Hello Norherman! Did you happen to notice that somewhere along the way Ridgid changed their paint color from More reddish to more orange? You can see it when I have the two wrenches together... Thanks very much!!!!!

No I didn't. I wonder if the shade change was caused by maybe going to a water base paint. Thanks again.

Nice restoration. That wrench is still in Rigid's lineup. Several of us (diesel engine field service techs) all have them, there's no better tool for use on large fittings in confined spaces. The size range is 1 1/8" to 2 5/8" We routinely use cheater pipes on them and they don't even whimper. Rigid even sells the individual parts for them. Fantastic tool.

That is a great wrench! I have one as use it regularly! Works great for stuff you need a hard grip on without marring the surface. The angle/shape of the jaw makes it feel very natural to use. I assumed it was a more recent model but apparently it's been around for awhile! I actually like the bare metal look on this one; would be cool to see some kind of clear coat on it! Look gorgeous the way you did it as well!

I know what you mean John . I was in to Pyrography (Woodburning) and Calligraphy which is sitting still for long periods of time and making small tedious writting movements for up to 45 minutes to an hour before a little rest .In February , I had a minor stroke that numbed my writting hand/arm , I.am now excersizing and trying to learn to write all over again . I used to hand write all my Christmas cards with a little calligraphy , but now my writting looks no better than a 12 year olds . But when I first tried after the stroke , I could hardly write a check out to pay a bill . it looked like a 7 - 8 year olds . I havn't done pyrography since Christmas & it looks like I'll be typing this years X-mas cards LOL...But I will keep trying those hobbies I Love till I can do them again . You always develope patience , and are willing to suffer pain for the things you love to do though . Keep it up John , and maybe next time you do one of these , you can show us all how yo wipe away the paint to highlight the letters inside the paint . Do you use a q-tip and rubbing alcohol or acetone to rub that paint off ?

Hello Dave! I'm glad that you didn't have all your eggs in one basket so now when you get a temporary setback you can still do something to keep you busy! I feel so bad for people with no hobbies! As for your question "Yes, I fold a piece of paper towel until it becomes stiff then I dip it in thinner to remove the paint from the letters but whatever I miss I take off with a Exacto knife! Dave, I used tone into pyrography also! I taught it to the scouts and they loved it! I did mostly flat work but You have to go to this gentleman's channel and look at the stuff he's doing... I promise you will be humbled! He is awesome and inspiring! His channel is "Stinnett Sticks" Go check him out!!!!

Thank you for letting me know about Stinnett Sticks Channel . I watched just a few of his videos and Subscribed . I always wanted to get in to wood carving , and after doing some pyrography I thought I had almost enough artistic talent to buy some basic tools and start to take on the task till I got a stroke . But now you have given me a new goal . That is a great challenge . Thanks John . I am subscribed to less than 80 or so channels . Now (Next to yours) I have a new favorite . Feel free to share more .

Hey scout just an idea for ya, I know tape is cheap but for not too much chedda you can get you mitts on a fairly substantial amount of liquid masking latex , you brush it on just like pain but it doesnt stick and it works like a mask for areas you dont want painted and a bottle would last you a lifetime on small applications like this and I'm sure it would be a great deal faster . I've used this method a few hundred times now and I gotta say I dont miss all the tedious taping Haha. Keep it up boss loving the videos . God bless

I had one of those I recently sold on ebay in a old tool lot I literally found in the middle of the road, that is where the diamond wrenches came from I mentioned in the previous comment. It was on a busy road on a hill in a 4 way intersection, thats not exactly strait across going N to S, so I believe the bucket of tools fell off of a truck making a quick right turn to go up a steep hill road. I believe one of the wrenches was a "the ridge" maybe it was this e-110 that it said it. infact it was now that im at this part of the video haha! anywho great video again!

Hello Doug!!! That's so funny!!!!!!! True story... I used to drive a NYC Bus, while waiting at a light, a speeding truck whipped a turn and a ratchet fell out of his truck and came to a stop in the middle of the intersection... The truck sped off without knowing and there was myself and two other vehicle drivers that saw what happened... I had a bus full of people but I pulled up the brake, opened the door and I noticed all three of us were running for the wrench! I made it to the wrench a second before the other two and we all laughed... It was a swivel head Snap-On ratchet! I still have it! lol!!!!!

Gotta love those kinds of storys with those great finds! I kinda think if I should of kept them but then I remember that I did repurpose the money on tools that I'll use in my collection. I need to be selective with what I collect and what i'll actually use... Being 29 now (birthday was the 15th) i'm thinking about the future and what I should have in my possessions. So having things and collecting things that I will use in my future whether it may be in my professional or home life, and being realistic about what it is I wanna own or collect is what I think about and consider when making purchases, trades, maybe found, or rarely given something. ..... Is the handle a comfort grip or old style non metal? if so I believe you can get replacement grips for under $20 shipped from their website.

