      Hand Tool Rescue Incredible job buddy.
      I have only recently seen your videos and have to say, I'm super impressed with the content.
      Great job bringing these awesome tools back to their original glory. I'm a machinist myself and would love to have time to do this.
      One thing I did notice in this video, and it may already have been taken care of, but.....you really need a metal working vise. The wood working vise just doesn't cut it. Maybe pick up one that needs attention for one of your restoration projects. Killing two birds with one stone. Anyway, great videos, great content......One of the best channels I have come across on RUclips.
      Best wishes fella, and keep up the fantastic work ☺

    I was thinking “man that looks really good in the matte silver” then you put the shine on it and my heart swept and I thought “No it had to be sold shiny like that, even if it didn’t the old girl wears it well.” I genuinely loved this video, please restore more old equipment like this one. Love watching everything come together!

    That's a beautiful piece of gear, and a fittingly excellent resotration job- you're getting better at this! That said I, I think I would have just kept the old name plate myself, maybe tried to clean it up a bit. Replacing it with vinyl and then stamping into the metal housing just seems a little.. wrong

    Had to use one of these when working for a pool contractor back in the early 80's. The pain in my hands use to wake me up at night when trying to pull up the bed covers. Anti vibration technology has come a long ways since then. Nice to see one of the older ones preserved for posterity. You do great work!

    Another excellent video, love the Kango unchained bit at the end. I used Kangos in the late 1970s and the vibrations were pretty oppressive so not surprised you only ran it for a short time. Looks better than it would have when it was new. Well done.👍👍👍👍

    I've got one of these old breakers and still use it fairly often. Very much a machine that predates safety! I was only thinking earlier today that it would probably benefit from stripping and cleaning all the black icky out of it (the oil filler cap has a habit of vibrating off and falling in the mud) and then youtube serves me up this video 😁

    • @axeami1354
      @axeami1354 7 лет назад +1

      if you wear proper anti vibration gloves they aren't that bad, all vibration tools will do your hands in even modern one if you are careless with how long you use them but thats why in the uk we have health and safety people coming around and putting time limitations on tools.

    • @XMarkxyz
      @XMarkxyz 6 лет назад +9

      I've some doubts on this channel's restoration: something is made very good, but I find other thing very superficial like changing the original metallic label which had its style and more important it was ORIGINAL and also the fact that he doesn't only clean the object but he also sand it, which in my opinion makes the object less characteristic; al work that, for what I know, takes value out of what he has restored.

      Driving on the left has nothing to do with thread types. While this hammer may have used BSW*, BSF* and maybe BA* type threads, I doubt they'd be LH thread, except where vibration or rotation in use, prohibits this (like a dbl. end grinder)- John Doak (Machineco.com)

I have nuts, bolts, furniture legs, drawer runners, piping, brackets, wood, metal and even metal trim all saved against the day i might need it. I have never saved springs though. Today that all changes, from now on they will be kept safely until I can use them once more.
