Looks great! I suspected that the used evaporust would contaminate the unused stuff so I never mixed the two either.

[@ballinator]

Thanks! Yeah and you won't know that it's gone bad until the next time you try to use it.

Funny, I was just thinking last night I want to restore a few large pipe wrenchs that i have. I'm told Coke will work as well as evaporust.

I've never tried it myself. Should be enough acidity in there to take the rust off.

That wrench design is a Stillson Wrench. I am somewhat surprised you did not mention that. Given the content of your channel may I suggest a segment on the Walworth Manufacturing company and Stillson. New Stillson wrenches seem to still be available outside North America. I have a nice collection of Stillson wrenches from eight inch to 36. When I needed the 36” wrenches I saw no reason to purchase new when I could purchase used at a fraction the price. I have a 24 or so inch cam type pipe wrench I have never use and I do not believe has a manufacturers name on it. It’s old probably early 20th Century.

Thanks! I'll add Walworth & Stillson to the list. I picked up a used 36" a few years ago. Used it once to straighten out a twisted sign post.
