      Great question. You can use this in your search browser. Handler 86RHL-L Resin Splash Hood with Shield, Light on Left. Kinda pricy but it does a nice job containing the compound. That is a pain to clean up without. Hope that helps.

    My Snap-on 71 1/2 inch drive is dated 1935. The selector switch is like a wire/pin style and 5 stamped under it, so im sure it was made in 1935, maybe some day ill restore it, good video! 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

    Beautiful tool. Great job going through the process as well.
    I have a question. What's the best thing to coat my tools with to keep the rust away? Like for my Channel Lock pliers. I love Channel Lock pliers and cutters, but they rust faster when they're than any other tools I have, and I hate rust. Would a certain kind of wax be best? Currently, I use an oil, but it doesn't seem to work for very long. Thank you.

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  26 дней назад

      Thank you very much. Very kind of you to say. As for the Rust, well that is a huge challenge for most people, especially if you use your tools all the time for wet type of work. I am no expert but I use wax that I first apply by hand and then I use a buffing pad, either on a grinder, dremel or die grinder to rub into the pores of the metal. That gives me the best protection especially on my channel lock tools. I know that feeling all to well. From there a good cleaning after every use keeps my tools looking good. Hope that help. Like I said I am no expert but this works for me.

      @checkthistool  26 дней назад

      Thank you very much. I think it was as much work creating the video as it was to actually restore the ratchet. It was fun though. Great question on the tool. After trying several things I finally took half of a flat end tweezers, heated up the tip and bent it over. It actually really works great. It allows me to see where I am and then easily slide the paw into place. Thanks for watching and see you on the next one.

    Would be able to tell the tool's, chemicals and lubes that you use thorough out your cleaning and treatments ?

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  25 дней назад +1

      Yea sore sure. I used Birchwood Super Blu for the cold bluing of the gear, paw and screws. For the lube I use Superlube. The ultrasonic I have tried a variety of cleaner, lately I have been using the Super Heavy Duty Degreaser from Harbor Freight. Tool wise, I used the Klein screwdriver Mod Box kit. I think that does it. Hope that helps.
