Why You are bullshiting people? No meter where and how object from WW2 was kept, it will have patina, not a fresh rust. Stop lying. It iis absolut fake

[@mabloodhound]

Because you ground the cutting jaws, they no longer will cut small wire, like barbed wire or telephone cable.

[@petercarioscia9189]

Yep, bugged the crap out of me.

[@Jade-pq9lk]

it's nice to watch you and see how things were made when they were made by people and not by machines. you did a great job on this.

[@willieckaslike]

Engineer, Restorer, Magician, and now, Karate Expert ! Thank you for your excellently presented videos, which demonstrate your skill so well & are entertaining to watch.

[@jonathanl6568]

Beautiful

[@jakebrowncollection1772]

Nice pair of british wire cutters

[@furball5553]

The tumb nail looks like a alien from another galaxy and in its state now is quite beautiful not everything needs a restoration nice job it will live on to cut another day 👍

[@paulorth2251]

A pair of wire cutters suitable for putting on a shelf or use in the tool room. Thanks for sharing this video. 👍👍😁🇨🇱🇺🇸

[@daltonsparks1293]

I love watching these videos while working on my own projects

[@bobjoncas2814]

...good to see an old tool brought back to life, nice job...stay well..

[@lostandrestored]

It's a really cool tool, and extremely well built compared to what's done today.

[@mehmetonalkarakaya]

good job

[@alwillkill]

Great job fella.

[@rlm98253]

Well done, sir.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Very Cool restoration on a pair of WW2 Army wire Cutters !!!!!!!! Also have a Happy Christmas

[@TishaHayes]

The jaw geometry is all messed up; It was bad before you started but you probably should of added material to the cutting edges with hardfacing, measured the angles, ground down to a new profile and re-hardened the cutting edges.

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful restoration good job well done my friend

[@user-gv4tn9nb7f]

Beautiful!

[@randomprojectstube]

Cool wire cutters, great restoration.

[@myrestorations]

Congratulations for the work 👏 🙌 👍

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful restoration good job well done

[@Rob8]

That edit at the end. It's clear they didn't cut that chain. Be honest.

[@traceyl.cumberland225]

Very cool! Well done!

[@Austeration]

Pretty cool 👍 thanks for sharing. Great project great work.

[@ChipChannelRestorations]

Great Video Lost & Restored!!

[@markneo1]

Sempre um excelente trabalho.👏👏🇧🇷

[@TACNERD1]

Wonderful!!!

[@petercarioscia9189]

Looks cool and all; the way you ground down the jaws made it basically unusable as a wire cutter but still looks neat.

[@craigbird8191]

Good job. Looks better than new.

[@Tatal.b]

Excelente restauração, no capricho 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🇧🇷

[@oneshotme]

They look great!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@isntthatshameful1267]

NICE WORK. Only relevant when the material is at hand tho.

[@ferd.6779]

Good restoration, well done!! continue videos 2022 ...^-^

[@DeathMountainDragonaut]

That might be my favorite restoration yet. Time to dig through your videos for another! Awesome work done here!

[@kreekcrazy9917]

So cool

[@winteryrex7845]

i have one of these at home :)

Que quebra cabeça... uma confusão para um simples alicate! 😅 Mas, foi muito capricho Parabéns! 🤗🤗🤗

[@romeovidalrodriguez7754]

hola me gustó el video saludo: 🤜🤛👍👊💪👌

[@blueduck9409]

Good job. I would have put some grease or some kind of lubrication on the moving parts (joints) during assembly.

[@tyf00s]

Bad sharpening. Very big gap!

[@davidhamm5626]

I add my lubrication last. It is less messy, and only goes where i need it.

[@fermingoicoecheasantesteba903]

Esta oxidación es un poco rara, me da la impresión que es provocada.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

Looks beautiful, but you removed so much material to get those nicks out of the blades that they don't touch anymore.

[@KazakovNik]

Режущую кромку конечно восстанавливать не надо The cutting edge of course does not need to be restored

[@lawrenceforman6999]

WOW!!!! He’s great toolmaker!!! 🔧🔨⚒🛠⛏🔩⚙️⛓ Lol, toolmaker cut the metal roll by hand 🤚 Well, Wire cutter is very successful. From filthy rust to beautiful tool…..GREAT JOB!!!!! Made in England? Made in World 🌎……👍

Bom !

[@larannar123]

Really good job!! Great video!!👍👍

[@basurdepower3912]

My granpa and dad, both carpenters, said the same I thought at 1.1 mins of vid. The vice is on the wrong direction, it should be rotated 180°.

[@raoulvolfoni1800]

Everybody would turn that vice 180 ° ... except him . He hasn’t realised that turning the screw would be easyer ...

[@prasadvn524]

Nice job well executed

[@rachellocks1623]

I tried several times to karate chop metal rods but couldn't get it to cut. Please advise.

[@user-nn6iu3xe5q]

Теперь можешь их выкинуть, лезвия после залома сточил слишком много, они теперь не будут кусать как раньше

[@poissonnord5481]

👍❤✌

[@khaledalzaky5329]

I would like to ask about why you put them in the oil after bluing and what kinda of oil is that

[@elizabethkizzar5489]

Why is it when I see these wire cutters my brain automatically thought of William Holden in Stalag 17 or Steve McQueen in the Great Escape?

