Antique Reversible Hex Ratchet Restoration | 80 Years Old

Antique Reversible Hex Ratchet Restoration | 80 Year Old
In this video I am restoring a very old ratchet. I bought this ratchet from Flea Market. I searched a lot to know the history of this ratchet but I didn't find this ratchet but found another similar one. According to its history it is at least 136 years old. If you have any idea where this ratchet comes from or how old it exactly is please write it in the comments!
I began the restoration by disassembling all the parts of the ratchet. To remove rust from all parts of the ratchet, I dipped the parts in vinegar. After removing the rust from the ratchet I removed the casting marks from the ratchet and sprayed primer After the primer spray I spray painted (River Blue). Then removed the rust from the ratchet socket and sanded it with sandpaper and buffed it. Sanded and buffed the other parts . After restoring all the parts, assembled all the ratchet parts.
Work I do in the video and what I use . If you want to ask any question, please ask in the comment section. I read everyone's comments and try to answer.

Beautiful restoration job I must say. That reversible ratchet wrench looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much ☺️

[@geezerweezer1009]

Nice job. I particularly appreciate your telling the materials you used.

[@michelpassone8804]

Amazing! What a transformation. Bravo for the care taken in this restoration. Hours spent but an even more beautiful tool than the original. Congratulations.

[@AyazRestoration]

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you appreciate the transformation and the effort put into restoring it.

If you ever used that wrench in the field you would realize how silly it all is; That is for removing the studs on flanged pipe fittings. Initially we used something known as "knocker wrenches" to loosen the nuts on the studs on a flange. Then this type of wrench to remove the stud-nuts. Depending upon the flange there may be from sixteen to thirty-two of these studs. Also, in the kit that you carried in your truck there was an assortment of sockets to fit the different sized nuts. It was a convenient tool for removing and then re-installing the nuts. Usually we wire wheeled the threads on the studs and squirted some penetrating oil on them before we got started. Usually this was in an oil field, refinery or terminal where we had to take apart process equipment with some regularity. It is still sold by several different manufacturers. Still, a thumbs-up on your clean up and repaint. A worker who showed up with such a pretty wrench would get teased merciliessly.

[@AyazRestoration]

Thank you for sharing your insights! It’s great to hear from someone with hands-on experience in the field. Your detailed explanation about using knocker wrenches and managing studs is really valuable. I'm glad you liked it😊

[@adanalxxx611]

I have seen many repair videos but I have not seen works where the fine details in this video are done... You can repair even the finest mechanical watches, I have no doubt... I congratulate you.

[@kayrowh]

😅 Then you've not watched channels called My Mechanics

I'm glad you liked it ☺️ Thank you so much!

[@jt9498]

Never saw a ratchet like that before! Beautiful job on restoring it! Looks much better than when it was new, I bet! :)

[@AyazRestoration]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the restoration. It really does look even better than new! :)

[@kzh-stew2564]

Im an electrician and we use this tool as a portable threader for conduit.

[@user-yv8dz7kx6f]

Today I learned rubber spray paint is a thing. Amazing job on the restoration as always.

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it 😊

[@user-sl3il5sz2s]

Maybe the polished surfaces should have been nickel plated? Otherwise, this instrument would have to be kept in a museum display case to prevent the unprotected steel from rusting. But that's just nitpicking, very good work, of course. My Like for your video.

[@AyazRestoration]

Nickel plating is indeed a great for enhancing durability. I appreciate your support and are glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

[@gilbertodemenezes4455]

PERFEITO!

[@AyazRestoration]

Fico feliz que tenha gostado 😊

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for your support ☺️

[@churlepatakha]

Awesome restoration, rubber spray was new for me. Consider doing more on removing casting marks. Satisfying work!

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked the restoration and found the rubber spray paint interesting. I only removed the casting marks that were over on the wrench. I will try to do better in my next project.

[@notacreativehandle]

Why?

[@user-vd8gu3uy6t]

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it 😊

[@donaldraaff5537]

I think the casting marks should stay.

[@dyg1tf206]

Agreed, no gloves, but if you do wear gloves, make sure they are fit. Very important.

[@Matt-my7pz]

Great Job, so many opinions on your work sheesh. Well done.

