eBay metal shrinker restoration.

Eckold Handformer HF80 found on EBay !
What are the chances ? Pretty slim !
But one came up for sale and a very early one at that. At a very good price it looked like it was going to need some work but my thoughts are that if you’re clever enough to use it then you should be clever enough to fix it ! Never once to shy away from a challenge ( sometimes to my detriment) I jumped in. With spare parts available from Eckold.co.uk it is now restored and ready for another 70 years of service.

Once again I'm left speechless. Sure you will find this tool categorized in the 'Why didn't I get one sooner' category. Maybe at some point you can find an apprentice to pass these remarkable skills along to.

[@marksitaliangarage]

Do they sell them on EBAY ? These Appreciates ?

[@Mitkawatch]

That’s is a beautiful tool! Glad it ended up with you.

[@marksitaliangarage]

[@marksitaliangarage]

Glad you like it. There are loads more videos on all sorts of stuff in the back catalogue. So you don’t need to wait for the next one just have a look at the old ones and there’s a new video every Sunday.

Cue for schoolboy jokes? Focke me!

[@marksitaliangarage]

Yes But it might just get me a KZbin after school detention !

[@maseraticc2834]

Fabulous old bit of kit that Mark. Schoolboy error though in mentioning the cost of new jaws should you wife be watching... 😐

[@marksitaliangarage]

You are quite right. But I’m pretty sure that my wife will not be watching as she has seen enough about old cars already !
