Thanks for checking out this Snap-on jack restoration! I bought this for $120 off of Fb Marketplace. With the jack, parts, paint, and jack oil, I have about $383 or so into this. Was it worth it? I really like the way it turned out. Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching. I do appreciate it! If you haven't seen my Ingersoll Rand 231 Model A restoration, here it is: ruclips.net/video/YPdNFjYANjE/видео.html
I bought the same jack from the dealer for $200 used. It lasted me 39 years before taking a shit. The hydraulic unit was called a "power unit" to the tune of 600 bucks! Went to the local rubber and gasket company and spent $56 for seals and made the nylon pump seal. Works like a charm.
Awesome restoration! I'm a retired mechanic who now restores old farm tractors. There's something about restoring equipment. We live in a disposable society where its easier to throw away and buy new. The trouble is that probably 2/3s of folks would have thrown this jack away and got a new one. This jack is just as good as new and you got the satisfaction of restoring it. Great job!
@@Villivakkamme too. As much as I’d love to have all Festool tools, every time I see the price I think “If I could afford Festool I could afford not to work.”
Your videos gave me the confidence to restore an old abused craftsman radial arm saw from the 80’s and an ancient bench vise that was very well used from a mechanic shop. Both turned out great and work flawlessly.
This dude is stocked with harbor freight tools fixing a snap on jack. I freaking love it. I am a mechanic that fell into snap on and own way to many snap on tools. This goes to show you don't need that junk. It's an expensive name. Good job.
@@Beenthere5409I wish people would stop treating snap on like it’s a holy grail 🤣🤣🤣 you’ll learn eventually , I figure once you’re done paying for your tools 15 years from now . Idiot
I have the same jack. It was shockingly expensive but it’s a workhorse and has never let me down, unless I turned the handle! Lol!! Your jack looks beautiful. Your professionalism showed when you welded the cast ear and you buried it in sand to control its cooling. Excellent job boss!
I can honestly say, I don’t think I have ever started watching a restoration video. Thinking oh it’s just a….. and then just be more and more intrigued and engrossed as it went on, just a brilliant restoration, a great video, and a true set of knowledge and skill. Instant subscribe, cannot wait to watch more.
Oh wow - there are SO many varieties on the Interweb. Tool restorations, toy restorations, furniture restorations, computer restorations, sneaker restorations, etc. etc. etc. You name it, there's a multitude of restoration videos for that thing.
I also have the exact same jack, found mine in a scrap metal pile for $3. Did spend about $200 having a hydraulic machine shop rebuild the cylinder. One mod I had to do was remove the nubs that hold the saddle side supports to the jack body, drilled out to 1/2 inch and replaced with heavy duty bolts. Bought an oem handle brand new on ebay when I found one come up. Thing is an absolute beast, easily lifts my Hondas 2 feet off the ground without sweat. I feel one restored and painted like yours is easily worth a few thousand dollars, as they are true industrial grade and last a very long time. Thank you for the video.
Just found your channel and I love it. I don't have a shop any longer and watching this is as close as I can get to the wonderful feeling of making old things new again with my own hands. God bless!
This is an awesome restoration, I love the fact there’s no soundtrack because you working is the soundtrack. In fact, I fell asleep and took a nap because of watching this video that’s how relaxing and soothing. It was to hear someone do a restoration. I work on bikes for a livingand let me tell you restoring something gives you a lot of satisfaction. It’s just too bad we live in such a disposable society, cause a lot of people would’ve just thrown it away and bought new and I say that if it’s still good, then it could still be you know brought back to life. Some people just don’t wanna put the effort into It.
As someone who is a mechanic and has several Snap-on tools as well as having a grandfather that’s a mechanic who has nothing but Snap-on tools, none of us have had a Snap-on jack, but I will say that jack looks beautiful
Beautiful work. I'll add to the chorus by saying I too have never seen one of these floor jacks restored before. So many pieces & parts. The old workhorse definitely deserved this spa week. 🧡
I'd bet this jack will be around 50 years longer than the Chinese jacks, and still working great. And then it could be rebuilt again! Beautiful job on this!!
Dude for some reason I found this video mesmerizing and I rarely use that term of wording when replying to a video on You Tube . I bet you have at least 50 hours or more into it WOW! GREAT JOB LOVE IT ! Years ago I had and old school Walker American made floor jack I ordered the seal kit but for some reason nothing went right with it I couldn't do the job and I chucked it and went to scrap I cant remember now what it was but something broke when trying to rebuild it . I kick myself in the ass now you cant buy American Made jacks like this anymore
Thanks for the compliment! And probably all of us through stuff away that we should have kept. You will have to look for another used one. I was able to find this particular one on Facebook marketplace. Thanks for reaching out!
