When I look at it I feel the history and the life of the tool in its prime. Men who are long dead, working hard with this tool to provide for their family. I love that you brought it back for us to see.
Thank you!
That's hilarious. I found a pair of lineman pliers in similar condition and made a video about it. I was too embarrassed to post it, however. They were just too far gone. Sometimes it's worth a shot just for the entertainment value. Great video.
Kinda what I was thinking👍
Its a tank wrench used to change tank cylinders in the cutting and welding industry and to change cutting torch tips and so on. They are a very handy tool to keep around the shop for small air and hydraulic hoses. You did a great job with something ive thrown away countless times.
The guy that gave it to me said he thought it was a tank wrench, so that's cool!
At least it’s not a fake restoration, great job you just got another subscriber. Please stay legit
Always my friend!
First prize for rustiest tool on RUclips. It should be mounted like a deer head on the wall of your shop.
👍
Yess! It was very worth it!
Thank you!
I love that pitted look 👀 with a shine. Awesome Job sir.
Tool jewelry
Glad you like it! I did a similar finish on this axe ruclips.net/video/l8ngW0ca3KY/видео.html and don't forget to see separate video about how I made the handle 😉
@@FixitRestoreit thanks 😊
Nice work as always
Thank you!
very good!!!
Thank you!
Well worth restoring. Thanks for the video. Just found your channel.
Thank you! If you subscribed remember to hit the notification bell!
Totally worth it!
👍🏼
Wow! That came out looking very cool! Tool Jewelry- Nice 👍
Thank you Rob!
That turn out great
Thank you Brandon 😎
You’re Welcome
Ha your rite you can tell real rust. Good job on the tank wrench
Thank you!
Great stuff. I used old cleaned up ones I found over the years to make draw handles in my work shop. Everyone loved the idea!!
Awesome 👍!
Mrs Magdad and I both think it's a cool piece of art! Way nicer than a banana duct taped to the wall!
Thank you! Lol!
#oldtoolbananaart
I think it was worth your time and effort.
Thank you!
Normally I watch your videos completely but this one I hopped and skipped to the end LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Happy NEW YEAR
Happy new year to you 😎
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you, good to see you again!
@@FixitRestoreit You're welcome and here when YT let's me know you have a new one out ;)
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Thank you!
Kind of cool looking!!
Sure is unusual 😉
Bloody brilliant. Love it. Great way to save an old tool.
Has the look of a video game weapon.
Yes it does!
definitely art
👍
The erosion speckled on it makes it look artful. Might as well keep it as a tool decoration for your home.
👍
Considering the shape it is in, I think retirement to a plaque is the best ending that could be hoped for. That is one of the worst cases of acne I've ever seen. Remember Texas is watching.
Rust acne 🥺😁
It should be the trophy for Best Restoration
👍
Definitely yes. Looks like a weapon from Warhammer!
👍😎
Batman wants it. Oh, you know it. It is beautiful. Well done.
👍😎🦇
Looks like it belongs on the cover of a death metal album...
👍
In the beginning I thought why bother? But you turned that into a piece of art. Great work on something most of us would throw in the garbage. 🇦🇺👍
Thank you 😊!
No matter whether you ever use it or even display it ... it was worth saving just because of its story.
I always enjoy wondering about the history of my old tools ... who’d it maybe belong to, who might’ve used it, what kind of projects did they use it on, etc.
Happy New Year!
Happy New year to you!
Hi bro 👋👋👋 very good restoration wrench 🔧 👍👍👍 Happy New year 🎊🎆
Happy new year to you!
It looks like something on display at the city paleontology museum, next to the T-Rex skeleton.
Lol!
Great save and brilliant idea.
Thank you!
It was worth it to see what was under that much rust. That was completely insane.
That's what I initially thought!
Nice bicycle tool.
👍
Great job bringing life back to the metal, also a nice piece of wall art.
Thank you!
This is so cool I like all the pitting and the way you mounted the tool is great.
Thank you!
That’s just cool. Totally worth it
👍
Yep. Definitely worth it. Great art
Thank you 😊!
Great job. I was thinking it would be a cool blade of some kind, love how ya turned it into artwork
Thank you!
It’s a beautiful piece of art!
Thank you!
Good drawer handle or door knocker !
Yep!
From tool to Art.
👍
nice
Thank you 😊
Reminds me of my bicycle tool back in the 60s.
👍
I think it looks great with that texture, I would take a snapshot of the original and shrink it down and put it on the display so people know that anything is possible, and yes it would look great on a desk.
Thank you!
IT WAS WORTH IT!
👍
Such a great job.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you! Good to see you again😎
Looks like a stony iron meteorite cross section.
Yes lol!
It does make a nice display piece, I think.
Better than being in the trash pile for sure
It would make a good Bat'leth for a Klingon Action Man.
If you had one, of course...
Don't have one, but yes it would be cool!
I think it was worth it. It looks like a cool midevil wrench
Yes, kinda 😎
Maybe you could use it as a template to make yourself a new one.
I probably could, dont think it would be worth it though
It looks like a bike spanner/wrench that used to come with a flat-packed bicycle in the 80s/90 to assist in the self assembly of the bicycle, would make a great drawer/door handle in a workshop.
👍
Swiss Cheese wrench - luv the pitting.
Bravissimo!
thank you!
Looks like a fancy door knocker plate to me ! Mount on door and have a striker ( old hammer ) on a hinge hitting it !
Yes it does!
