Rare 1919 Stanley No. 610 Hand-cranked Pistol-grip Drill [Restoration]

This 1919 Stanley No. 610 Hand-cranked Pistol-grip Drill needed some major cleaning, but probably not a full restoration since it's quite rare, valuable, and not in the worst of shape. I decided to do the full restoration though, because I can.
I am glad that the drill was found with original drill bits as they are quite neat. The drill was fun to hold and definitely works.

My Dad was born in 1919, what a wonderful gift this would have been. Thank you very much for bringing these beautiful tools back to life and sharing with us the process.

[@joseluisrodriguez5302]

congrats to your dad !!

[@jazzersten]

Great looking restoration to back what it used to look like

[@liquidpotato2527]

At the end i was like "noo dont do it.. noooooo. Okay he did it and then i just died laughing

[@HandToolRescue]

haha, glad you liked that!

[@Korgon2013]

Great ending!!!! Subscription EARNED!

[@MrScooter46290]

Thanks for always getting a shot of the tool working in the end, bang bang. It is very satisfying. However a video where you give up and chuck it out sounds fine also.

[@Xxazer23]

Man these tools that you stumble upon are simply gorgeous, I'm transfixed. Getting to watch them in action at the end of each of your videos is so satisfying to watch.

[@censusgary]

I don’t think he just stumbles upon them. I think HTR does a lot of searching.

[@namewithoutdigits]

Great video and production work. I appreciate that you took time for nice close-ups of the components. It helps make the work even more immersive. Thanks for sharing.

[@iamrichrocker]

The Smithsonian, or an older Tool maker, should hire you for their museums...you work is impeccable..and a joy to watch...

[@grzesiol666]

I like the pattern at end of video. It reminds me something. Oh I know what is it! It's a rocket!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

You already had my thumb up when you took that tiny little bit of over-spray off but the machine gun thing really out it over the top! Excellent!

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha, thank you. Why not have some fun?

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Exactly! Otherwise it becomes a job. Thanks for the fun videos!

[@jeffsingleton88]

Hand Tool Rescue hey brother. I found one of these a couple weeks ago. you're lucky to have one. wat kind of paint do you use on your cast iron?? and you've earned my sub

[@sSparkthatbluNt420]

Well done. When you took the chuck apart I just thought oh man what a nightmare it would be to put those back in. But you made it look too easy.

[@stu7604]

I loved the ending! Great humor!

[@ShopKatIndustries]

Oh man, this one had me falling out of my chair at the end! Cheers!

[@thesoupin8or673]

Love seeing old machines with gears being restored. Fun content!

[@52Ford]

The ending was pretty damned funny. You EARNED my subscription.

[@fritzferrante]

you make me so happy. the silly bits always put a smile on my face.

[@chetan.gondaliya]

Who ever doing these restorations in this KZbin channel is the man with Golden-Hands... whichever tools he touches becomes reborn and Glittering like new one😍😍😍😍😍😚😚😚

[@harleyinglis5360]

I gotta say its nice to see a another quite guy video

[@censusgary]

This is a cool old drill. It’s the only “egg beater” drill I’ve seen with bit storage on the handle (storage in a hollow handle was a lot more common).

[@joses6421]

beautiful job man i love the new coat of paint and the sand blasting before hand

[@heru-deshet359]

I have one like this that I purchased 10 years ago for three bucks. It's in excellent condition with nearly all of its original paint and it does shoot bullets.

[@HandToolRescue]

Nice!

[@TomsBackyardWorkshop]

That's a really cool design.

[@windegohunter1492]

The ending is the definition of "boys will be boys"

[@billdouglas1721]

I am terribly, terribly impressed by your taking the time to remove the black-paint overspray on the gear. That is exactly the sort of small goof that 98% of restorers would simply shrug their shoulders at, ignore, and then proceed with reassembly. My mother frequently told me that "If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well." I don't know if HTR has an official motto, but in my mind, that advice from my mother would suit you well.

[@craigleemehan]

Bravo on your technique on the Jacobs chuck assembly.