This was an amazing video. I wish I could have taken this much care when I repaired jacks when I had my repair shop. I did repairs, you did a complete restoration.
As they say, better than new. I'm amazed at your knowledge of what the numerous plugs, washers etc are called. Obviously a mechanic? I loved the way you took so much care to protect the finish when reassembling. Please, restore that vice that is crying out for a bit of TLC.
Thank you very much and yes the old vise was recently acquired. It works great but looks rough. Maybe a future project! 👍 thanks for the support! I appreciate the comment and the view!
I tried doing this with an old Larin Jack, never worked the same after taking apart and re-assembled with rebuild kit.. I gave up and junked it. This is very cool.
They take some work but they are worth it! Good find and good luck on your restore! If you have questions don’t hesitate to reach out! Have a great week! 👍
One item there was a change to the oil reservoir when you put it on turn it off center of the oil release hole approximately 7 to 10 degrees. When you lower the jack, the oil will or can come out through the vent. I made this change back in approximately 1995 and applied at the factory on the new models. Well done ✅
Wow! That’s a really interesting comment. Did you work for the manufacturer then? These jacks are extremely impressive compared to the run of the mill today stuff.
@@Beenthere5409 not at the factory, but when doing warranty repairs at a store in Portsmouth, Virginia. We were a authorized repair shop. Thanks for your work, and well done 👍
I lived in Kenosha and remember going on a tour of the Snap-On factory as a teen. The tools they made were top of the line, and respected by the men and women that made them. To own a Snap-On truck and sell their tools was a badge of 🎖 honor, back when America produced the best and people took pride in the work they did.
it used to be that way in America . you built a brand over many many years . the great names became world famous for their quality. any company that discounts the workers is not a worthwhile company. the ultimate point of a premium brand is you buy it and never think twice. you do not waste energy comparing and testing - you spend the money and go on with your work. i bought snap-on combo wrenches for my bike repair shop. loved using them all the time.
Fantastic!!! I've never seen such an interesting restoration. Also, makes me appreciate the engineering in these jacks. I have the old harbor freight jack, it's no. Snap-on, I'm sure the complexity is similar. Very very cool!!!
I’m serious when I say this, you do a great job with your videos! Paying attention to details and all. The finished product is outstanding and I would bet not one like it anywhere in the world!
Nice work restoring this jack. You do very, very good work sir. I don't think you have reached "My Mechanic" level perfection yet but that is an extremely high bar that in time you have the skill and patience to achieve if your want to. You are the first "restoration" channel on YT I've seen so far that is even in the same league as "My Mechanic" so trust me, I mean this comment as a compliment so I hope you will take it that way.
Well, using crafsman tools and accessories to restore SnapOn priceless😂 love it that you actually use the tools that you restore,they are not just for show,regards and best wishes from Scotland 🛠️🏴🇬🇧👍
Well done brother-in more ways than one. You did a great job restoring the jack, as well as the editing. It was also nice [for a change] to be able watch a video without having to mute it after 30 sec because of the cussing, the non-stop metal, or the rap "almost music" playing in the background. Again-well done. God bless.
A first class job the video flows really well without too much technical fiddling and some great editing details, on top of that you now have a first class floor jack
Definitely worth the rebuild. You got a bombproof jack for the price of a throwaway jack. I was going to toss my old floor jack rather than rebuild, and am glad I did not. One call to the customer line at HF convinced me: no support for parts. My fixed jack is working great..
These jacks are amazing. I have 3 of them in my shop. There about 20 years old and do need a rebuild occasionally because they do start to leak fluid from over use and exceeding recommended weight limit. One just crapped out recently and will need to be gone through but they do last a lifetime.
Very impressive that you knew how to take that thing apart bit by bit. Even the small pieces. That’s crazy. And remembering how it went back together. Or watching the video on how you took it apart lol. My favorite is the John 3:16 in the back ground. 👏👏🙌
Thank you very much! Yes it is handy to be able to watch the film back if I forget lol Thanks for watching! I appreciate it! And the sign was a gift. Have a great week!
Nice restoration! I liked how you incorporated old vintage Craftsman and SnapOn tools along with some HF. Your vid reminded me of the chisel/punch set that's been in my online cart.
Can I use the the Cold Bluing Solutions to tint my golf clubs? I've been looking into electroplating to restore old clubs, but this looks like a much easier and readily available solution. What do you think?
I have one of these that I bought brand new off the Snap-On truck in ‘95 and i can tell you this one looks amazingly better, especially the grips on the handle. Still have that jack that I use regularly.

