Great job John! The rivets look really good!

Thanks magdad

John that wrench is just beautiful. Difference before and after is like night and day. That black handle had to go. Has a very industrial look to it. Looks like it will last forever. I can see why you love the Trimo wrenches. Great Job!!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Outstanding job John! What a beautiful wrench it is now... The evaporust works even faster when warm!!! Welcome to the club! LOL

[@johnfix1]

Thanks John. After I saw you caved I thought I should too.

[@thomasmurray3212]

Mr. John: Thank You for this video! I too like the 1903 wrenches. Great lines. Another nice and informative posting.

[@johnfix1]

Thanks Thomas. Love my Trimo.

[@jackthompson2132]

Awesome job on the ice chisel John 👍🏻. I found one of my dads ice chisel with 4 prongs and had to look it up because I didn’t know what it was. Mine didn’t have a wood handle on it either. You have some interesting tool there. I Loved the pliers 😃 Thank You for sharing !

John you did an amazing job on that wrench. The handle looks fantastic! 👍

[@johnfix1]

Thank you Rob. It came from a great collector. Thanks again I had never seen one of these before.

[@alexstools]

Great collection John. Very intresting the history with perfect handle. I find it hard to grasp that most of the perfect handle items are a 100 years old already.

[@rawbacon]

Nice idea with the aluminum rods, now see if you can talk ScoutCrafter into making you a Rivet Doming Tool on his lathe.

[@johnfix1]

That is a great idea. I certainly need one.

[@brentfowler2317]

John brother, heck of a job! The tool looked great! But the peen on those pins, man well done! Just awesome!

Excellent Job Looks better then New Nice Job on the rivets

[@johnfix1]

Thank you Armando.

[@autoadjuster]

I have one of those Wrenches, I found it at my Dad's house. The wooden handle is broken, I have to find time to get some wood and make a new handle, then clean it up and restore it.

[@johnfix1]

Nice find. Good luck with the restoration

[@rickhammar1636]

Nice wrench & a nice Trump collection. As always you didn't disappoint. I would watch your collection closely though, I heard the Harbor Freightors are going after anyone who's making tools great again.

[@johnfix1]

Thanks Rick. I'll keep an out for HF.

[@EVILDR235]

You did a wonderful job on that. My only Trimo is just like that big one at 15.32 in your video. Mine has a pat. date of 12- 19- 11 and is 18 inches long. I use mine, but don't abuse it.

[@johnfix1]

Thank youi Chuck. The fact that you still use it speaks for how great the wrench is.

[@EVILDR235]

@@johnfix1 I use it for bending steel on projects I am working on.

[@Uwannawatch]

the talking wrench😂I probably thought it was funnier than any one else. beautiful restorations. next wrench I find down in the bottom of a dark hole is all you, buddy.

[@johnfix1]

Thanks for your nice comments and Pit Monster loves you too.

[@johnwallis5824]

I just restored a Trimo wrench ( very small) with pat date 1897

[@johnfix1]

Trimo had 6" pipe wrench this style with steel handles with the 1897 patent date.

[@johnwallis5824]

@@johnfix1 yes it is a 6"
