Vintage Tool Restoration - Perfect Restoration

Показать описание
This is a very simple hand tool restoration video, but I felt that it needed to be done. I originally bought these pliers at a yard sale for $2. I really didn't need them and in the condition they were in, I definitely over paid! But the marking on them was unique enough that I wanted them for my collection. I've searched high and low but have never been able to identify the markings. Is it the makers mark, or possibly the shop mark? So I've restored them, partially because they need a new life, and partially in hopes that one of the viewers might help identify them!

Check out some of the tools and equipment that I use:

In reading these comments, it's obvious of those that never take care of their tools, and would just go out and BUY another. Plus, there's always the quick (down & dirty) way to clean up a tool, or the RIGHT way of which we have seen done here. The man knows his stuff, a REAL American.

Haters be haters!!!! We all know it's Not about the Work or time spent restoring a piece, rather satifaction knowing the piece will Service one Well for another 50/60/100years ????
Another Importamt aspect is making yourself feel great. If it Trips your Trigger, Kool. If Not find something that does!!!

Everybody here complaining about "to much work and time". Chill out! We get to watch an artist work. So he uses grinders and chemicals-- he's still uses skills artistry and imagination to accomplish this. Just enjoy! Stop complaining!

removing the casting marks isn't restoration, it's finishing the job.

Use the file in a forward stroke only. Pulling it backward quickly shortens the life of your file.

The mark on the pliers look like a Walmart emblem.
