Gas-Powered Hand Drill [DiRestoration]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 ноя 2024
- Jimmy Diresta sent me this tiny gas-powered hand drill made by Ohlsson and Rice for restoration. It was originally used to tap maple trees for syrup and was called the Drillgine. I believe it's from the 60s or 70s.
I decided that I didn't want to do an "as new" restoration and wanted to make the drill look like it was one of his tools that he painted white and used every day.
The drill needed its points cleaned, a new carburetor diaphragm, and a new recoil assembly.
The small 22 cc (video says 2cc) engine produces 0.85HP. The carburetor design, in my opinion, is horrible, as the small carburetor parts have a tendency to move around under the diaphragm, causing damage. I believe one of these parts is damaged beyond repair and a new carburetor is VERY difficult to find. Until I find and replace the carburetor, the drill currently runs with less power and for short periods of time. Mucho sadness.
From what I have read, this is a common problem, and part of the reason these tools were never successful.
I thank Jimmy immensely for sending me this super cool and unique tool. I really appreciate it. I plan on returning the favour...
If someone has the parts I need, I would gladly purchase them off you.

Thank you brother happy to see it come to life!
I want to see you use it, Jimmy! maybe in the new shop?
I enjoyed the spit out of this, but when you painted it Jimmy Diresta White you took it to another level.
awesome
waiting for the vidio of it's machine work's.
So cool you did this for him. I love both your channels. Where did you find that drill anyways? Hopefully on the streets of New York.
I want to thank you so much for providing such excellent content. My RUclips algorithm suggested this channel to me and boy was it dead on! No annoying music, no commentary, subtle humor and therapeutic disassembly and reassembly of vintage and antique tools. Doesn't get any better than that, honestly.
I would recommend to you machinery restorer as well, but he mostly deals with garden machinery like mowers etc
Just started rewatching some of your older videos like this one and I've forgotten how clean that the worlds most flammable workbench started. Keep up the great work.
Wow. Where did we lose our way and go from being Producers of amazing tools like this to being Buyers of whatever passes for a Tool nowadays? 60s or 70s, I was a teen in the 70s. Everything did seem a lot more 'metallic and durable' back in those days. Thanks for doing these videos, Doc. You add years to the life of everyone who views and appreciates what you are doing.
It's a nice restoration but it's easy to see why this concept didn't catch on: it can't be used in a confined space due to CO and the vibrations prevent it from drilling concentric circles (look at the runout when he drills a test piece).
@@tresmondlaw1955 I was like, why htr doing a crap resto, then the drill test showed that was all the effort it was worth. took me a minute to get the joke.
I like the feature of the tiny phenolic carb spacer. Really neat to see the level of design and craftsmanship put into older tools
+Cody Moncrief that's my exact goal on Patreon.
I couldn't believe when I saw this at Jimmy's shop that they actually made something like this. You were the first person that popped into my head, then Jimmy went on to explain he was sending this to you. Great job on this and all the tools/machines you work on!
Neat! I hope to send it back to him. I wish I could have visited his NYC shop before he left.
Hand Tool Rescue i too try to save the oldie but goodies. Nice job
Hand Tool Rescue what ultrasonic cleaner machine did you use ?
I love your videos, but this was a little off. I don't understand why you took the mostly intact yellow paint off, only to paint it white and then make it look like crap.
Thanks! Jimmy Diresta sprayed his power tools white to hinder any free advertising. I wanted to replicate that look for him.
Hand Tool Rescue I understand why he does that on his new power tools, it just doesn't seem right on an antique like this.
Fair enough! I honestly think a nice shiny red would be an awesome colour for this.
Andrew Suderman console yourself with this thought: by "making it look like crap" he's taken one more gas powered drill out of the pristine antiques marketplace. This drives up the value of your own collection of mint condition gas powered drills. If it's over 200 years old fetishizing original paint is a great idea. If it's consumer tools from 40 years ago, not so much.
Seth Bracken it's doesn't matter to me if it is the original paint but what does is him giving it that God awful name and sticker on top of a horrible paint job.
Fantastic job you did restoring that gas-powrred drill. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Great work.
