WWII German Multi tool Hammer, Hatchet, Screwdriver and nail puller

[@chuckjohnson4048]

All I can say to those who would critique what this person did to restore this tool is find one like it and restore it on YT then everyone else can view your finished product and critique it.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Well said 😎👍🏼

[@jsilverssilvers9107]

Like the hatchet and the handle choice was the right one

[@FixitRestoreit]

Thank you 😊

I for one like the scales, the choice of wood is great, the spalting adds to it. Brilliant job, excellent fit up etc. Thumbs up and Subscribed.

Thank you ☺️

[@mikek.3965]

Nice job and nice choice of maple for handles. You have nice choices of woods to choose from.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Thank you ☺️

[@scottrobinson3281]

Fascinating. I inherited one of these hatchets from my father, who bought it in Johannesburg, South Africa during the 50's. It came with an antler handled knife marked "Solingen" in a leather sheath. Must have been intended for camping. This has inspired me to restore both.

[@Pablo668]

Nice work. Not exactly how I would have done it, but nothing wrong with the way you have. Also it is your hatchet, so you can do whatever you want with it really.

[@RockyMountainBear]

Bloody brilliant fitting of those handles, and I love the choice of wood. Well done. Bravo! Those tools are so comfortable in the hands. They feel like an extension of your arm that you never knew you were missing. At least, that's how they feel to me. By far my favorite tool handle.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Thank you 😊

I’m a plasterer. When I was training, I was issued with a very similar tool to this ( called a lath hammer) I used it all the time. My mate, a time served joiner, just couldn’t get used to it. 🔨⚒

[@FixitRestoreit]

Yes, I've done another video on a lath/shingle hammer 😎

we had the same thing in the workshop, but it was younger than 1945. we kids used it to build our tree house.

[@FixitRestoreit]

👍🏼😎

[@robertwillis4061]

Nice job.. the wood grips look very good and realistic, as Mahogany was very scarce in WW2 Germany. As a tool, it is a useful axe for a back packer / stealth camper. Nail puller, screw driver, hammer & axe all in one.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Thank you 😊

Good sir, where have you been hiding? I can't be the only one who enjoys watching your videos and wondering where you've gone off to! I hope all is well in Texas!

[@IR-nq4qv]

No doubt a good job, my preference would be gun blue, less chance of flashing over. Polished bare tools seem to always need a coating of oil on them.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Fair point!

[@debbieperry7917]

I have one just like that. Given to me by my grandmother in 1960

[@FixitRestoreit]

Awesome 😎

[@anthonycaster9319]

Great job on restoring this multi tool. Cool looking scales. Would have liked to see you use a two tone paint scheme to make the tool lettering stand out.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Thank you!

[@salgiordano9937]

Great job! The spalted handles look amazing! I might have zipped off the slotted screwdriver on the end of the handle and rounded it off. I think it looks out of place, but maybe that's just me.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Thank you 😊

[@jacquesb8927]

Like the metal finish but would have chosen the red wood for the handle, only after trying to restore the originals first.

[@FixitRestoreit]

I'll be using the redwood in a future video 😎

I've seen a thousand listings for that type hatchet and most people claim it's WW2 vintage. I'd strongly doubt that. If it were made in Germany during WW2 it would probably not say "Germany" it would say "Deutschland" and/or be marked with a Reich Eagle. I think it's more likely it's a Crate Hatchet from just after the war (1950's) made for export. It's a neat, interesting piece though, and you did a nice job with it. Cheers Mate

[@FixitRestoreit]

Probably so, wish I could find out more information about it

[@brittakriep2938]

I, german, also think, this tool was made after wwll. Not only the ,Germany' , it is also DGM ( Deutsches Gebrauchsmuster/ ,small patent'), in case oft being produced before 1945, there would be DRGM ( Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster).

[@staggdegraaff1531]

I have a real German luger carbine with the original leather satchel from WWII. It was my uncle's and he was in the German army in WWII

[@brittakriep2938]

@@staggdegraaff1531 : Do you mean an ,Artilleriemodel' with 20 cm barrel and an wooden board to be used as stock? Real Karabiner versions of Lugerpistol being really a carbine had been only produced in small numbers before wwl for civilian market, and some experimental pistolcarbines during wwl, before production of MP 18 (I).

[@rb962]

Very nice job and I love the handle!

[@gordon7005]

Fantastic job on those scales I love me a perfect handle but have never attempted new scales. What was that one you used for infilling. Thanks fir an excellent video

[@AnDIY_Handmade_Restoration]

Good job, I restored the same tool, but it was made in the GDR.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Nice

[@gaslandsmechanic4978]

Nice piece

[@FixitRestoreit]

Thank you 😊

[@russg1451]

I'm wondering why almost everyone who restores these perfect handle tools epoxies the scales on instead of doing it the way it was done originally - peened pins. I have only restored one perfect handle screwdriver so far and I couldn't bring myself to epoxy things together. I wanted to do it the original way, so I used brass rod and peened the ends.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Epoxy seals the wood and prevents water damage

[@russg1451]

@@FixitRestoreit But you only epoxy the inside of the scale. Isn't it easy enough to seal the wood without epoxy. I like the fact that if it's done properly (no epoxy), the next person can take it apart easily like we did if they want/need to. I'd hate to be trying to take one apart that had been epoxy'ed together. I'm not trying to put you down here, just stating my opinion. Other opinions will probably differ.

[@bikerdad63]

@@russg1451 I tend to agree with you on all counts. I however would add a couple of things. It didn't seem to me that the original wood was in that bad of condition that it couldn't have been repaired and reused witch in my opinion would be preferable not to mention if you're going to use epoxy don't use so much.

[@BushcraftBBQ]

@@FixitRestoreit so does beeswax, and I far cheaper and much more sustainable produced without adding further pollution to the environment. Like I’m not saying NEVER use epoxy because it’s bad. I just don’t like it when people use it literally for EVERY single project. In my mind it’s a cheat. You’re usually a chemical to make things shiny instantly versus having to put real time effort and elbow grease into adding MULTIPLE coats of wax snd buffing it. A properly sealed handle from beeswax will remain water proof for years. And literally if it ever starts to degrade just give it a good sand and ad some new layers of wax.

[@footplate0]

It was a great job, but as you used epoxy you could have used the original wooden handles glued together.

[@FixitRestoreit]

Good point, but what you couldn't see in the video was that the pins were drilled at an angle and the wood was dimpled on the surface

[@glengrossnickle4985]

I really liked it. The wood was different but I don't like always being the same as everyone. I think it looks good. Never heard of the wood. What kind of Tree? Thanks

[@FixitRestoreit]

Spalted or spalting is where a fungus (the black lines) work their way into a host wood, in this case maple 😎

[@paulorth2251]

Beautiful looking novelty tool, belongs on a shelf. It seems to small to be of practical use, but you sure made it look good. I thought you would do light sanding on the lettering to make them stand out better. Thanks for sharing. 😁👍🇨🇱🇺🇸

A WWII German artifact would never say Germany on it, that is only on items for export to english speaking countries, the Royal Navy prevented any exports 1939-45; these wre made from the mid 1880s onwards tehe clue is the DGM NR 5664-87
