Very rusty WW2 wrench restoration. I found this old rusty wrench on a WWII battlefield. The wrench was near the German helmets. I don't know if it's a German wrench. I decided to restore this rusty wrench. I removed the rust, welded the cracks and sanded the surface. I hope you liked my restoration.

Getting that disassembled was impressive. Too bad the thumb nut broke.

Maybe WW1, I’m 90 years old and that configuration was ancient when I was a kid. Crescent Wrench would be WW2.

Mis respetos y reconocimiento para usted, señor!!. Tiempo, dinero y mucho esfuerzo fue invertido en esta pieza; dañada en extremo. Obvio el resultado es sumamente reconfortante y bello y, también me queda claro que será meramente decorativa o de exhibición en algún museo... Ya no es operante (al menos no es segura). Ojalá se lograra duplicar en una pieza 100% nueva y comercializarla en escala decente. Yo la verdad, SI compraría una!!. 😊

love your content, question about the process: at 2:10 why do you use that tool to clean off small sections of rust before doing the electrolysis?

@manuelurdaneta2105 Ай бұрын

To have a good contact between the metal and the wire

AMAZING! When I first saw that I said to myself 'If ReX can get the jaws to open and close I'll take my pants off'. Well, here ya go... I literally took my pants off (and put them back on, naturally.) Possibly your best resto yet. Keep up the good work. Any idea of the maker from that circular mark?

Does the electrolysis process cause the water to boil?

@rcx575 4 ай бұрын

No. It causes bubbles to form at the surface of the metal. The bubbles then dislodge the rust.

I do believe that you should consider other techniques, instead of the electrolysis, wire brushes and cold bluing combination, that you are using every time... A muriatic acid solution for rust removal, followed by abrasive blasting and finally zinc powder coating, would be way more interesting and I believe would produce a very nice result!

@georgejones3526 4 ай бұрын

Well for one thing, for abrasive blasting he’d need a cabinet, air compressor and abrasive media and the space for them. Far easier to use electrolysis and wire brushes.
