As good as new! Polish came out great. Im the same way. I have to keep my tools clean at work and at home. Some of the guys I work with have the most unorganized and dirty tools. I’d rather keep the tools I spent hard earned money on clean and longer lasting. Great video.
I just brought 4 old tools back to life and I waxed them also. Just keyboard commandos think they know everything. If you don't add a little extra protection that on you but I prefer to take a little extra time and energy to make them last longer ..
My older brother was a mechanic And he used a lot of different ratchets to do a lot of different things I'm sure Once a month He would take his ratchets Transmission Type FA Half of a quart and a half a quart of mystery oil in a old slow cooker on low for a few hours He told me that it help keep The nasty garbage that can get into ratchet By warming it up Its dissolve into those 2 oils

Tools for me make me money or save me money, why would you not take care of an asset!
Nice job when I can find them I pick up ratchets that I already have so I got spares and rebuild kits when I can find them
I wish they had rebuild kits available for every brand! they are harder & harder to find!
Like you, I also buy these for a few dollars and clean them.
It’s good to get the old stuff working again!

I agree, you can make them last longer, with a little bit of care!

That's not a bad idea, kind of like a sonic cleaner, uses heat and chemicals to break down the gunk, I like it!
Yeah we couldn't afford the sonic cleaner
But the old garage sale was only a buck or two we could afford
Cheap is good
My 1/2” drive missing the ball that’s the oiler craftsman
Is it the ball bearing inside on the spring or the one for the oiler hole!?
Lifetime warranty, take it to Lowe's or ACE and get a new Chinese replacement.
Taiwan
@@branned The modern replacement for that style says China but maybe they also make them in Taiwan, I don't know I can just go by what it says online.
@@rawbacon I go to Lowes pick the one I want and go exchange it.
I am going to try next time I can go to OKC!
@@djstoolrestorations The 180-tooth one is smooth. Gun metal color. When I hand them a made in USA one I do not want a china one.
