Antique Reversible Hex Ratchet Restoration | 80 Years Old

[@joshthecomputertech]

I like the tweezers. And finally someone who lets rusty items soak in the vinegar longer than 5 minutes and let it work! Very nice.

[@AyazRestoration]

I appreciate you feedback. Thank you so much 😃

[@hessxpress3016]

muriatic acid from the hardware store that takes five minutes. works great! Just make sure you’re neutralize after

[@dbabyzo]

That looks like a racheting pipe threading wrench great job on restoring the wrench ,it looks new!

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it ☺️

[@Landrew0]

I prefer restorations that restore the piece to better than original.

[@shaneherman8906]

That looks great. Really like the color and the chrome. Keep it up.

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it 😊

[@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.

[@msheart2]

Saving to watch later because I like old tools & enjoying seeing them go from rust to ravishing. As a general guideline, not a hard-and-fast rule an object is an antique when over 100yrs old, Cars being the exception. Thanks.

[@patrickseynave]

bravo beau travail merci du partage !

[@geezerweezer1009]

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

[@john20johnny]

Beautiful, well-done 👍👍👍

[@AyazRestoration]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Tishers]

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😊

[@georgebrown8312]

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 ☺️

[@maciejjanicki8385]

I have some doubts. 1. How it is possible to get so much mud after vinegar bath? 2. Why there is no trace of black iron acetate?

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.

[@david.thomas.108]

Nice restoration. I just want to note you are using your buffing/polishing wheel back to front. The way you use the back, debris can fly up. Better to use the other side so the item and debris is pushed down as you use it.

[@AyazRestoration]

The way I use the polishing wheel, the debris goes down, not up. Well, you said a very good thing. And I'm glad you like my work. Thank you so much.😊

[@Khanji743]

Great work as always.

Nice restoration 👍

[@AyazRestoration]

[@lucalattanzio7531]

Why use plyers when you have a socket to turn the head? You could have damaged the roundness was it smaller and more frail...

[@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.

Better quality than modern equivalents

[@AyazRestoration]

You said right 😊

[@Thoron_of_Neto]

Hahahahaha no, just because something is old, doesn't make it better than modern tools.

[@TheClickbaitGuy]

Lovely restoration, really enjoying your type of videos! Keep up the good work man 🤝👍🏻

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked my work. Thank you so much 😃

[@Skeptical_Numbat]

It's fascinating seeing such old tools restored. It's pretty clear that this was a cheaply made wrench (sand cast with virtually no clean up & the inside of the hexagonal socket wasn't precision finished) designed for a particular nut / bolt. Do you know what its original purpose was? (It seems close to truck lug nuts, but they need to be precisely torqued.) BTW - It's great to see someone who works with tools taking proper care of their hands. (You wouldn't believe the messed-up injuries I've seen on the hands of people who didn't bother.) You've even got specialised gloves for different purposes (eg: wire brushing vs polishing), something I wouldn't mind learning more about, actually.

[@AyazRestoration]

I appreciate your feedback ☺️

[@imtyazuddin8151]

Marvellous indeed

Obrigado por suas palavras gentis! É ótimo ouvir que você faz o mesmo. Felicidades

[@AB-ot3bc]

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!

[@Bertusproximus]

There were a number of American companies that made ratchets identical to that in the early 20th century. Lowell and Greene Tweed& co. Made almost identical tools to yours. But I believe Hale was a company out of Hale MI. I could be wrong and it could be a UK version though

[@АндрейНикитенко-ф4с]

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! 😊

[@sawdusttom]

Beautiful work - are other sized sockets available or is it a dedicated tool?

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it ☺️ There are other sockets for this ratchet, but I didn't get them with this one.

[@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.

[@stalkself]

хороший инструмент

[@aggeojuarez2659]

Me hubiera gustado una cromada al dado haciendolo mas moderno y actualizado ademas de darle el contenido del sustrato k desbasto con el cepillo alambre y el desgaste quimica del vinagre !!

[@khalidtricks786]

Very good

[@AyazRestoration]

Thank you so much 😊

[@patrickcase55]

Great restoration job,what was the liquid used to soften the rust ?

[@AyazRestoration]

I'm glad you liked it.☺️ Vinegar

[@ЛебедевМаксим-ф7ы]

Отлично! А почему смазка жидкая а не консистентная?

[@sebastianaussenhofer5960]

Nice job but you definitely need a lathe 😊

Where do you get the rubber spray, looks good

[@AyazRestoration]

I bought the rubber spray from an online store

[@raiss9]

You have to do your job with patience, restoring items is an art . you can do better than that. Good luck.

[@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

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

[@AyazRestoration]

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@СергейКуликов-х8у]

Называется - производственный ананизм. Сразу в пескоструй и все быстро и очень чисто.

[@AyazRestoration]

Но у меня нет пескоструйного аппарата.

[@Landrew0]

A ratchet for each socket size. Why didn't I think of that?

[@AyazRestoration]

There are other socket sizes for this ratchet. But when I bought this ratchet, the sockets didn't come with it.

[@sal8743]

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

[@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

[@ajbudda1038]

I don't understand why you would grind the casting imperfections and then paint it. Its an antique!

[@canadian_avgeek001]

Yes the kerosene oil the song that is used in car crash vids

Is skimming the proper way of doing this? Have no clue

[@davidfinstrom3899]

I don’t quite get the idea of wearing gloves. The only time I wore them at work was handling really sharp stuff or very hot stuff. The ability to actually feel what you are working on is a big part of the experience.

[@Thoron_of_Neto]

You also absorb a ton of nasty stuff through your hands if you don't wear gloves...

[@ChoseSimba]

You made it look brand new. What's the point of the patina it built up. Good work but it looks like any tool from harbor freight