I'll add this to my checklist of what to take when I build my cabin in the woods. This and the gas powered circular saw.
Hell Yeah! Might also need a chainsaw too. And coffee, lots of coffee.
How cool. I’ve never heard of a gas-powered hand drill, and the more I look at this one, the more it seems like a bad idea, but I like the fact that somebody made one, and that I got to see it, if only in a video
Credit to Mustie1 for getting it running properly!
Here Here
I like it a lot, and I LOVE the crossover and the white paint. Keep doing what you love, and stay positive!
it hurt me when he super glued that sticker to it
Both youse guys produce very entertaining and informative vids. I keep a smallish vial of jelousness in my cabinet of curiosities which I add to when finished watching. Sigh. Thanks for sharing your effort and talent. Good on you for sending him a project. Really generous.
I understand you don't want to do an "as new" restoration, but now its completely lost its old-tool look. The yellow was nice.
I love your channel. I have been a collector for a while and it's nice to see someone else preserving the history of the tools that built this country
You are the best and you always make my day thank you for making awesome videos!
No problem and thank you!
Great job getting this old beater back to life. I don't think I'd be grabbing it to do any real work, but it's so cool to see it breathe again.
Any Jimmy Diresta yellow tools have to be repainted white... It took me a few seconds to figure it out. 🙂
Keep up your good work.
Watching mustie1 get this thing running right now and it's awesome to see two of my favorite youtubers collab on something like this.
Nice one. But how come you stopped disassembling everything? No piston/con-rod/crankshaft/head/exhaust/intake cleaning? And that chuck needs something.. is a little wobbly. The arbor is bent, or the jaws are misaligned, or something. And no inspection on the gearbox.. must have some gritty shmoo in there.
This one was more of a quick job, just to get it running. I didn't want to open up the gearbox as I wasn't confident I wouldn't damage the gasket doing that, and they are hard to find! I really want to open it though...
My thought as well, some turd probably dropped it.
...gasket/s...or other hard to find parts.....try my friends at S&G Power Tools in Rancho Cordova, Calif.....2 stroke is all they do......for the last 35 years.....
Is it a weird metal gasket or something? I've only ever been scared of head gaskets. Don't you fabricate when you have discontinued gaskets? Strange rebuild, but you did get it running. I'd have to bin myself into the group that likes your other restorations better, however.
because he didn't keep his d**k in a vice.
I have one of these in my garage, doesn't have a box or manuals...but I think I might make a restore video. I watch all your video's and find them entertaining as well as excellent.
Everything should be powered by a little gas engine.
I want 2 stroke kitchen appliances.
madbrianthepirate I want a 2 stroke powered light switch
Or a 2 stroke powered fork.
Or a 2 stroke penis...
Taylor Robinson y tho? Too much complicated.
Complicated?? If you maintain it ONE PULL IS ALL YOU NEED. Try counting how many it takes you next time..
You've really honed your talent over the last four years. I've mostly watched your newer videos. I was surprised by the this finished product vs the more recent restorations you've done.
I liked everything except for the stencil and over spray.. all the nice work went away :(
Good video though I love all your videos thanks for sharing!!
DOES NOBODY. READ. THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. ANYMORE.
Amazing, you are a true hero rescuing these old machines!!
Great job as always
Thanks!
No, it was a lousy job. Not even close to a restoration, more like a "rustoration" or a resurrection just to see it work for 2 minutes. Then he used his lousy stenciling as an excuse to make it look authentic. It's just bad work.
For some reason this had to be the coolest little invention I had ever seen. I am very jealous of your talent as I was never taught any mechanic skills. Awesome video!
When will we see the finish restoration, now that Mustie1 has it working again?
I always enjoy your videos. I just started watching and have a lot of catching up to do. In addition to your antics making me laugh (which is sorely needed) I'm amazed at your skills!
Sorry mate I don't think this is as good as what you normally do ,
DOES NOBODY. READ. THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. ANYMORE.
I think the same
Too true; the messy overspray ruined it.
love your videos, brings me back to my younger days when i used to disassemble my toys and couldnt put them together again.
13:05 but why ?
Making it look like one of Jimmy's personal tools.
asking the real question here.