Fix it, I like what you have done here, {BTW it my first time here}. If this was a tool or some object which you wanted to reuse, is there any way to fill in the dents and repear it? Please don't shoot me down, I am not a metal worker/blacksmith or any type of fixer 👷 but I do like watching the videos, and it nice to get a commentary too! LOL
Welcome to the channel! Just about anything can be fixed , it depends if it is worth the time and effort 🤷🏻♂️ for this tool, the edges could be welded then reground, the flat surfaces filled - I don't know if I would trust it from a strength point of view as there is very little original metal left!
could make a new one out of scrap metal like a forging project that really works like it's counter part
Maybe in the future when I get an anvil and forge etc. Although, I could make one out of aluminum foil and it would be stronger lol!
The case when rust did beautifully.
👍
Happy New Year!! Is it art or trash? what do you think?
It’s more art than most of what people call art nowadays
Totally Art! Beautifully Done. 👍
"Art or trash"? I think I'd have to cast my vote for "or". It was trash the moment it was stamped, I'm afraid; you managed to bring it up a notch. Well done! But a part of me is wondering "why"?
@@ShawnBean no other reason than I was asked / challenged to do it
@Fix it Restore it: Fair enough; a better reason than I often have for my own actions, in fact. ;-p
Actually a Chinese tool, lost for 2 months...🤣
Lol 😂 that would be about right lol!
Chineseium is very oxygen absorbent when out of its air tight container.
Leave all Chinese tools in the original packaging, preferably in China.
It looks like ancient weapon now.
It kinda does!
For me there's intrinsic beauty in things that aren't "perfect"...I'm drawn to the pitting of the metal...it gives it texture and tangibleness...the way the screw doesn't quite fit the ratchet aspect of the wrench...yet it's capability of turning is evidential...the pitting also satisfies 2 other interest of mine...pimple popping and trypophobia...Great Job Sir👍
Thank you!
It is still a piece of history saved.
👍
Looks like it came from the depths of the ocean!
Yes it does!
worth it
👍
That tool was trash when it was brand new. Those wrenches are stamped out of mild steel. They are for opening and closing welding gas cylinder valves. They start to strip out on the first time you use them. We threw them away and just used a crescent wrench. I can understand why no one loved that tool.
Definitely mild steel, I was going to put an edge on it, until I realised it wasn't high carbon
Sign it and put it on Ebay. Then pick a charity and start the bidding at $100. Somebody will buy it. Then donate the proceeds. It would make a neat gag gift. Or paperweight
I'm giving it back to the guy that gave it to me 😉
@@FixitRestoreit he will be thrilled!
I'm sorry to say, that multi tool will be useless. All of the sizes will be way off after all the grinding. However, nice display!
And that's why I put it on the stand for the guy 😉
It's a fossil from a dinosaur called fixaurus
Lol!
Looks like one of the 20th. Century bicycle wrenches. The bolt and wood are probably worth more than the price of a new wrench. Worth keeping ? Nah . Good info ? Yeah . Always room to learn .
👍
Art piece. But a very specific kind. It's a tool that looks like jewelry. So, I would call it Toolry. ☺️
That's awesome!!!
Meanwhile as the poser tuber restoration channels are asking, “y u no use fake rust?” We witness a “real challenge” taken head on! Nice piece of art there brother, well done.😉
Thank you 😊!
Old gas meter wrench.
👍🏼
A Plaque for a person who does a lot wrenching
👍
It's a multi purpose bike spanner isn't it? 🤔
No idea 🤷🏻♂️ Maybe a bit thick for that
Tribute to how things were made
👍
An old Ford wrench?
Not sure
Bottle opener, key fob, drawer pull, door knocker.
👍
Looks like an old bicycle wrench.
Yep
dis is tool 40 years old
Maybe
Good job. that was about the only thing it would be good for,
👍
Your wrench had a bad case of small pox 👵🏻
Yes it did 😁
never was a quality tool anyway. That's something they used to give out with bicycles and sometimes small motorcycles, a do it all tool that does nothing well. Was it worth it? I dunno, interesting experiment anyway.
Next time, could you try the electrolysis method of rust removal? I want to see what it really does.
Also, if you reversed the polarity and used another good piece of steel, would it plate the old piece with new steel? I'd be curious to find out. I've been playing around with plating a bit, but haven't tried that yet. it should work in theory, but in practice... don't know. I think you did the best you're gonna do with this one. There is a product that I don't remember the name of that turns some rust into... well it's not metal but a hard surface. I haven't seen it in a while, I don't know if the stuff is still on the market.
When I find an appropriate power source/old battery charge I plan on doing it, and the permatex I used is a rust convertor like your talking about!
@@FixitRestoreit your power source doesn't have to be fancy. a simple DC converter to an old cell phone will work, but better yet might be one of the multi voltage ones. Mine had a deal you could clip into it to get the single leads without hurting the converter. I lost em, but that idea would work. So far with my plating experiments, long and slow (low voltage) works best for most things.
I think that is a multi tool wrench for paint spray guns.
👍
Rusty tool to ancient Klingon weapon.
Yes!
Make new one too damage
No need, it was crap when new
Howdy, I’ll say It’s a happy little accident, a nice heirloom.
Thank you!
@@FixitRestoreit Very nice presentation / conversation piece. This would be great idea item to pass on to other sites as a youtube repair/restore award. Looks like you are the first recipient , pass it on and document it, share with other sites and keep it going.
enjoy all your videos.
Cheers from Canada
@@IR-nq4qv Thank you!
No.
👍
short and quick answer: no
😁
Crikeys.
👍
Girlfriend said it looks like a Batarang
Yes it does !
It was a cheesy design to start with, no loss.........
👍
@@FixitRestoreit Helps keep your restoration skills honed, perhaps learn something that can be applied to other projects....
Sorry. I would have thrown it in the scrap bucket.
👍
I think this project may be a waste of time. Good try though.
👍good to see you again!

Yes, it is trash. Shouldn't have wasted your time on it.
👍
No it wasn't worth it.
👍
Don't need your attitude about other channels.
Not attitude, stating facts
