Rusted Wrench Restoration - Tool Restoration | Mister Patina

[@Croi_Fiain]

Just found your channel today - I've inherited a couple of toolboxes full of old tools from my father recently and it seemed such a shame to let them go to waste since they are all coated in rust. I was looking to see how easy it would be to restore them. Your channel is very peaceful to watch. It looks a satisfying process and has helped inspire me to take the time and effort to have a go at this myself. Great work - especially with no narration but light humour too. Perfect. Thanks for making the effort to create and post these.

[@misterpatina]

Hey JR, thanks for your kind words! I wish you all the best and a lot of fun restoring the tools :-) If you got any questions, feel free to contact me. My email adress is in the Channel Info. Thanks! 🙂

My father used to have a textile factory and these wrenches came with the German knitting machines he had. I have a few of them. I keep one in my trunk because it fits most lug nuts on tires.

[@misterpatina]

Very interesting story, I like every information I can get about the tools I restore. Thank you! 🙂

That thing has probably snapped since this video was made, if it has been used for anything. Needed to be tempered after heating in order to not be like glass.

Hey Leslie, it’s a touch up pen 🙂

[@larryborkstrom3580]

It's a shame that a high quailty tool got that way in the first place nice job on bringing back in service

[@misterpatina]

Yes, I had to rescue it :-)

[@ignaciozaragoza1732]

A prueba de óxido si es, pero en lugar de templar esa pieza de metal, más bien perdió temple, por que para templar un metal se necesita que esté caliente al rojo vivo y después sumergirlo en el aceite, pero tú solo lo calentaste levemente y no lo suficiente. De cualquier forma, ahora se ve bien esa herramienta!

[@wolffram1]

Q: Is there a reason that you remove rust before you sandblast? Wouldn't it just be quicker to sandblast the rust off? (just starting out on this tool restoration thing....)

[@silverxiree]

its not hardened just tempered. they are not same thing.btw your colouring job is astonishing

[@misterpatina]

Youre right here, thanks man!

[@JackScurlock]

As always a great video..Now! Where did you get that wonderful small lettering tool. I have to have one for my refurbishing channel...huggs...captjack

[@JackScurlock]

@@misterpatina Thank you.. The name of it will help...huggs...captjack

[@misterpatina]

Oh „fluid Writer pen“ is basically the Name, there are some brands, but the product is mostly the same. Should be around 15$.

[@marcogarofalo6343]

This is nice as an ornamental tool. I say this because the blue colour from heating would suggest a temperature above 340°C and quenching from that temp makes the metal brittle. Please beware if using this as intended.

[@TommyFresh521]

What is the name of that "very cool tool" you used to paint the lettering? I want one!

[@dvstotal]

Nice Chanel 👍 What Oil and grease are you using??

[@misterpatina]

Thanks! The oil for bluing was an engine oil, 10w40 The oil for the anvil was an universal oil for sewing machines The grease is an industrial grease from „nigrin“. Hope I could answer your questions 🙂

[@dvstotal]

@@misterpatina just perfect, have some tools from meine opa, but the are rusty so I look at this video a couple of times. I think there is a good chance to get to use it

[@pham7878]

Great video! Will the rust come back again bro?

[@misterpatina]

Thanks! Guess in a long time it would be possible that it will rost, but till today it doesnt ;-)

[@vadimmarkov5269]

Painting of blue background is easier if you strongly dilute paint - probably twice or triple. Surface tension make it cover the whole recession. Color might be transparent, but it is easy to repeat. This technic strongly depends on paint formula, not always works

[@vadimmarkov5269]

And for white lettering you can take flat piece of wood, wrap it tightly by cloth and soak it by white paint, then stamp letters. This antique recipe was used long ago for embossed car license plates renewing

[@misterpatina]

Hey Vadim! Thank you so much for your hints! I especially like the hint with the wood and the cloth, i think ill use it the next time! Thank you so much!

[@hpeteacher9445]

I have some of my father's wrenchs. They got wet and rusted. I still saved them. How can I restore them without all the extra equipment you have?

[@misterpatina]

Hey Teacher, that’s a good question. I would recommend, lay the tools in white vinegar for a couple of days. After that give them a nice brush with a drill wirebrush or a regular wirebrush. After that, lay them in oil for 12 hours and dry them afterwards. That should be an easy way without (many) tools :)

[@hpeteacher9445]

@@misterpatina Thank you, thank you, thank you! My Dad was a truck driver/mechanic. He had every tool imaginable. When he passed, my brother took what he wanted and left me the rest. I have bought new wrenches, but would mean a lot to restore and use his. 😊

Guys! I am not sure but isn´t hardening the wrench the wrong way?! It will break instead of bending. (Yes i know its a big wrench and you need a lot force to bend/break it)

[@unkjason]

Could have you chromed it, like I’ve seen you nickel plate before?

I’ve never did chrome plating, since it’s a more complicated process than nickel plating.

I have a whole set of "Hazet 450" open ended and "630" ring spanners since the 1960s. Super quality! Nice "restoration", but in my view grossly overdone. This is a run of the mill tool, not a museum piece! The finish you got is not original at all, and there never was any paint on those spanners.
