Cleaning up the rear end of that screwdriver proved that you can be a well rounded restorer. Turned out great. Nice to see the steps and that you did it by hand. Well done!
I enjoyed the steps you took going from the least aggressive method and gradually moving to more aggressive means to clean up the screw driver. It tends to lessen the damage on the screw driver (and ultimately your labor). Thanks for the video.
I have had good luck with denatured alcohol removing permanent marker but never even thought of trying it on paint like that. Another tool for the arsenal. Thanks MagDad. Great job on the lettering.
Love those screwdrivers. I have a full set of the clear yellow ones and they’re the first ones I reach for at my workbench. Nice job. Adam would be proud.
Turned out great, I want to get a set of those Stanley Black & Red handle screwdrivers like all the old timers had when I was a kid. I have the Black & Yellow and the Yellow & Red sets but not even one of the Black & Red.
What great job, MD! As usual, or course. I love these Stanley screwdrivers. I am amazed at your skill and patience to repaint the lettering! I felt it was too bad that you removed the lettering and lo, and behold, you repaint it. Fantastic!
The previous owner did not use it much as the blade tip was nearly new. Maybe he did not like the 3 flute handle design. Nice work in restoring the lettering in yellow. You have plenty of patience.
Wonderfully pleasurable viewing - thanks for posting yet another terrific video, Magdad. I can see why it caught your eye; this is a particularly handsome screwdriver
Nice restoration, came out looking good. They are good screwdrivers. I have a couple of smaller sized Stanley Workmaster screwdrivers, smoke grey handles, that I bought, probably in the late 70's early 80's. And I have a couple of later model ones from the late 80's or 90's that are the same shape handle, but yellow handles.
Very nice work on that Stanley Workmaster 66-208 Screwdriver. I found one medium size Phillips and really like it. Thanks for filling us in on how you filled in the branding on the handle.
That was a very helpful tutorial as I never thought of using denatured alcohol to remove paint on plastic handles. Thanks for sharing this. Chuck's new magnet card looks good too.
So very cool!! I have one that my Dad had since I was a kid; dunno where he got it. I saw something about how they’re becoming special these days (I think you told me!) so it’s in my to-restore toolbox!! How you cleaned up the handle is the info I needed!! Thank you sir!!
I use alcohol for many cleanups in my shop/garage. I also use Goo-Gone as well. However never use Goop-Off (different product) on plastics. It is acetone based and will eat the plastic and ruin it. I learned it the hard way.
I always look forward to your weekly video's, Nice to see Chuck doing his thing. You also did a great job on the workmaster resto Magdad, keep up the good work.
I like that style of screwdriver…excellent cleanup! Nice to know about denatured alcohol…that will be my next weapon..always had a problem with plastic surfaces…good info!
That looked like a lot of work! It sure turned out nice. I like Stanley screwdrivers but with the black handle and yellow stripes. I think they were in cheaper sets. The first screwdrivers I had as kid.
Awesome cleanup job and that’s such a great screwdriver it brings back memories because my father had a couple of those in his toolbox and I would borrow them often when I was a kid I’ll have to see if he still has them 👍
Thanks Magdad, that turned out well, I'm not familiar with this model, but have a good collection of the 5000 series, many of which I had similar issues with strike damage at the butt, my favourites are the 100 plus series though, I wish I'd bought more while they were still available in the UK !
@@357magdad It doesn't look like it - almost all the "sold" ones on eBay UK shipped from the US ! I think there has often been distinct product ranges and pricing between US & UK/European Stanley ranges !
great video like the result I have new Irwin the ones that cost $12 that I have been using they have a soft handle and a hardened magnetic tip. I think Irwin may be phasing them out as they are getting hard to find! Your videos are always instructive and useful!
Nice Job on the Workmaster Screwdriver it just needed a little TLC by Chance did that screwdriver have that awful smelling Screwdriver handle ????? because i have a Workmaster Screwdriver and it has that really bad smelling handle .... Have a great Sunday and it was nice to see Mr Chuck back in the workshop
I used to use Goo Gone, but switched to De-Solv-it which does as good a job without being caustic or smelling like turpentine, in fact it is food safe, because it is mostly Di-Limonene, made from citrus peels. For alcohol I use regular IPA, which is same as denatured without the added poison.
Well Done! You found the secret that Denatured Alcohol will dissolve latex paints. It's great for final cleaning of paint brushes. I also found a bottle of Goo-Gone Paint Remover that may have worked for you, but I like DA better.
My passion is old made in US slip joint knives with scales that have shrunk, dull blades and just plain ugly. Not surprisingly the innards springs, brass liners and blades are still rock solid from American craftsman. I take off the scales and add cherry wood scales that I dry in my garage. When I finish refurbishing a knife, I always feel like I am honoring the craftsmen who originally made the innards.
@@357magdad I am currently working on a Colonial Fishtail. It was an ugly thing when I got it. Horrible brown and yellow plastic scales, false pins and false bolsters. Ripped all that and got down to the liners, blades and spring. Instead of pins, three rivets were used-actually a good idea. I understand why US knife companies scrimped on handmade quality control. In the end it didn't save them.
I remember looking up that model right after Adam made that video and they were all gone off of eBay and I just searched again and see people selling ones like yours was in the beginning for $50+ I like the design of it, but I don’t like it $50 much! I have to wonder if Adam searches for prices of things prior to releasing a rave video on a vintage item and if he collaborates with people who have things to sell, hoping to make a big profit off of his raves. I kind of don’t like that, if that’s the case. But I understand it. To me, it’s kind of like the Wilton Bullet vise. It’s got a ton of gravitas and iconic pedigree as well as years of raves from popular makers on RUclips. But anyone who knows anything about vises will tell you that it’s very good, but certainly not the best of the best. But if Adam did a video about them tomorrow, and we checked today, the sales prices of the ones from today would more than double in a day and only go up from there. As soon as you see it, your heart starts beating fast and you want it. Why? Because Adam said it was so great. We are all too easy to manipulate 😅
Thanks for watching! If denatured alcohol didn't work, I was gonna try Goof Off. If that didn't work I was gonna try paint remover, but only leave it on for three Mississippi's. Final resort would be sanding it off.
Am I watching an actual video of a grown man trying to clean his old screw driver? I heard about the midlife crisis but damn never thought it went THIS deep! You are in my prayers!😢
@@357magdad I get that, but it's perfectly good dirt and ads character to a tool. I know where and when each spalt of paint came from on my Estwing hammer.
I can’t believe this. Don’t you know that standard screwdrivers are designed to slip?? The only good design is a hollow ground. Of course for those are really informed
Oh the memories of Jaime griping Adam out over abusing his shop tools and Adams responding with "Funnels caked with Methyl Ethyl Keytones". Miss that old show. Hey where can I join Chucks fan club?😂

