How It's Done: Antique-Style Pocket Wrenches

Today we dive deep into the manufacturing of a new size adjustable wrench for sale on my website at www.handtoolrescue.com
This smaller pocket wrench is a new version of the wrench we have been making for years. Every part is now fully machined resulting in much tighter tolerances and a better fit and finish than ever before.
This video is in the style of Season 1 of How It's Made hosted by Canadian Olympic swimming gold-medalist @themarktewksburychannel6647 .
Unsurprisingly, I loved this show and consider it a perfect piece of Canadiana.
Wrenches, screwdrivers, and socket drivers are now for sale at www.handtoolrescue.com

I love how the clear, concise narration of this incredible tool-making process incredibly narrates how clear and concise this tool-making process is.

[@lotharbeck71]

I found it especially clear and concise.

[@HandToolRescue]

Oh how the turn tables.

[@michaelreynolds1904]

@Hand Tool Rescue I sent this to someone I know at Motion Raceworks and TBM Brakes. If you aren't familiar with them, they build racecar parts (and AN wrenches), they amassed an amazing aray of CNC machinery to build some amazing products. Anyone who works in a machine shop will like this video!

I love to say the word brass……brass brass

[@ontaonta6360]

For anyone who missed it, Hand Tool Rescue managed to track down the original (not really) Mark Tewksbury turtle neck sweater from his short stint at How It's made for this bit and I really want people to enjoy how hilarious that details is.

[@HandToolRescue]

Actually took me a long time to find the highest turtleneck I could.

[@bryanforster19]

Best how it's made episode ever.

[@MichaelPillitiere]

Couldn’t be. The music wasn’t bad enough.

[@steair]

The most surprising thing is that the brass adjusters are made of brass. A material made at 100% of brass. Truly an attention of detail rarely seen these days.

[@tomclevenger5668]

This video truly, truly brought tears to my eyes. Never before was a video filled with such grace and elegance. Just heartwarming

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

And so clear and concise

[@Techsus1]

I've had a mini wrench for a little over a year and absolutely love it. I'm a facility director forced to spend too much of my time behind a desk, but my HTR Mini is a "can't go without it" part of my EDC. I use it frequently - this morning I used it to remove a panel on an AC condenser, yesterday I used it to prop up my cell phone for a project meeting. If anyone here still questions the cost after seeing this video, put your money where your mouth is and buy one. You'll quickly change your tune.

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

Never change, Eric. Never change. Sterling documentary.

THE FLEEB! I'm usually dying of laughter every time you open your mouth on the Fitzall, and i have a chance to breathe when someone interjects... but having your top tier humor refined and concentrated for 5 minutes straight was just too much for my brain and i'm on a laugh cooldown for the next 24 hours

[@coreychristian2505]

This. I love how it’s made. Throw in a fair amount of hand tool rescue comedy, and this is perfect. I should’ve had to pay to see this.

[@BoggWeasel]

Hush or we may have to.....😁

[@JasperJanssen]

It seems based on “how it’s really made” by Huggbees.

[@harmonic5107]

The voice was absolutely perfect!

[@RichAdamsFineArt]

This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen. You can take down the internets, we have a winner.

[@qidydl]

I wish you could have spent more time covering how the wrench's turbo encabulator attenuates veeblefetzer flyback and reduces fresnic freen modulation, but this is still great information.

[@HandToolRescue]

I didn't want to get too technical. Next time.

[@reigninoel]

This video is clearly more of a general overview/introduction, I'm certain the more specific processes you mention will be covered in a more in-depth video in the future.

[@konohh]

For crying out loud. Its an turbo encabulator ATTENUATOR veeblefetzer flyback arrangement. Otherwise all other coriolis effect affected wreches never (and there is scientific proof), nerver ever will get even close to any fresnic freen modulation motion damping what so ever. I'm pretty sure, the host was very well aware of this issue.

[@gunner4544]

Not to mention the torqulator accessory..

[@doczoff5655]

​@@konohh No, David is correct, 'encabulator assisted' produces the flyback result, 'attenuator modified' is a modification deliberately applied to cause the flyback effect to fail over into the 'walk back a bloody long way' state. Your mistake is a common misconception that has been perpetualised by the author Veet Verlgunspart, who misrepresented encabulator resonance displacement when he used it as the main plot element in his best selling novel 'Ah crap it happened again!'. If he'd used graphtoid dissonance theory instead his book would've been factually more accurate but far less smutty, especially that really racey bit on page 92!

[@hornetf18]

Got my dad one for Christmas last year and he’s been carrying it around ever since. He uses it all the time.

[@daviddavidsonn3578]

his nuts must be mashed to hell now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Does he need to tighten his nuts a lot?

[@zkdcharge]

My takeaway from this is that you only cut corners to avoid lawsuits. Truly a fly by night operation :P

[@3rdworldgarage450]

The homage to How It's Made is much appreciated!

[@panzerdash]

So glad to see HTR giving back to the starving children. Very wholesome👍🏻

[@daskes123]

I loved watching How it's done when I was a child, very cool that you got to be in their show! Didn't recognize the narrator when he was on screen, but it all came together when the presentation of the production process began.

[@erichenao6537]

You cleaned up good for that beginning. More dad jokes/puns per minute than I can count. Dead pan delivery. I am so here for this content.

[@scottlp2323]

The commentary that every episode of 'How Do They Do That?' so desperately needs. 😁👌👍

[@aldopine]

[@eformance]

Mills and lathes get all the glory, but it's the tumbler that puts in the hard work!

[@coorbin]

You should consider doing a collab with Huggbees, who does a series "How it's really made". You carried this perfectly (and entertainingly) on your own, but you could both gain subs by introducing his community to yours and vice versa.

Your brand of humor is epic.