[@johnbuxton3841]

I am curious as to why you use your vice the opposite way round to everyone else. Perhaps you could explain your reasons.

[@lostandrestored]

My camera mount is in the way for close ups. So I turn it around to get a better shot.

[@AmazingThings685]

good restoration man

[@digiacomtech5589]

For the pin removals, you should have used a drill press with the tool secured in a vise. This would have prevented the multiple damage sites you caused with the rotary tool when it got away from you while trying to grind the head down. Hell you could have used a spring-pin center punch and a hand drill with allot better results. The most important part of ANY restoration is NOT to cause additional and/or unnecessary damage to the item you are restoring ... and you obviously failed at that.

[@matthewmcdaid7962]

The title says that the tool is a barbed wire cutter. When are you going to show them cutting barbed wire?

[@nordicson2835]

My Dad was in the pacific in WW2 never really talked to us about it , l wonder if he was ever issued a set of those.

[@texassmelting7550]

So he was russian?

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Only if he was with the British army. These cutters have the crow's foot (wrongly AKA the arrowhead) stamped on them. That means they were British government property.

[@davidjohnston330]

If they could talk! 👌👌👌

[@lostandrestored]

Seriously, I really wonder what happened to the person who carried these.

[@josetelesdasilva6612]

With a hand like that you don't even need a saw lol.

[@robertgilmour1903]

Usually when see the word "awesome" in a video title it isn't but not this time. Good editing as well.

[@lostandrestored]

Thanks Robert! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@texassmelting7550]

Those are Soviet! I saw that they were manufactured in Izhevsk from the triangle with the arrow in it!

[@praetor678]

British Broad arrow marking.

[@pablodana1512]

When you sanded the cutting pieces, edges ended too far. Then, the "cut" is edited, of course. Now, is a useless tool, but... nice finishing, right? Not awesome at all, sorry.

[@gemtel54]

Don't make them like that anymore, nice job!!

[@KrispyBizcut]

How in the everlasting hell did you cut that metal by just karate chopping it??? Lol... seriously tho???? Lol... just kidding!!!

[@Jams848484]

He hardened his fists by heating them up to 460 °C and then plunging them into used Chuck Norris beard oil.

[@KrispyBizcut]

@@Jams848484 sounds good to me! Lol

[@chrisjimenez2192]

Now they can be used to free an entagled horse from barbed wire

[@lucialima781]

show

[@thebrickshooter5974]

You did a bunch of damage with hastily removing the rivets, did a horrific job at sharpening (rounding the edging and making a huge gap, really?) and didn't even use any sort of lubrication for the moving parts. How exactly is this an "awesome restoration"?

[@Zaudunyani]

He did zero damage removing the rivets, sharpened the snips perfectly (the gap is intentional, but you may not have cut tensioned wire before), and literally soaked the parts in oil after blueing them. You have no idea what you're talking about and it shows.

[@kjamison5951]

“Don’t tell Jerry, we’re going out through the ruddy fence tonight!”

[@brontlaszlo8708]

Ruber glove???? craftsman's hands are dirty!

[@HolyJuan]

This was a passable restoration until you faked the chain cutting at the end. Disappointing. Use a smaller chain or wire to prove it works.

[@fafnir-fasolt]

Why this "restoration" of a functional historic item? It would have been enough using a BRASS wire brush and some weapons oil. No need to dismantle it and insert brass tubes and new rivets. This is a cutter for barbed wire and not for chain links. Therefore the extendable arms and the vee shaped opening to catch a wire.

[@kosovorot]

Aw man... you made whole structure weaker using this crappy replcement pins. And you can clearly see it with your edited cut in end. This tool couldn't cut chain ring, that's why you edited video.

[@robertvien5693]

I think that tool originally belonged to a thief

[@marcosmos7478]

You ruined it with super blue….

[@b0ba_b0iz15]

"awesome restoration" -throws wrench on the table-

[@blackraven8805]

Completely unnecessay overkill...

[@igorzaitsev3359]

НЕСХОДЯТСЯ! Херовый мастер.

[@MrMuzzEdit]

It's not a restoration. It's some kind of pornography!

[@victorunbea8451]

Using a cold bluing solution? Cheater.

[@johnhobson9165]

Orginally, it would have been painted flat olive green all over. In ground combat, bright shiny things are not good.

[@bobwhelk2115]

In my shop it would be restored and lost.

[@jg113]

now its nice but useless.

[@augustm.moschera8646]

umm.....the blades are far from touching. I like restoration videos, but I don not believe this tool cut that chain. Please do a better job next time, you owe it to your viewers and these old tools.

[@edinofuentes3936]

La herramienta de antes si le utiliza bien y se le da mantenimiento pueden llegar a ser eternas 😊 las de ahora son plástico y latón 😅😅😅👍

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Unsubbed. Scored the face of the tool with the Dremmel and the jaws never met! This tool "Repair" was low quality, and yes, I could do better. I'm outta here.