Scout--I bought one of these about five years ago (new), as it had smooth jaws and a wicked working angle. You can get into some pretty tight spots with it that you cannot manage with a standard pipe wrench. I like the smooth jaws, too, as it won't chew up chrome fixtures in the bathroom and elsewhere.

Squirrel Boy- You are so right! The possibilities are endless! I really like Rustoleum because it is very durable! I tried Dupli-color but it dries too fast and chips too easy...

Rust-Oleum oil based enamel paint. In the he non aerosol can is just a great paint. Over the yesrs I have learned how to shoot it out of a cheap harbor freight spray gun and have had great results.using booth a touch up gun (for my tool projects) and a quart spray gun for projects like lacing roofs on old style custom cars. The only really bad thing with the paint is it takes weeks upon weeks before it is fully cured although it is touch dry in So Cals hot sun sometimes in less than hen an hour, (if you stick your nose to any oil based paint and can still smell it even faintly it is still a bit soft and needs longer to dry before you excessively handle it (the furnace drawing trick is a great idea other then in the south west we dont have those style furnaces). I have painted a couple of vintage travel trailers with it and when you add "Velspar enamel paint hardener and gloss enhancement" to it it dries a bit faster and is so hard you can impact it with a hammer and I don't think you can harm it. Anyways as a fellow tool lover great video and I am thoroughly enjoying watching you restore these awesome tools.

Hello Alexander!!!! You are SOOOOOOO right!!! Enamels cure from the inside out and are very durable because of it! Rustoleum is top notch paint and their mix is awesome!

Nice video! I've never seen thin kind of wrench. Do you know when it was made and if this style is still produced?
@ScoutCrafter
@ScoutCrafter 6 жыл бұрын
Hello Manolis!!! Me neither until last month!!! Yes! Rigid still produces this wrench in multiple sizes! If you google Ridgid hex wrenches you will see they make them in different sizes and configurations! However they are a bit pricey! (Quality). Otherwise you can find many of these on eBay! Thanks very much!!! 😃👍

Hello Mason, In all honesty I have multiples of every tool I own, I am a hopeless tool hoarder.. lol Many of these tools are just for show and display but rest assured I do use their un-restored counterparts on a regular basis! When I clean-up the other Ridgid E-110 I will just clean it, repaint it and make it a user, this one I will use to let the Scouts try out tools and try to get them interested in working with their hands! Thanks very Much!!!!!!

ScoutCrafter I'm very much a tool hoarder as well. I'm only 16 but I love too find any kinda tool and give it a second life. I'm really wanting to find unique tools like the rigid E-110 you restored and trying to fix them up myself. Keep up the great work!

have you ever thought of using "Duracoat" to paint your tools? It is like an epoxy paint that wont chip or scratch like other paint.
@ScoutCrafter

Hello OIFEagle! I would be open to different coating as long as I could mix up small batches without too much fuss! Epoxy paint is very durable! I will look it up! Thanks very much!!!!

They actually have some that you can get in a spray can. It's a little expensive, but lasts forever. I usually set aside everything I need to paint in a box until I have enough set aside to paint a whole batch.

Try Krylon self etching primer before painting your tools. The paint won't chip or peel off.
@ScoutCrafter
@ScoutCrafter 6 жыл бұрын
Hello Wire Works, I used to always use Krylon products but there spray valves used to fail after a few uses... That was years ago and maybe they upgraded! I always wanted to try the etching primer, on certain areas that need the extra adhesion! Thanks very much for the tip!!!!

ScoutCrafter I take off all my spray paint tips off when I'm finished with a can that I don't use completely and keep them in a small jar filled with kerosene. Keeps them from clogging up.

With the rustoleum, after I spray I wipe the nozzle off with a q-tip and thinner! Years back the graffiti guys used to steal the tips off the cans in the store!

Hello Bob! When I paint and polish a wrench I use the shellac (Bullseye brand) as a primer... If I am just cleaning the wrench I will use the shellac as a coating on the entire wrench! I like to shellac all surfaces that I will paint... Thanks!!!!!!

ScoutCrafter I’m so excited about your videos. A lot of my tools went under water during the flood in Louisiana including my bench grinder. Time to get a new one and bring my tools back to life. Didn’t think it was possible. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. One more thing. I have that same anvil vise. My husband bought it for me on Valentines.

Thanks for showing us that odd wrench. Great job as always. I guess you can say you paid $8.50 a piece? I suppose if I were a plumber, I'd pay at least $20.00 for one. $8.50 is a steal. BTW, I'm not implying that non-lead dust is ok to breathe nor that you don't know about these, but you can buy lead testers.
