[@CoolAgainRestoration]

It’s nice that you preserved 👍 hope that last another 80-100 years

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you mate. Yeah I'll give it to my grand kids one day 😁👩🏻‍🔧

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Man that thing was really dead locked! Great video!

[@LittleRestorers]

Yeah took me 2 days to take it appart 🤣. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ivanstiles7030]

Very cool. Nice repair on the nut. I like the way you kept all of the original parts.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks. You ever watch some channels where they take something completely rusty like this, clean it up and its barely pitted... 😂 - enjoy your comments 👍

Video was okay.....the work was impressive yes......but the ending made this the best video in the world for 2023 !

[@LittleRestorers]

Haha, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

That wrench looked like it came from the sea! Great video work! 😃👍

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you my friend. Appreciate you taking the time to check out the video - yes I left the electrolysis going for much longer than usual , did look like an ocean find 😁👍

[@everardomezajr3495]

Literally brought back to life!

[@LittleRestorers]

Sure was 😉

[@HandsonRestoring]

Great !! That´s the restorations i really like, when most parts of the object are preserved and keeps the signs of time and not "i make new one" nor the ones that ends looking newer than new .. if you know what i mean ! Keep the good work !

[@LittleRestorers]

Absolutely correct. I know exactly what you mean. Am glad we share the same point of view. Thanks for watching and appreciate your time and great comment 👍 👩🏻‍🔧

[@toolrestoration]

Better than the short version 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 especially liked that brilliant repair , when I saw that come apart I thought hmmmm what ya gonna do now .....

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks Jim. I fought with that handle for so long and unfortunately breaking the collar out seemed to be the only option. You not suppose to watch the short version 🤣🤣👩🏻‍🔧

[@johnfix1]

Great job getting that wrench working. It looks like a first cousin to my Pit Monster.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thank you John. Yes it's the Pit Monster's Australian cousin 🤣👩🏻‍🔧

[@Austeration]

Wow that was in bad shape 👍 A few bad words spoken I bet when it didn't come apart. Nice job, it turned out great from how it was at the start. Looking forward to your next project.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks for your kind words. Yes getting rid of all the pitting would have made it a mini wrench 🤣

I've started playing catch up, watching these "golden oldies"! This one may give me the heebie jeebies! 🤣🤣 From filthy, rusty paperweight to fully functioning tool in less than 8 minutes! If only... 🤣🤣 I have some jacks that are as bad. I felt your pain, as they to hurt to get apart... Eventually! They've been waiting for me to get the time needed to dismantle. I'll need to set aside a week or so. 🤣🤣 F. Lasseter & Co made all sorts of interesting stuff for houses, too, such as door locks & handles, hinges & transom window parts. My dad restored & sympathetically extended many Victorian & Fed homes. As a kid, it was my job to clean & sandblast (when required) these parts to be painted. That bug bit a long time ago... And we know how that goes! 🤣🤣

[@LittleRestorers]

@KevinD_33x150 Oh man ,I thought you'd seen all my videos by now 🤣. I've never heard of Lasseters making tools until I researched this one. I know u've been wanting me to restore a jack, too. Haven't found a decent oldie yet 😉

[@KevinD_33x150]

@@LittleRestorers I've been wanting to chip away at all of them for some time. Since I pinched a nerve, with very limited lifting for a fortnight, I've been off work for the past week & next week, I'll have time to do some serious watching! Good luck with a jack! I always keep my eyes open for jacks. 👍🏼

Well done.😊

Thanks mate 👍

[@Uwannawatch]

Very impressive work Brother. neat trick with the metal paste and glad you chose to just wax it. Can't wait to see your next project.🍻

[@LittleRestorers]

Am glad you like it. It looks very simple but still took a lot of work to get all that rust out. Next project might take a while 🤣👍👩🏻‍🔧

[@Uwannawatch]

@@LittleRestorers I'm sure it took a lot of work. You were removing Real Rust. I actually love the simple finish. You kept all the integrity that tool should have and didn't try to change it to something else. As far as the next project it will take as long as it takes.

Great job! I have not watched all your videos (yet), but I am wondering if you have evaporust in your neck of the woods? If so, and if you give it a try, you will find it works great on things seized up like that. It may have saved you from having to split and repair the nut. As for the final result, the only thing you missed (unless you wanted it left as it was) was to straighten the top jaw a little so it was more parallel. I like to be able to take one of my antiques off the wall and use them occasionally. Just to warm the souls of the people who used the tools long ago. 👍😁

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks again for watching. Yes we have evaporust down under but it's bloody expensive. I've had good results with electrolysis (as an more cost-effective option) but this one was really so far gone that the metal and the rust had become one. But i do want to get some evaporust eventually so please keep watching more videos so I get enough money to buy some 🤣😄👍

[@timeflysintheshop]

@@LittleRestorers what I have heard about electrolysis is that it works best in a "line of sight" between the electrodes and the part, so anything hidden from view does not get as much de-rusting. Evaporust will dissolve rust if it can get to it. So if something is seized wth rust, it will get into the joint, but it will take some time to get all the way in. I see many others using an acid (citric acid, white vinegar) and that is much cheaper than evaporust, BUT when the rust on the surface is dissolved, it will start to eat the metal object as well! If you want to get into a seized up joint, you would have to leave it in long enough that the rest of the part would beging to get eaten! If you do eventually get some evaporust, remember to clean off as much of the rust from the outside of the part with a wire brush so you don't "waste" the evaporust on "easy rust"! Do you watch "scrounga's workshop"?

[@LittleRestorers]

@Time Flys in the Shop Thanks for the information, i'll definitely take that on board when i get my hands on some evaporust. Yes, I follow Stuart, he is a friend of my channel also and such a great bloke.

That can't be restored - Little Restorers said "Hand me my hammer watch this" - Excellent job sir. I'm surprised the steel putty worked that good, cool... Good Stuff

[@LittleRestorers]

Haha , thanks for checking it out Mr Vic. Yeah the steel putty worked great . No way I could have stick welded that 😉👍

[@shedmanx3640]

Okay, I believe it wasn’t fake rust, but did you bury it in your backyard for a week first? 😂 All jokes aside mate that was incredible you got that functioning again. Amazing work. I thought you’d show us your welding skills on the collar but the metal paste seemed to do the trick. That Gillies Gun Paste is good stuff. I ordered some online when I saw you first use it and it’s fantastic stuff.

[@LittleRestorers]

Thanks mate - I thought about welding it or even replacing that collar. The problem was the thread. I could not find anything to fit and fabricating a new piece was going to be a headache. I figured the collar only acts as a stopper, so the handle does come off if you unscrew it all the way. So it doesn't take any of the pressure really. If one day I have the skills to make a new one I will ... may be 🤣. Have you heard of Lassetters tools ? I'd love to find out the exact years this was made .