Hand Tool Rescue Ah like all his stuff plastered with that eye sore of a name. At least you know his style.
this was made before we had things like good portable batteries for working in remote arias
Shop Dog: Where can you get a battery powered drill that will drill a 1 3/4 inch hole through an 18x18 inch timber. That's what these type of things (not this one obviously) were made for.
I need one of these. I don't have any practical use for one, but this is just too cool.
why did you just not stick with the old yellow paint?
DOES NOBODY. READ. THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. ANYMORE.
I've read some of the comments about this not being up to your usual standards, but I also read the description first. While it may not be your "norm" it achieved exactly the look you were going for, and in the end that is what matters most. Excellent job!! You keep doing what you do and we will GLADLY keep watching you do it.
It looked better before the "restoration"
Joe Mendez read the video description
Ratpoutine we did. Still looks like crap
The main thing is / was to get this old gas powered drill back working. That was accomplished - matters Not what it looks like but how it works in the end is how I see it. Great Job and surprised to see Diresta had sent something to be restored. I Like it!. Great job and Horrible [great] job on the paint.
u should of cleaned that everspray at least on the handle lol
Nice job. I got everything you did. Awesome. Love your work.
I think you overdid The Rustic look lol
Haha. Oh I can make it much worse. I've thought about doing a video where I make something new look super old and rusty.
That's an excellent idea
Hand Tool Rescue
You should do that
Even better, you should do a "guide" of how to restorate/rescue antique hand tools!
With your abilities you should have no problem you just got to do it but leave the character in it
Nice job on getting this running again. I really like how you made it look like a daily used tool on the job site.
I think it is great you fixed this nice tool, but the finish you decided on was not an improvement. I am confused by your choices. Sad to say that the ending with the black paint was just plain sloppy.
Read the description
I actually really like the addition of the dirty "been used" look on the paint. It gives it more character.
Makes me wonder if Jimmy Diresta has a Jimmy Diresta tattoos on his various body parts
I know I do...
Tattoos? They’re birthmarks.
Awesome, I've been waiting for this one ever since Jimmy mentioned that he was sending it you Hand Tool Rescue to get restored! There's nothing quite like bringing an old tool or engine back to life... Really great work! thanks for sharing!
Motor stops on idle, looks like it has hardly any power to drill like 3 or 5 mm hole in dead tree carcass and the chuck had a bad case of wibble wobbles, it looks like the tool needs more work than cleaning it and repainting
Yeah, didn't look like it ran too good in any of the few second long clips he showed us. Also, that engine isn't 2cc more likely 22cc.
funny how nobody reads the description
I just bought one of these on ebay after seeing this video, thanks for bringing it's existance to light for me!!
They are crazy! haha
1:15 Jimmy included a stencil 😂😂
Que increíble amigos, nunca había visto un taladro de gasolina. Saludos desde México.
Awesome job on making the paint look worn. When you were putting on the gas tank I was like "ah that sucks the paint wasn't cured and he scraped it up" but then I was like "wait a minute. This dude usually has a plan." Great homage to the Diresta tool Anti-Branding.
Thanks! I'm just glad the gas-resistant paint underneath actually baked on properly.
It's awesome that there's someone out there doing things like this and taking the time to share it. I think it's a bit of a bummer (but unsurprising) that there are so many complaints. Such is life on RUclips, I suppose. I enjoyed this (and other videos of yours) quite a bit. Thanks :-)
I actually thought this was going to use butane of some sort. The american use of 'gas' is confusing sometimes.
-_ - yes. rule of thumb is that when talking about fuel in a liquid state, we say gas as in gasoline. when we are talking about A GAS, we will say butane, methane, propane, etc.
so in diesel and kerosene as a liquid fuel, where do they sit or are they the ugly duck?
1mouse3 well I say diesel fuel and well kerosene is just kerosene. That's just me though
He's Canadian. It's short for gasoline. I find Europeans calling liquid butane "gas" equally confusing! You can even hear is sloshing around in the can!
shepd3 That's not a very good argument. It is stored as a liquid, and USED as a gas when it reaches atmospheric pressure.
man I'm glad you found something else to fix I've been waiting for you to have something new haven't seen you in a while
Waiting for the custom made parts took longer than expected.