[@melody3741]

honestly engineering is amazing people even back then were constantly pushing the eras tech to its limits

[@jimmytvfclassic]

just fell in love with that drill!!!! Awesome, dude!

[@colonelpain84]

I share your love for restoring old stuff and getting it back in mint condition. Great work, great videos, greets from austria!

[@dixie_rekd9601]

@02:50 those drill bits are SO OLD, theyve unwound themselves.

[@maggs131]

AwesomeVindicator one step up from a spoon bit

[@terencekreft482]

They're pilot hole bits for woodscrews, the old Yankee screwdriver used to come with one(or two).

[@TomsBackyardWorkshop]

Thats easy to fix just get them talking about politics and they wind themselves up so fast.

[@jamestralston]

Laughing my ass off - a "select fire" pistol drill!! I like the colors/style you chose!

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

Good restoration job. Nice seeing these old hand tools. cheers. 😎

[@djAnakin]

simple and clean. Might be my favorite yet.

[@TheFurriestOne]

I've seen modern knock-offs of this type of drill, even one with plastic gears! Good to see such a complete tool with the unusual original bits like this. Though I do hope I simply missed your oiling of the big gear's pivot off-screen or something, wouldn't want this lovingly restored tool to have undue wear! Wish I could find even a decent knock-off of one of these, I've only seen incomplete, falling-apart, and too-much-plastic-garbage versions thus far.

[@manystar]

You are a magnificent craftsman, big respect, have a great week :)

[@harrynewell912]

Good for another 98 years, nice job!

[@OtherWorldExplorers]

Glad to see you didn't clean the wood handle, all those hands that have touched thru the ages are still there. And so is yours :)

[@Ashuraizumi99]

My great grandfather use to have one of those drills I use to use it all the time as a kid.

[@MichaelLawing]

That was a cool find/resto!

[@nolantreeson8428]

Wasn’t expecting that 😂👍🏼

[@constitutionalUSA]

I thought I was the only nut who does this kinda stuff. I hate to see these guys criticize you. pathetic people have that problem. You do a good job, and silently!

[@mikepugh6483]

Beautiful restoration. Love the colors.

[@1959Berre]

Aha, finally somebody using a sand blaster! My favourite machine for restoration projects. Once the metal parts are sand blasted do not touch with greasy hands, the paint will not stick. Wear gloves.

[@w.rustylane5650]

You're definitely a nut! Love the antics. Machine gun drill. W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

[@bigfootandbananaman4746]

That was a really nice restoration. I have never seen a drill bit like that before either

[@johneagle7842]

drill,shotgun,machine gun all in one, nice very nice....lol great video

[@nitramretep]

Very nice restoration! I have a 610 and was glad to see I was on your track! The only regret I have when I restore such hand tools is the lack of powder coating resources available. I think powder is a much more durable finish and it really gives a smart finish. Thanks for your video.

[@elkpointtoolco849]

Awesome restoration - quality work. I loved the shooting!

[@HandToolRescue]

Thanks! I watch all your stuff, love it.

[@07roadking43]

Looks real nice !!! Great videos ! Thats when tools were made to last !!!

[@brianaustin2135]

Love your videos bro!! You do a really nice job on these totally awesome American hand tools!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@baconfarts3211]

Neat restoration...and it works very well!

[@alf9956]

Restored one of these myself when I was younger but not to the extent you have . Nice job

[@jphoffman1]

You are a nut! Love this stuff, just keep it UP.

[@cafeta]

Grabbing the tool like a machine gun... Epic!!!

[@KillingerUSA]

Never disappointing! Great video!

[@HandToolRescue]

Thanks!

[@WesleyDanken]

I like the work table and the way it looks

[@nickkk420]

Stanley tools? That was probably made just a few miles from here! Very cool!

[@TecnicaX]

Hermosa restauración, las herramientas Stanley antiguas son muy buenas. Hace poco compré una morsa prensa y la vamos a restaurar. Buen video. ..saludos.

