I was in the air force my job was to install and maintain telephone systems. We were issued a Stanley Yankee drill #41 to use for installing cable and terminal clamps. I have many tools from my grandfather and father. Brace and bits, hammers, dovetail saw, two different vises, a bench dog, mortise and marking gauges, squares, rip saw, etc. I am grateful to have these tools and more that I haven't mentioned.

[@357magdad]

The No. 41 I showed in the video is marked Bell System. It's great you have so many tools from your dad and grandfather!

[@rollerbald]

The before and after transformation was amazing. Nice work MagDad. I have several tools from my father and grandfather - they hold many memories for me just like yours.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Bill!

[@Dalesworkshop]

Thats a good find and collection. They would make a nice shadow box.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Dale! I had my push drill collection on display but the screw holding screwdrivers kinda took over!

[@patjohnson3100]

Very enjoyable. My father had several Yankee push pull screwdrivers including a wooden handled version that seemed large to me. Even though I was a dumb kid just learning about tools I remember being impressed with how ingenious they were. Although I still have some of his tools, I dont have the Yankee drivers. I do have my grandfathers tool box and tools. I'm going to go through them to see just what's there. I haven't done so for years. That's the power of a MD video.

[@357magdad]

I hope you find some gems in your grandfathers toolbox Pat!

[@michaellindsay8934]

Beautiful restoration Magdad I was surprised to see all 3 push drills on the same advertisement. We'll done 😊

[@357magdad]

Thanks Michael! I thought the No. 46 replaced the No. 45, since I don't see as many No. 45's at the sales.

[@troon5488]

I have both my dad’s, and my grandfather's bench vises. Also, a set of two Bahco adjustable wrenches that belonged to my dad, including the cloth bag he kept them in. The bag is an old money bag from a bank! I remember using the wrenches to work on MY first bicycle.

[@357magdad]

I bet those Bahco wrenches bring back some good memories!

[@r.tomrobison8307]

It is amazing how sometimes cleaning a tool up looks better than new. Great job.

[@357magdad]

I was lucky that the nickel plating was in good shape under the grime!

[@timeflysintheshop]

It is super cool that you have all three of the push drills from that old ad! 😎👍😎

[@357magdad]

I have a decent collection of Yankee push drills. I used to have them out on display, but the screw holding screwdrivers took over.

[@timeflysintheshop]

@@357magdad Maybe you should start a new collection of "automatic" ratcheting push screw drivers? There is a huge variety of those. I picked up a super cool one recently, made my the Decatur Coffin Co. It has an 1800's patent and is wood brass and steel! 👍😎👍

[@timeflysintheshop]

Great memories! I have always thought your workbench looked like the kind we had in middle school shop class!

It may have come from a school!

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

In 1995 I found my grandfather’s 1937 F20 Farmall tractor he sold at the retirement sale in 1975. He bought it used during WW2. The guy that bought it at the sale, didn’t give it up until 2005. I still have it.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you finally have it back in the family!

Your skilled hands certainly made that push drill look like a new one Mr Magdad. Great work!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Shedman!

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

Great restoration sir, love the original factory look! I'm a big fan Yankee push drills and screwdrivers, I have quite a few now lol.

I have a Yankee 131A push drill that belonged to my Grandfather. I remember setting at the kitchen table watching him use it to repair things. I have a hard time not buying a push drill when I see them at yard sales. Nice video.

[@357magdad]

Old tools bring back good memories!

[@wingnutsworkshop]

Beautiful work, as always! I have a clear handle Stanley with red stripe and metal cap. It's on my To-Do list. I have many of my dad's tools, some I'll restore, some I can't bring myself to do it. My first tool he gave me for Christmas one year was a wood handle Craftsman hammer when I was maybe 10. I still have it. I can't bring myself to stain the handle dark. It has too many years of memories with a light handle.

[@357magdad]

You gotta leave that hammer original!

[@chriholt]

Beautiful restoration as usual. My dad died when I was in my early 20s and I miss all of the things we could have worked on together. I never could figure out why Flitz labeled their jars as they did. The name was barely noticeable!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Chris. I wish my dad could have met my daughter.

