Vintage Tecalemit Grease Gun Restoration

[@ekim000]

The build quality on old tools is generally so much better than what's currently available in the budget range that refurbing them is almost always worth the bother.

[@foxwhiskey]

Very great job. .....and sandblasting without smiley is no sandblasting ! 😃😃😃😃😃

[@petepeterson4540]

simple restoration but your skills are higher than it so it really shows of your attention to detail that most miss like the handle.

[@AJRestoration]

Wow, thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it! I love how the handle turned out.

[@andrewgrace4410]

Beautiful restoration and color

[@patjohnson3100]

Beautiful restoration. Old hardened grease can be a chore to remove, not to mention messy. Excellent work.

Nice restoration. I used one of those back in the 70's greasing backhoes and tractors. That back cap unscrews from the main body, by the way. :) You can use grease tubes with it instead of loading the cylinder by hand. :) Pull back the plunger, load the grease tube and screw the cap back on, release the plunger.

[@AJRestoration]

The cap on the back of this one has been spot welded on 4 places in a cross pattern. I thought it should screw loose but it seems to be like that from factory.

Awesome project tools

[@scottcates]

That two-tone, hammered finish powdercoat is the cat's ass! Very nice.

[@AJRestoration]

I love the two-tone hammered powdercoat, It always looks good.

[@BUTCH0120]

Thank you for another great video. Humble suggestion: try tumbling nuts, bolts, and other small hardware in a jar of sandblasting medium. Less labor intensive than wire wheeling them, and safer too. Regards.

[@AJRestoration]

That is a good idea actually, I plan on purchasing a tumbler and a ultrasonic cleaner soon.

[@petepeterson4540]

pre heating tube allows grease to fill voids and decrease the need to burp gun

[@juliesoane7399]

Lovely restoration, they are still made in Plymouth UK but don’t look half as pretty. 😊🇬🇧

[@AJRestoration]

I have to admit, this one came out great. Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it!

[@austinhughes1924]

[@adamweilergurarye5422]

Beautiful, thank you

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

very nice work!

[@RI-ns8wz]

Great one! I have a similar "gun" that was from my father. It works, but....maybe a little "massage" will render It to It's former glory...Thanks for the tutorial!

[@RestorationVideo]

*_Parabéns pelo seu talentoso trabalho _*

[@marciowashingtonmartins3954]

Very good

[@AJRestoration]

Thanks!

[@xaexmaggot]

Great job!!!!

[@carlosquiros9084]

Que tipos de pintura aplicaste. Excelente restauracion

[@JimFinlayson]

Already put to good use, like the oil can and the compressor. Quick question - how long did the restoration take that got compressed to 23min of video?

[@AJRestoration]

This one took about 4 days, working about 7 to 8 hours a day.

[@michelecrown2426]

Who'd have thought the restoration of a grease gun would be so interesting. And this certainly came out better than when it was new. Do you know if the S bend in the nozzle was as manufactured, or was it custom bent?

[@AJRestoration]

I am not sure if it was custom bent, it probably was but I do prefer it like this. Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Excellent.

[@Trotiriderish]

bravo magnifique continué vous faite très fort, félicitation

[@brainswapper]

Good job, the result came out very nice! Had my pleasure, thank you! Dear AJ, please tell me: if it is made in England, why does it use metric-sized nuts (e.g. 21mm but not 13/16 or 27/32)? Are they original?

[@AJRestoration]

I am not sure if these bolts are original, it seems to be the same age and wear as the grease gun. Someone might have swapped them out at some time.

[@reavisstockard2994]

Very nice work 👍

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jamesriordan3494]

Lovely job; hammertone powder coat a very nice touch - how does the wife feel about using oven for this ? I have been scolded for running auto parts through the dishwasher.

[@re-fix9678]

👍👍😘😘

[@quocvlog1272]

Sáng tạo hay 👍🏻

[@ruskgabriel71]

Ficou novinho.....

[@mm9773]

I would have greased some of the connections when putting it together.

[@niklausmerki5947]

nice wie immer .-)

[@chadwedul1787]

Was it broken? Then, why?

[@AJRestoration]

Why not. haha

[@margiobgh8689]

WOW!!!.👏👏👏👏👍🏻🇦🇷

[@AJRestoration]

Thank you so much!

[@rogerpatrongonzalez5800]

👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍

[@adampinior6647]

jest ok.

[@scottcates]

I absolutely love how China has stolen all the great engineering advancements (like this British-made grease gun), then cheapened them down to pot-metal imitations that they sell back to us🥰

[@AyazRestoration]

Great work bro😊 Well done