With the rarity of that thing I think I would have done a proper restoration.
DOES NOBODY. READ. THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. ANYMORE.
Yes I have been looking for one sooner or later I will find one I think you did a great job
Name a more iconic duo than jimmy diresta and hand tool rescute, i'll wait.

AvE & thisoldtony
Christian Hilditch pretty good lineup you got on that one
I have been waiting for this video ever since Jimmy mailed it to you and introduced your channel. I'm so glad he did, and you did a FANTASTIC job!
Thank you very much!
Man, you fucked this up.
DOES NOBODY. READ. THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. ANYMORE.
robert booth your obviously a big diresta fanboy. People obviously can't share their thoughts on how this was ruined with you around. Pathetic
Larn Davies your name is Larn ! Now I get it. Your parents hated u so they gave u a fucked up name. Now years later u are a lonely internet troll. I'm sorry bro u never stood a chance in this world.
robert booth lol no it's Scottish. Your clearly an uneducated idiot who is in fact the one acting as a troll. Sad man feeling the need to resort to personal insults as clearly public opinion thinks this diresta crap made an old tool look like crap. You have no argument except to insult people who aren't the typical fan boy who treats these idiots like they are stars which they aren't. Have a great day Robbie boy
Hand Tool Rescue, loved it. For those who didn't, maybe you can get a drill and fix it your way. Again this was awesome.
Like your videos and for the most part. never really had a negative thing to say about anyone of them, but this one (*shaking head*). Really?
Back to the regularly scheduled program next week.
I saw one like this new (in the UK) in my local tractor dealer in 1994. Priced £175.00 and wanted it then. Nice job.
Thanks
How come you did t paint it yellow like it was
Rod nock mod shop I'm guessing it's to do with DiRestas Style.
DOES NOBODY. READ. THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. ANYMORE.
Great job! You def *"DIRESTA'ed"* it.
For all the people asking, "Why didn't you leave it yellow?" Jimmy paints all his tools white. This is Jimmy's drill, so it's painted white. (That should explain the *"DIRESTA"* too.)
jimmy is wrong, dont be like jimmy.
That was a neat old tool before the "restoration". A little on the amateur side with the crude mechanic work and wood chisel paint scraping if you ask me. Not sure what the ultrasonic carb cleaning was about since the thing was only about 50% disassembled when it went in whatever that watery lookin bath was. Would like to have saved it myself. Guess that's just my thoughts on it. Kinda wish I hadn't watched now :(

I saw Mustie1 get this running. It's a fascinating tool, shared by many RUclips hands!
It was cool and fun video but stripping the original yellow paint and painting it white was something I would not do.
Another thing was the overspray at end was something I did not like where black paint got on the cap and fuel tank.
Love your vids.save these old tools,before their gone.👍👍
I was a bit sad when you removed the original paint, baffled by the faux aging then totally gutted with the spray job. What the fuck, where's the respect?
People do what they want regardless of your whining, welcome to life.
DOES NOBODY. READ. THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION. ANYMORE.
Yes, I understand and it's bullshit. He "decided" to not do a good job and he really didn't.
John Marston - DO YOU NEED TO COPY PASTE YOUR ALL CAPS BULLSHIT EVERYWHERE? The description says that the idiot wanted to not do a restoration, but try to make it look like some boyfriend idol had owned and used it. Irrespective of the description, this tool is fucked now, and that is a pity.
LukeyHear he couldn't give a shit about peoples opinions. You watch it..he gets views. He gets paid..comments are extra
wonderful job i love both channels yours and jimmy the tool look awesome
This is the first time when I totally do not agree with your restoration.
Why didn't you change grease in the gearbox?
Why did you repainted it?
And why did you remove the original lable and painted this diresta shit?