[@stephenbridges2791]

Tools from a bygone era. Made in the USA. I held on to a Bemis & Call No. 90 steamfitters wrench. Wistful memories.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Stephen! I'm glad you still have that wrench!

[@choppermike3329]

My father also died when I was in my twenties. He was a school teacher and brought home a wooden door they were throwing out. Turns out school doors are very thick and heavy duty. He made a work bench out of it back in the sixties and I've been using it ever since. I have a few tools left he had in WWII. I just remembered I was going to e-mail some pics I'll get on that before I forget again.

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you have some of your father's tools Mike! There is something special about working on your dad's workbench!

[@markrandall1456]

I have a SK 1/2” drive ratchet that I found half buried in the mud behind my grandpa’s house. It was rusty and frozen. I ran to my grandpa to give it back to him. Since it was frozen he just gave it to me. I never could get it to free up but hung on to it. About 8 years later I needed a 1/2 in drive ratchet to work on the springs of my 1959 Ford. My dad suggested using 3 in 1 oil to loosen it up. So I oiled it every so often. Didn’t budge. I was using it like a breaker bar on the u bolts. I had a small pipe on the end for leverage. Couldn’t budge the rusty nuts. So I put my foot on it and pow. I figured I broke the ubolt. But I actually broke the rust free. Anyway I got the wrench working and used it for another 50 years or so. Then the ratchet began to slip. It was finally wearing out. Someone told me it had a lifetime warranty. So I did some research and discovered that SK would send you a repair kit free. So SK sent me the kit. When I turned to KZbin for instructions on the installation I found tool restoration channels. I started with ScoutCrafter and then began to follow many tool channels. So 60 years after finding my grandpas ratchet in the mud it is still working like new after the rebuild. I have only wire brushed the handle because being Petina Boy quality fits the wrench. I also have some junky tools that were my dad’s and can’t bear to throw them away. Anyway that’s my story. Thanks for the fun.

[@357magdad]

Thanks a great story Mark! I'm glad you got that old ratchet working again!

[@rickcentore2801]

In less time than it takes to chuck up a bit in my cordless drill, my #41 has already bored the hole! Hanging on my tool display board is a hammer from my Dad. My brothers and I referred to it as the "B-25" hammer because the two striking faces (one square, one round) reminded us of the tail of a Mitchell bomber.

[@357magdad]

I use my No. 45 all the time! I don't even own a battery drill! I love the story about the B-25 hammer!

[@805ROADKING]

The push drill cleaned up to look better than new. Very well done. I enjoyed seeing the inside of this tool. I picked up a Stanley 41-Y for my nephew at last months Jacktown meeting. It is all metal like your #41. It included several straight flute drill bits and some twist drill bits. Prior to this I did not know they made twist style drill bits for push drills. Dave.

[@357magdad]

I think the newer push drills came with twist drill bits. I'm not sure how well they work with the Yankee drilling action...

My favorite tool of my dads is his 16oz claw hammer, It always command's a special place in the shop. Great work on the push drill and thanks for not upsetting Chuck.

[@ivanstiles7030]

That cleaned up great Magdad. My dad always had a Stanley No 41 when i was a kid. I bought one just like his and cleaned it up and use it a lot. I have aquired a lot of my dads tools and they all hold dear memories of my father and I working on things in the shop. I have meticulously restored a lot of the tools and one day when i get them all restored I'm going to make a "dads tool wall" in my shop (it's going to have to be a large wall😂). I find myself using his tools more than i use my own.

Nice job of refurbishing the drill, I have multiples of all 3 types of drills, a have a couple beyond repair and I use those for spare parts when I can. I buy them for around $2-$5 and the ones questionable about being brought back from the brink of no return I give a Dollar for or leave them lay. My child hood tool that was my dads was a brace and bit set I got from him, i use it quite often as a screw driver, I actually have bits made to fit the brace, they are hard to come by in my area, but still find them once and a while. I have a collection of 14 braces right now and have 2 sets of bits put together from garage sales and fleece markets. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.

[@357magdad]

Those old North Brother's Yankee tools will last for generations!

