Old and Rusty PickAxe Restoration | Hand Tool Restoration

In this restoration video, I am restoring an old and rusty pickaxe.

I got the pickaxe in a bad shape. It was all rusty chipped the handle was broken and bolts stuck. In this video, I was experimenting with a rust remover. I was happily surprised what a layer is left on the metal. Take a look at this hand tool restoration video and let your pickaxe restorations begin.

OLD AND RUSTY PICKAXE RESTORATION | HAND TOOL RESTORATION

I got this pickaxe from a friend and wondered how it would turn out. The tool was rusty definitely not used for a while and overall in a bad shape. My ambition was to revive it again and make it usable.
In the beginning, I used a rust remover solution to remove most of the rust. The solution not only removes rust but also protects the tool using phosphatization and ensures high adhesion of paints. I removed most of the rust with sanding discs and coarse wire wheels. Further cleaning, sanding, and polishing were handled by sanding discs (80, 120) and sandpapers in various grits (40, 80, 120). I painted some of the parts with Hammerite metal spray paint for better protection.

I just can't see why some viewers are doing thumbs down, you are real good at what you're doing.Good luck my friend, God bless.

[federicotarsi]

Nice crack at the end ehehehehhehehehehehe

[billreyna]

Thought it would be done in a mirror finish. It's practical though.

[nealparkinson]

believe you attached it wrong. I'm almost certain, you raise both the L-Brackets to the flair to the bottom of the head. Drive the handle in until tight. Then hammer down the Brackets. Drill the hole, bolt it, then wedge it. It would make for a tighter fit.

Hi bro 👋👋👋 very good restoration pick 👍👍👍🔥💣👌🏽

[lightning]

Overall good job. You need to speed up your opening of showing the product. A lot of wasted time.

[cesarloco]

I think that you are hidding a beautyfull crack in the wood with you thumb finger. You should to do a little hole before to put the nail. Anyway, nice job

[jxavier]

I think that that wedge is kinda useless

[veliborkrstic]

This is not restoration, your tool is still rusty.
