  • In this video, we take on a task to rebuild a couple of Ratchets for Luke. They were in rough condition, but we brought them back to life. During the process, we learn a good lesson. That sparks a discussion about Tool Abuse. Check out how to avoid Tool Abuse. 🔧🤣❤️

      Glad you liked the rebuilds! It was fun making this video. Thank you for letting us add the "Tool Abuse" portion in it.

      Of course. Had to own up to that one! I'm on my second 1/2 breaker bar though. No cheater pipes though probably time to step it up to a 3/4 and have the right tool for the job!

    Nice job Jesse, Two great Ratches back in use thanks to Jesse's Garage. My first restoration was a Proto a couple years back. it's fun to repair them when there is something really broke on them. Good job.

    Jesse, I knew right away when i saw the damage to the teeth on the anvil that it was cheated bar damage. Luke you definitely have a couple of beautifully restored ratchets.

    Great job on the ratchets.
    That must be grandpa Hoss. My hoss is much younger 😂. I bought a Craftsman 3/4”, made in Taiwan, set on sale in the early eighties. I was never a big fan of the round head ratchet so when it started skipping a lot in the nineties I traded it in for the newer version of yours. Still have it all to this day and still use it occasionally.
    Great video 👍🏼🇺🇸

    Tool abuse is a serious issue in the United States with 9 out 10 people admitting to abusing thier tool atleast once in their lifetime 😂😅 the ratchets turned out great Jesse. I really like the long handled Proto

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  5 дней назад +1

      🤣🤣🤣. Love this comment. The first step is admitting and learning. The second step is a blast, getting out there and finding the right tools for the job. 🤣🤣🤣

    I haven’t made it very far into this video yet but i can already tell you that you’re right about that Proto. The anvil should be on the other side. lol I’ve never seen one switched around like that that’s actually quite interesting that someone did that😂. I have the 1/4” version of that ratchet(4749) and it’s one of my favorite 1/4” ratchets ever made.

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  5 дней назад +1

      I knew it! I don't know why I questioned myself. 🤣. That ¼" is super cool.

    Cool video, ratchet rebuilds are fun to work. I run rebuild kits anytime I don't trust what's left of the teeth. I use my red fiber wheel to soft blend flaking chrome. Doesn't fix it but seems to not make it rough edged to catch a finger or hand... have fixed many ratchet like 1/4 that the teeth get blown out from someone over loading it. That is a learning curve for people to take the time to realize and step up to the next size. If half is not bug enough 3/4 drive baby it should do the job.

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  5 дней назад +1

      That is one thing I don't have, a Fiber wheel. I need to get on the ball and order one. You are right, it's a learning curve for sure. Appreciate you!

    • @bigfootscave445

      @checkthistool I just do things one step at a time. I have a few tools I want for bringing tools back to working order but have not gotten then yet. I will someday but use what I have until then..

    Nice video. I got my sticker yesterday for my toolbox so thank you for that! It will be the first one on my toolbox setup. However, as a Texans fan, I can't give you any love for the hat lol. J/K. On a different note, can you give some details on the blue mat you're working on?

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  4 дня назад +1

      That is awesome! Glad to hear you got the sticker. It's an honor to be the first one of the box! If you get a chance send a pic. I would love to see that. I knew that hat would get some people riled up. 🤣🤣🤣. Maybe that is why I did it! 🤣. On the mat, I love that thing. It is a silicone mat that cleans real easy. It has groves that help things from sliding around. The brand is Rockler. I do some woodworking and got it from the Rockler woodworking store. Thanks for watching and sharing the news about your sticker.

    Maint might be short for maintenance. I work in a steel mill and the ratchets we use are all proto and they look similar to that proto. Except the anvil on your is backwards

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  4 дня назад +1

      I think you are right. This is the second suggestion on what it may stand for. Thanks for your feedback.

    I know I'm guilty of tool abuse. I have killed a few in my time but most of them were budget style tools I've just been able to buy better tools more recently and you notice a big difference

    • @checkthistool
      @checkthistool  5 дней назад

      I think we all start out that way. I know I have done my fair share. 😂😂😂