[@19Bmiller]

And in response to your comment I have the large pump screwdrivers from great grandfather forward

Thank you!

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Great video Magdad! My dad had a drill just like the orange one you use that I still use almost daily. Black and decker i believe... my dad liked that brand... Thankful for memories, and great dad's! Good stuff!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Vic! I bought that drill 25 years ago!

Cool work MagDad! Hard to believe that was the same tool you did such a nice job with it.

[@357magdad]

It was lucky that the nickel plate was in good shape under all the grime!

[@drivesalot0063]

Wonderful job, Magdad. That really came out great! Nice work. 😃👍

I still have my Dad's vise grips and a snap on flat blade screwdriver.

[@357magdad]

They are definitely keepers Robert!

[@rock_machine01]

I have the one with fluted channels!

[@timeflysintheshop]

Well it is now "at least" as good as new! 😎👍😎

I have a Kennedy machinist tool box, some screwdrivers(1 SK multi-bit driver), a couple hammers, and an auger that were my Grandfather's. I believe a couple of those tools were his dad's as well.

[@357magdad]

That's great Mitch!

[@pattihill952]

You did a great job! I have this exact tool from my dad…I wondered how you got the bit out

[@357magdad]

Push drills are still super handy! I'm glad you still have your dad's.

[@gordon7005]

Excellent restoration If you don't send me a tin of Bombay mahogany stain I'm going to tell Chuck you used plastex. 😉🤣

[@357magdad]

LOL 😂

[@liljoeii6091]

Look brand new thank you for the video

[@357magdad]

Thanks Joe!

[@vanislescotty]

Now how exactly did you know I was in the mood for a push drill video? I also have a couple tools of my dad's and I think of him each time I see them. The one I'm sure of is a hundred foot tape measure. He laid foundations and poured concrete pads for a living. I might have more, I will have to go through my tools to see if I have more.

[@357magdad]

There's never a bad time for a push drill video! I hope you find more of your dad's tools!

[@timmynormand8082]

I have that metal one. But I couldn't get it to work Your awesome

[@357magdad]

I got a couple videos showing how the all metal No. 41 comes apart: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6uxm4GZZcugeKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp7dn2qqj9F-aas

@@357magdad hey I did. Twice. But a couple parts would undo.

[@wayneo7307]

Hi Magdad . Nice Job. I Don't Have Any of My Dads Tools As They Are Still With My Mom. And When He Passed Away I Have So Many of My Own. That I Left Them Alone. My Brothers I Believe Use Them Anyways . I Do Have Some Of My Grandfather's Knives Though. So Im Happy .

[@357magdad]

Thanks Wayne! I have a small three blade Craftsman pocket knife that was my dad's.

[@timeflysintheshop]

So I was thinking it would be interesting if you could compare how well each of those push drills work. Use the same bit in each amd count how many pushes it takes to get thru the same board. I am wondering if they have a different strength spring to push, and if they have the same pitch on the screw inside? Maybe you could put a bit of tape on one side and slowly do a complete push with each to see if they Rotate the same number of turns? It would make a cool easy video! 😎👍😎

[@357magdad]

I'd like to compare the North Brothers / Stanley Yankee design to the Goodell Pratt / Millers Falls design someday.

[@dbl6gun45]

very nice job

[@357magdad]

Thank you!

[@setdown2]

Nice job there on the clean up...what was the reason for using two different plastic polishes..? Memory i have of using one of my Dad's tools is he had a #41 push drill that i would grab when i could and lift up the carpet in a room and drill holes in the wood floor beneath it ( i had to drill holes in something and at 5 or 6 maybe 7 the floor was easy and close ) that push drill is in my tool box always... I'm a retired carpenter and used it off and on...🖖

[@357magdad]

The Flitz does a great job on plastic by itself, but PlastX is a finer grit and gives the plastic that extra shine - especially translucent plastic.

[@ianelley]

Nice job! Just found your channel, gonna have to go through your back catalogue now !! Keep up the good work !!

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you found me! I hope you enjoy my content!

[@neverbeen2]

[@357magdad]

A similar push drill is my go-to "cordless" drill!
