In this video I restored a friction ratchet made in 1933 by 'Gedore'.
D.R.P. was the german patent until 1945.
The number 583635 indicates that it was made in 1933.
As you can see in the video this is not a regular ratchet. It is a friction ratchet, which can be used for the same jobs like gear wrenches or pass through ratchets. You can also use it with regular sockets as shown in the video. Also because it has no tooth there is no danger to snap them under high torque, so it can stand much higher loads than a regular ratchet could. That is the main advantage over regular ratchets.
There are different inserts with different sizes which are still available for purchase.
The work on the project took about 25 hours (inclusive filming) plus about 10 hours of editing.
I hope you will have some fun watching the video! If you have any further questions on the process, tools, material, cold bluing or else write a comment, I will try my best to answer your questions.
I hope you liked the video! Thank you for watching and feel free to leave a comment and subscribe if you liked :)

I like when they file the rough casting marks, being mass produced they don’t have time to make them look the good. It’s almost like they way they should be from the factory! Awesome work!!

[@rubenbernal9244]

Dam good job, man; as well as in your work with the 100 year ratchet there is something I love in your restorations. Getting the tools with brushed or scotch brite rubbing finish let them look somehow more robust and solid than the ones with mirror finish; there is something in the glow -when it comes to steel- that make it look somehow cheaper or less solid; I know there are lots of people that like that extra shinny finish and every opinion or like is to respect. However I love that old solid and reliable look in tools. Warm regards from Mexico.

First time to see a ratchet based on fiction.

This was my first time also! 😄

[@Crystalheard]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft May I ask how strong it is? I am a little worried if I am applying too much force but it loses grip, it could be disastrous.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@Crystalheard Unfortunately I couldn’t measure that since I don’t have the tools for that, but it is really strong. And yeah it is also made for high torque applications as far as I know

Cool tool! Never seen one like it. I'm assuming you turn it over to unscrew something.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! Yes me neither, I discovered it just in this project. Yes you turn it around to change direction

[@adamgill2053]

It's a friction spanner. We use them everyday at work. The insert isn't usually a square hole, it's normally a 6 or 12 point 'socket' that goes straight onto the nut or bolt. We use them from 20mm all the way upto 80mm

[@davethursfield9283]

Fine work Doc as usual. I've always wondered, does cold blueing wear off?

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! I think that depends on the part. But if you just cold blue a part which isn’t exposed to friction it doesn’t wear off, at least in my experience. The cold bluing of the inner parts will probably wear off with time at the spots were it is exposed to friction

Das Werkzeug ist durch das schleifen und polieren so glatt geworden, das es bei geringen Mengen Schweiß in der Hand zu rutschen beginnt. Keine so gute Idee gewesen.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Danke für deinen Kommentar, aber das kann ich nicht bestätigen. Ich habe das gute Stück ja auch geölt und wenn man richtig greift dann rutscht es auch nicht. Habe die Erfahrung auch schon bei den anderen Ratschen gemacht die ich restauriert habe

[@roccocroce]

Wonder how much torque it can eat.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Me too! But unfortunately I didn’t have a measuring tool

[@roccocroce]

Would be cool to have a toothless ratchet for those tight spots where you can’t turn much. How much backlash did you notice in this thing?

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@roccocroce yes definitely! What exactly do you mean by backlash? Sry I’m not a native speaker 😅

[@seanmacdermott6555]

Looks nice, but you are really not "restoring". Restoring is returning as close as possible to the original condition. Removing casting marks, chamfering holes, and bluing parts is not restoring, it is improving.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you for your comment and your thoughts 🙂

Too close!
