[@richardmccomb-yh6ct]

I enjoy watching your videos I find it strangely satisfying

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thank you for watching. I’m very pleased to hear that my video has given you satisfaction.

[@kenjepson1908]

You'll find a pair of these or their bigger/smaller brothers in every maintenance shop in the UK... AKA universal key/bolt cutters/bolt cropper etc.

That metallic blue is one of my favourite colours. But use the proper stove enamel blue blue for Record products.

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thanks for watching. I’ve a few other tools that I’ve done in the hammered blue now. Starting to get a bit of a collection.

[@andyn6266]

We still use these bolt croppers in the steelworks,Sheffield UK.

[@smalltoolrevival]

I’m genuinely very pleased to hear that. Thank you for your comment.

[@pegjames188]

We used to ,an excellent tool until some bastard no mark swiped them along with a load of hand tools.

[@GT_Racer347]

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@teacheme]

Maybe you are already aware of this, but you can buy a tin of Record blue online in the UK

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thank you for watching, and for your comment. I will have to look out for the ‘official record blue’. I do quite like the hammered blue finish though. It matches most of the other bits that I’ve restored. Thank you for letting me know

[@paulp1802]

I’d buy them

[@smalltoolrevival]

Restaurado cortadores de parafusos 🪛😉

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thank you for watching

[@mountaincruiser817]

How did you fix the gap between the blades?

[@caroleast9636]

Why this obsession with tarting up what is basically a working tool. Sure it looks a bit newer but it will cut just the same. All it needed was a bit of oil in the joints and don’t leave it where it’ll get wet and rusty.

[@smalltoolrevival]

I adjusted the bolts on the side (08:09 in the video) until the jaws touched when closed. Thanks for your comment, and for watching.

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thanks for watching, and for your engagement.

[@LeeTillbury]

​@@caroleast9636Why you watching it then??

[@eg8470]

Looked much better before the restoration

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thanks for watching, and for the engagement.

[@chrisgraham2904]

Did you treat the bolts and the unpainted, exposed steel components? Clear coat, or wax, or oils?

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thanks for watching. After being cleaned up, all the nuts and bolts were soaked in a light oil before reassembling. The unpainted surfaces were also given a very light coat of the same oil. I didn’t film any of those bits though. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@intentionaloffside8934]

Did you test their functionality before dismantling? They may have just needed a lubrication and became fully functional. Aesthetics are a waste of time unless you want it in a museum. It’s a tool not art.

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thanks for watching, and for the engagement

[@alan-sk7ky]

Wot? where's the giant vat of evap o rust?

[@smalltoolrevival]

That would certainly make my life a bit easier :-). Thanks for watching

[@tompas11A3n52KkX]

OK it looks good, but do it cut well? No one knows because you didn't show the most important thing and that is how it cuts.

[@smalltoolrevival]

Thanks for watching. Check out the video from 10:25

[@tompas11A3n52KkX]

@@smalltoolrevival OK my bad, I missed that. Thank you.

[@alanpreston3111]

Nice job .. 👍🏻

[@normanmaclean7684]

He cut a bolt in the vise at the end.

[@jibeji]

Very nice restoration, but you shloud grease everything for preserving it: the articulaitons, the threads, etc...
