Antique deadlocked ratchet restoration I Dr. Hut of Handcraft

[@mohammadjam5334]

It's amazing to see how you bring life back into such old tools! The transformation process is so satisfying, especially when the rust is removed, and the tool looks almost brand new again. Thank you for preserving these pieces of history and for sharing your techniques!❤

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you my friend, much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@johnnelson5697]

Beautiful! You have such patient tenacity.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! 😄

[@StealthDonut1]

When I first saw this ratchet I said, "that sure looks like a swench wrench". Salvage Workshop has a pair of them on his channel and they are the mother of all ratchets for torque and power. I may very well be wrong, but it definitely looks like one.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you for you comment, never seen something like this before, very cool 😄

[@johnbradford9235]

Lovely job!!! Just look enough to make it fab again but not to ruin it's authenticity by being a bit too shiny 👏👏👏. Nice one Dr. Hut, love it! 😎

Lubricate the bolt threads with copper grease. They will not seize. BTW great job !

Thank you!

[@rubenbernal9244]

Very good job, as always, friend; surely there must be a way to adapt a square block that will allow use the tool with 3/8 and 1/2 sockets. Very nice to see ather restored old ratchets at the far end in the last shooting; I remember how much I enjoyed watching the ones of the one century and the frinction ratchets also. Warm regards from Mexico.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Yes I also think that there must be something to adapt on 1/2”. Thank you for your comment and your support, much appreciated!

[@georgebrown8312]

Beautiful restoration job you did on the ratchet wrench. It looks much better than before and it works like a charm too. I also like how you made new countersink screws to replace the rusted ones. Excellent work.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you very much!

[@ronm3245]

I was thinking you would have to take it apart and reassemble it just so it could be switched from clockwise to counterclockwise. Then I realized you just turn the wrench over. This was a very "duh" moment for me.

[@Robert-g2i]

You know there is a handheld impact wrench that is actually a manual impact wrench, you just insert the bit you need and lock it and then put it in the screw head and then hit the back end with a hammer and it will jar the screw and possible loosen it.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I didn’t have one at that time

[@mikethespike7579]

I broke out in a sweat watching those rusted screws refusing to budge.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

😂😂

[@mccornchip]

Looks like Santa needs to bring you an impact screwdriver….

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I got myself one now, but honestly I don’t think that it would have helped with the screws before I did electrolysis and after electrolysis I got it out eventually

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you!

[@reuben9213]

I've always found , whenever something is so tight or in your case rusted solid , I try to tighten it with just enough pressure to break the seal from previously being tightened . This way with WD-40 it comes loose easier. But not always.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Good idea! But I would’ve been too afraid to tighten it more 😂😂

[@DD-DD-DD]

Dunno if you have air in your shop, but for tough screws like that, try a tool called a "Shake N Break"

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Don’t know that tool, I will definitely take look!

Excelente restauracion. Al final hizo falta q agregaras un poco de grasa o aceite.

Thank you! I did that, I just didn’t film it :)

[@TomsBackyardWorkshop]

There are 3 of these where I work. I never knew what they were for.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

😄

[@imperialpresence1173]

i use a mix of acetone/brake fluid for stuck screws

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Also tried that and many other things but didn’t include that in the video since it would have been too long. But that is usually a good method, you’re right

[@ericbtn4837]

good job!! you(re right, don't put a drop of grease in the ratchet...

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you!

[@robertbunch7421]

Bad thing about rust is not only does it damage metal like a cancer it also expands and gets gritty which is mainly what causes moving parts to get jammed and stuck together.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Yep 👍🏼

[@TG_Maks]

Nice one. But i have a question - why you didn't nickel plating on metal to protect from rust? With electrolysis it's not hard, also in will be shine.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thanks! I personally don’t like nickel plating. I did it a couple of times but I don’t like the finish much. A little oil will prevent future corrosion :)

[@taranohare2851]

You need an impact driver for those flathead screws

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I didn’t have one

[@JMDinOKC]

The word "ratchet" is etymologically related to the word "rock." That's all I know about it.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Interesting 😄

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

[@M_to_the_T]

Why didn't you use powder coating or spray paint to prevent future corrosion?

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I didn’t want to paint it and oil will also prevent further corrosion :)

[@MaxPower1000.]

For screws he hit but did not turn, they have screw drivers that when you hit them they turn the screw for you.

I know, but I didn’t have one at that time

😄😄 No we are not related 😄

[@repobud1]

All right here we go 1) why does every restoration Channel feel that if they use a half a can of penetrating oil on a screw like it's going to work better it's not because 90% of its on the floor 2) the pointless sanding it just eats time up on the video it doesn't serve a purpose 3) if he would have just used an impact screwdriver he could have broken their screws loose but again more time wasting for the video 4) Goes through all the trouble to make new screws and retap the holes yet doesn't put a drop of oil or grease on them so you can hear them crunch all the way back in. But I will give him props for making his own screws that was impressive

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

All right, here we go: 1) Don't really know how you got the idea that I used half a can of penetrating oil, but I didn't. Also penetrating oil usually is pretty handy and most of the time works very well, give it a try 2) The "pointless" sanding is for optical reasons because I personally like the look of it. So I guess it's not pointless if I enjoy it right? 3) "He" would have used an impact screwdriver, if "he" had one at that time. I am not going to go around buying tools if I can solve the problem with the options I have. Also: You may be very talented in whatever you do but it's not my first day on the job. I very much doubt that an impact screwdriver would've worked. Maybe an air driven impact driver would've worked, but I also didn't have one of those. Didn't so see how seized that thing was? Didn't the square piece of steel that it bent give you an idea of that? 4) All parts got oiled before reassembly. In future I will include that part, since you aren't the only one to mention that, so I'll give you a point here. 5) Thank you

[@marianclaudiuiancu3267]

maybe some grease was good during installation.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Yeah but the gear of the ratchet is open so a lot of dirt would get caught in there

[@spettro9]

[@ГВИ]

Я не всегда понимаю, для чего нужен дорогостоящий пескоструйный аппарат, если затем деталь обрабатывают металлической щеткой с большей эффективностью.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

I don’t always use a wire brush. Sandblasting is much easier and also more fun to do. Also in my opinion it makes a much nicer surface finish. But sure, buying a sandblasting setup is not necessary.

[@roywarren6176]

I used oil for protection:)

[@Emry11]

Good job! But it's better to wear proper gloves when working with brushes on the grinder. If they touch your fingers you will almost lose them.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

Thank you! I understand that, but you should never were gloves on turning tools especially not brushes. If you’re glove gets caught in the brush you will definitely have some huge problems

[@Emry11]

@@DrHutOfHandcraft I mentioned the word "proper" gloves not just any glove. When working with brushes at high speed leather gloves are suitable and will protect your hands. Canvas or plastic or cotton gloves are not suitable. Without a glove there is always a chance of injury even from the traveling parts in the air.

[@DrHutOfHandcraft]

@@Emry11 sure, some gloves are worse/better than others. But as far as I know it is common sense not to use gloves on turning tools. I had it happen to me that my hand hit the turning wire brush, is not very fun but also not that bad. But anyways, I guess everyone is responsible for their own safety. Thanks for sharing your experience!
