How To Restore This Amazing Vintage Milwaukee Impact Gun

I'm guessing this is a 1950's or possibly 1960's tool. It's certainly seen it's share of abuse and neglect but I think it deserves a restoration. Let's get busy! #milwaukeetools #toolrestoration #vintagetools #milwaukee #impactgun #toolrepair #tools #powertoolsrepairing #powertool #howto

Ive never seen one before either. Nice job.

Thanks! Yes, who knew these have been around for so long?

[@rightlanehog3151]

I did not realize electric impact guns had been around so long. At least this is an American Milwaukee.

Until I saw this one I had no idea either. Very cool design for changing directions.

Nice job. I had an Impact drill that was made by Ingersoll. Very powerful. I had no use for it so I ended up selling it. The guy who bought it, ended up sending me a video of it being used in his garage, which I’m super happy about.
Nice video. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! I've repaired some old tools for people I know and, I agree. It's great to see them back at work.

Does it have an impact function? Maybe being in Florida it was used on a NASCAR team for pit stops!

[@floridarusticrepairs]

It does have the impact function. I wanted to give the paint more time to settle before putting it to use but I'll show it running in a future video. I'd love to know the history of this. I bet it worked on some amazing cars in it's day.

Safety Glasses! Even though you have a Safety shield you should still wear safety glasses. Things can ricochet off other objects. I know. It's no fun to have to go to the eye doctor to have them take a metal shaving out of your eye. Safety Glasses!

i will take that advice to heart.

5:34 does that mean its wireless now?

[@floridarusticrepairs]

It's time as a cordless tool was brief. :)