Looks great, I would like it more if you had did it red and black

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it. I'll definitely consider your suggestion for red and black in the next project!

[@imtyazuddin8151]

Marvellous indeed

[@AyazRestoration]

Thank you so much 😊

[@andrzejporeda7281]

Bardzo super jest to odrestaurowany Pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AyazRestoration]

Dziękuję bardzo

[@paulorth2251]

Obviously a specialty tool for a piece of equipment as the head is not interchangeable. I can hear the boss now "Go get me the big blue wrench, with the socket on the end. We gotta fix this thing"😊

[@garrypennington9576]

Looks like a pipe threader with a socket head in it, pretty cool , never seen that before.

[@user-if6tx3iy1p]

Very good! I'm from Americana SP Brasil.

[@Davidslabofficial]

Are you from Pakistan? if yes then can you tell me name of following things and where can i find them? 1: Spray Primer you used before paint. 2: The rubber Paint. 3: that Blueing solution what's it's called? Thank you awesome restoration.

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it 😊 You will get the stuff from the daraz

[@Davidslabofficial]

@@AyazRestoration Thanks a lot for Answer.

[@RuthsDev71]

Amnesia the bunker reference

[@andrewwilcox8316]

Why grind off the casting marks and then paint it? That's how it was made and it's part of its character. IMHO.

[@AyazRestoration]

The casting marks were extra and looked bad so removed them

[@jeffspangler2367]

Spray paint is easy, and it comes right off, you even see it scratched off is some of the assembly, powder coating is way better and much more durable, powder coat or hot/cold blue and polish…maybe I’m a bad person, but I like seeing different ways people do this stuff

[@lawrencehull9017]

Why do they always lift the part out of the bath without skimming the crap of first???

[@Sirio69]

The ruber pain? t when do you buy it folk? Very good job

[@AyazRestoration]

It's been over a month I bought the rubber paint. I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you so much 😊

[@ahsmeg4069]

It looks like this ratchet is meant to be re-socketed in different sizes - did you get any other sockets with it?

[@AyazRestoration]

Yes, there must be different size sockets with this ratchet. But I didn't get it.

[@TYEGaming]

Where do you get the rubber spray, looks good

[@AyazRestoration]

I bought the rubber spray from an online store

[@toumicarlos4037]

Never use gloves on spinning machines: better get light injuried then loose the whole hand.

[@guerreroexterminador470]

Para empezar no me cuadra que haya salido tan fácilmente el primer tornillo con tanta mugre

[@AyazRestoration]

Había grasa vieja en la rosca del tornillo, lo que hizo que el tornillo se abriera fácilmente۔

[@sergeytolstov956]

Good job, athough is not perfect.

[@Ecila-Samerberg]

You didn't realy fix the casting marks... Very sad

[@damiandriscoll2562]

Your mama

[@davidchapman8789]

A very nice restoration, but you need to stop with all the tweezers crap, its tool restoration not brain surgery 😅

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you enjoyed this video. I use tweezers so that the small parts are visible properly.☺️I liked your brain surgery joke😅

[@imadragon8393]

Bish stfu and just watch it. Some people find it relaxing and people don't have Lil girly tiny fingers like yours. Can't believe some people even liked this comment.

[@shrug53]

Ok that makes sense. I thought you guys were just being overly dramatic 🤣

[@3000d]

I like the tweezers crap, plz keep it.

[@themuseumbuff]

I must say I have large hands as he does tweezers help to pick up small parts, I work mainly with wood but there are times tweezers help

[@bruceschweigert6457]

Sorry, i would have got it operating, disassembled,blasted wire wheel, assembled, and done. What a waste of time!!!

[@leandro.crespo]

What you performed is not a restoration, it was a modification. I really can't understand why you would remove the original casting marks and not use the original paint that was clearly red. Also I'm not a fan of polishing a tool like this.

[@maxtek291]

Nobody cares

[@rudybriskar5267]

@leandro, would you like a snivel rag? Perhaps a tampon?

[@-Kristeen]

He did great till he spray painted it 👎

[@DamenJames-s5e]

Where the fuck can I buy one of those???!!!!! 😮