Awesome job, lovely handle shape... Stanley made some great things back in the day.
Thanks ScoutCrafter! Stanley should bring this one back!

Have a set for years, love them. They are the "keep your hands off" set. 🙂
The handle design is a winner!
I enjoyed the steps you took going from the least aggressive method and gradually moving to more aggressive means to clean up the screw driver. It tends to lessen the damage on the screw driver (and ultimately your labor). Thanks for the video.
Thanks Phil! I learned to sneak up on paint stains on plastic the hard way!
Stanley is missing an opportunity not to bring these back. The handles are perfect
I agree Scott! I think they would be a hit!
I have had good luck with denatured alcohol removing permanent marker but never even thought of trying it on paint like that. Another tool for the arsenal. Thanks MagDad. Great job on the lettering.
Thanks Pat! Be careful with the denatured alcohol around wood finishes. It dissolves shellac!
Excellent job, especially on that handle. Plastic can be so problematic. You being so patient was the key.
Thanks Robert!
Did a nice job re-establishing the makers mark. That's the attention to detail we appreciate.
Thanks John! Those letter were tiny!
Love those screwdrivers. I have a full set of the clear yellow ones and they’re the first ones I reach for at my workbench. Nice job. Adam would be proud.
Thanks Gary! I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for the clear yellow version at the sales!
Nice shine on the handle The end sure looks good after sanding it smooth
Thanks! The butt end of the handle came out especially well!
Turned out great, I want to get a set of those Stanley Black & Red handle screwdrivers like all the old timers had when I was a kid. I have the Black & Yellow and the Yellow & Red sets but not even one of the Black & Red.

Thanks Tony! I think it was the designated paint can opener!
Wonderfully pleasurable viewing - thanks for posting yet another terrific video, Magdad. I can see why it caught your eye; this is a particularly handsome screwdriver
Thanks Patrick! The handle design is a classic!
I have a few of these Stanley work masters that I bought as a teen in the 80's while I was working in a mobile home factory
They seem like a quality screwdriver.
Nice result, the lettering was perfect! Those DO feel good in the hand. My SO set has the 3 flute comfort grip handles and I enjoy using them.
I bet Stanley would do well bringing this design back!
Excellent restoration, Magdad. Thanks for the great videos, you inspired me to restore some plastic handles.
Thanks great Chris! I'd love to see photos of your projects! 357mdad@gmail.com

Yes. Goof-off. I learned the hard way too. Although it does a great job on metal, ceramic and glass.
I've had luck with Goof-Off on certain kinds of plastic. I always try a chemical in a small area with a Q-tip first.
The Stanley turned out really nice. Great job.
Thanks Wire!

Good job on the cleanup. Always enjoy the history lesson!

Nice one Magdad! I play the flute; you polish flutes... Musical both ways... 😉
Thanks Mark! MagDaughter played the flute is school for a while!

Nice cleanup!!!!! I've never owned one of those, I love the 100 Plus Stanleys, I buy everyone I happen across.
Thanks Barry! If you find a Workmaster at the sales, give it a try!
That looked like a lot of work! It sure turned out nice. I like Stanley screwdrivers but with the black handle and yellow stripes. I think they were in cheaper sets. The first screwdrivers I had as kid.
Thanks! Painting the lettering was the hardest part!

I like these old style handles.
They are comfortable.
What a great transformation!

Nice work, love the handel. great job. 👍👍
Thank you!
I almost snickered when you said you might not mess with the tip. We all knew better.
I couldn't leave it like that!

Very nice great job looks like new again! You and Chuck always do great work!!
Thanks Mike! Chuck says hi!
Nicely done Magdad! I was wondering why you didn’t use your belt sander on those butt gouges. It turned out great! 😃👍🏼
Thanks David! It's easy to get carried away and remove too much material with the belt sander.
Meguires makes some good stuff Magdad, we use it on our vehicles whenever detailing..
Flitz + PlastX is a good one-two punch for plastic handles!
I have only owned Stanley screwdrivers in the past 60 years. Have used other brands but the Stanley are cheap, comfortable and do the job.
A lot of folks swear by them!
That worked out really well! Great job!
Thanks Bill!

Just wondering when youre going to do the crescent screwdriver you found at the delaware valley show?
JohnFix did a great episode one of those, so I put it on the back burner.
I just see only one issue with this, I want one now too!! Looks Superb.
Keep your eye out for them! They also made a clear yellow version!
Chuck about lost his mind with that two birds crack. You better watch your language around him.
He was mad!
I will take your word about using it but I can surely see how super it looks now.
Thanks John! It is a pretty comfortable design.