1. He doesn't need your validation
2. Im sure off camera he oiled it
3. Maybe Jimmy didn't want it repainted.
4. You don't own it, so he can put Diresta on whatever the fuck he wants.
5. Please just leave the internet.
1. I do not need you fucking opinion either.
2. I am sure that you do not know it at all.
3. If he did not want it repainted, why it WAS repainted?
4. If you put something not original on a restored item - this is not a restoration!
5. After you, sucker!
dfgggfg correction, if you replace something with something aftermarket, why wouldn't it be a restoration, if you repair the thing with it, why not? That it isn't original, doesn't mean it ruines the thing.
I meant that the restoration means "to make thing look like it was long ago". If the sculptor, who wants to make a restoration of a old-time statue, like Venus, for example, and adds an Iphone to her hands, and makes her a punk-like girl - this is not a restoration)) The same thing is here - the drill looks not like it was before.

Este pião e ventana destrincha e monta de novo parabéns guri!!!
I thought it said "hand powered gas drill" lol
Well if you want to manually pump gas into the carburetor, then we can make this happen!
Hashida Tackey gas powered hand drill lol.
Great refurbishing job, and a great video. cheers !
I think you ruined the project in the last 3 minutes. Why give it new paint and than make it look used again? And why were you that sloppy at the logo and DIRESTA spray on?

Thanks for allowing Mustie1 to breathe some extra life into this thing!
Welcome!
Why does this dude put his name on everything
Nice touch with over spray, I did the same thing on bicycle frames for a two tone look.
I bet that thing use to really chooch.
Love your videos. Good choice of paint.
Literally destroyed the value of the drill.
description explains all.. he wanted to be unusual for this time :3
You got an ultrasonic cleaner, yay!! Also very nicely done.
Awesome old tool ruined with diresta crap. Disappointed
Here's a pink bandaid.
robert booth carby issues or not that diresta crap ruined it. And dude grow up , it's just sad how people act like diresta is some god. He's not
Awesome video ruined by Larn Davies crap comments. Disappointed.
I agree, seems like I can't go anywhere without the obnoxious diresta branding.
Larn Davies Bravo, what a constructive comment
What a shame they suffered from carb problems . Thats a mighty handy tool . Even with the advent of battery hand drills i can see the advantages of gas .
This was painful to watch...

What a cool little gas engine. Love it!
That fucked it completely at 15:00
That is one neat drill! Awesome DiRestoration as usual! Great work, bravo!
what a fucking mess, you should have left it looking original

+John Marston screw the description, he took a cool-looking tool and intentionally made it look like a piece of shit. Full stop.
Nice, always a pleasure to watch you do your magic to the forgotten tools of the past! Good work
sometimes this guy has no idea how to restore things
From the examples that I've seen... it's not just 'sometimes' :-D
Read the description
He must have been going trough a periode with personal problems while he did this video. Normally he does way better
Seen some your previous stuff absolutely brilliant really therapeutic to watch not to keen on this one 👍
that overspray looks like it was done by a three year old
Great video! And to answer Andrew Suderman a few replies down, I suspect it's because the client requested it - and given who the client is, I suspect this thing isn't going to sit on a shelf - it'll get used.
Hum... liked to see the tool working again, but as many, the sloppy paint job and logo overspray was a hard thing to watch. I know Jimmy paint his new tools white, so nobody would steal them, or at least this is why he started it, but still was awfull to see. At least if the job was well done, i'd say okay this time for special reasons. Would have made the box to match to help forget the ''crime'' :)
He doesn't paint the tools white so nobody would steal them u dumb fuck....lololol. He painted over the brand names of the tools because he wasn't getting any $$$$ from them as SPONSORS!!!!! Oh, sorry Dewalt, if you don't give me $$$ I will paint over your name!!! It's fucking pathetic and cuntish.
Oh it's white so i dont see the logo deuh.... If you followed his video, he told people why he first did it...
Excelente restauracion..!!!
literally made it worse than before... terrible job ther folks.. so bad..
Read the description
I guess the best thing about making a video of the restoration is that you can just review everything to remember how to put it all back together again!
Wow I've never seen something like this. That's so cool! Glad to see it restored. 👍
I can't believe it. I never thought I'd ever see a gas powered drill. Then again, I guess we've always needed cordless drills. I'll stick to my Ryobi one+ tools, but wow. Never thought I'd see this. Now that I'm on this video, I see ads for gas powered drills on Home Depot.