[@daryl5638]

just ran across your videos, keep em up there great, wranglerstar would be jealous of your old tools

[@HandToolRescue]

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE TOOL IN THIS VIDEO!

[@kingjames4886]

the AMAZING tool EVERY MAN needs!

[@52Ford]

lol

[@Nicoya]

You might want to look into using liquid masking fluid for covering up intricate parts, or even something as simple as brushing some vaseline on the areas you don't want the paint to stick to.

[@REIGNoftheDEAD]

Great job 👍

[@alonzosanchez8577]

oh man that came out Beautiful Great Video!!!!

[@nardars6239]

Nice work.

[@HandToolRescue]

+Ryan Witkowski Thank you! Any tool you want to see next?

[@ashcan1979]

Beautiful find.Never seen one with the drill bit door let alone the bits intact. I would have been tempted to have it powder coated.

[@baudelliocharles1318]

I so want one of these vintage drills

[@luis23471]

Wow! Great restoration, continue like brother, a greeting from venezuela.

[@JunkyardTailgate]

Well done!

[@HandToolRescue]

;)

[@diytherapy2644]

That is beautiful work, could not manage to restore mine, not so old though, turned into a table lamp. posted a video from it. subscribed!

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Watching your vids on a cold rainy night. When you removed the screw on the hand crank I thought you might have broken it but was glad to see it was made that way. 13:15 killed me, I think every man who ever picks up a pistol grip tool does the same thing. LMAO

[@phill903]

Cool Tool!!!

[@daddynutz024]

great video. keep up the good work.

[@iberapni]

Great video. I don´t understand why pepople dislike. Nice job of this guy.

[@jerrycruz1111]

hey man your freaking awesome for making videos like this I've been looking for someone to make videos of real restorations of old tools thanks

[@HandToolRescue]

I shall keep at it then!

[@andrefleuriet2391]

Salut, Je vs suis depuis un moment, et je trouve que vous faites un travail REMARQUABLE 👏

[@aubri1879]

These vids are awesome, keep up the great work! Just a recommendation but you should try and restore an old hand cranked saw or a vice

[@nickmorgan5679]

for some reason tool restoration amazing me i love it got a sub from me keep this up

[@jackandrews4401]

Beautiful man

[@bullrun44]

Pretty dang good!!!!

[@miguelrodrigo3233]

Un trabajo espectacular, como todos los que hace. Saludos.

[@boxerbomber505]

I have a hand drill similar to that, it has a straight handle instead of the shaped one, but it is a fantastic little tool. Its perfect for delicate materials and precision. Hell, there are times where i have used it do drill better holes than its battery powered counterparts.

[@rubineir.deoliveira8958]

E muito massa esses vídeos. Parabéns. Esse cara é um gênio.

[@ExplosivoFilms]

Loved it. Your videos just keep getting better.

[@HandToolRescue]

Thank you! Any tool you want to see next?

[@ExplosivoFilms]

Hand Tool Rescue Possibly an odd request, but I'm super into pencils. Any old sharpeners laying about?

[@HandToolRescue]

I would love to do one of those! Especially the old German ones, but they are quite expensive.

[@ExplosivoFilms]

Hand Tool Rescue Thrift shops and junk yards! I also run the Wood & Graphite YT channel, dedicated to Pencils. If I ever come across an old sharpener I'll keep it aside for you.

[@HandToolRescue]

Nice! That would be fantastic, thank you.

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

A good job. cheers !

[@durandanne-john6621]

I have appreciated your trick for the three parts, jaws it'was very clever ! For masks the teeth of the gears i would used modeling clay for children used . good luck for the next tools !

[@incremech]

The Sweet Heart mark (SW within a heart) makes this piece collectible.

[@eloyelwawero]

Muy buen trabajo

[@anwarkhayal8312]

WELL DONE

[@BootStrapify]

the gun imitation is classic..... I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[@dloadthis1617]

Great video! You should send this to the Stanley Tool company. I bet they have a lot of tools they would like you to restore for their own private collection.