It was worth it for me, I enjoyed watching your great restoration
@@tunwellengineering733 thanks! Glad you enjoyed

Awesome. Hopefully this one will live for another 39 years +. And that is quite pricey for a new unit! Thanks for the info! 👍
Aren't these supposed to have lifetime warranties? Or is that only hand tools?
@@mathehack1 that’s a good question. I thought every snap on product had a lifetime warranty.

Very true! I appreciate the comment! We have some old tractors (8N) to redo at some point. Thanks for watching!
I agree. I'm a packrat. I have an old Ford 860, 961, and 3 old ford F-100s to restore.
It was already working so I would've bought it just for that honestly
Not to mentioned the quality of things has gotten even worse after 2020. Also amazing to see skilled people work.
Yes some times a thankless task
Beauty. Nicely done. Makes me smile how many of your tools are from Harbor Freight doing the work on this Snap-On jack.
Thank you very much! I’m cheap but they work!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. 👍
I wholeheartedly agree.❤
I had no idea that there were so many parts to that thing! Great job, I'm impressed.
Thank you! It’s interesting how these things are put together and how they work! Takes a lot of moving parts!

Unfortunately I can’t get them done once a week. I am working on one now and hope to have it out ASAP! Thanks for the support!
Amazing job .

Thank you very much!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your amazing rebuild with such patients and Snap-on as well... Eccl 2:24.
Thank you very much! Have a great day!
Wow. So glad I watched the whole thing. How awesome. I watched the IR Air Impact Wrench last night and it was also an awesome video!
Thanks for all of the support! I appreciate it!
Beautiful job, now I can fix mine. Thanks for the film.
Thanks for watching! I hope the video helps and if you have any questions feel free to reach out! 👍
Beautiful Job... Loved the video. No annoying music.
Glad you enjoyed!
That was magic. The work of a true craftsman
Thank you very much!
You da man I had that same jack thru it away. well done
Thank you! Next time don’t throw it away! I’ll take it lol 😂 👍👍
looks so good, almost afraid to get it dirty
Lol I know what you are saying 😂
Can I use the the Cold Bluing Solutions to tint my golf clubs? I've been looking into electroplating to restore old clubs, but this looks like a much easier and readily available solution. What do you think?
I have never tried to blue a golf club but you could grab a cheap used one and try it. It would be neat if it worked👍
Better than a brand new one. Great job. 👍
Thanks much! 👍
I have one of these that I bought brand new off the Snap-On truck in ‘95 and i can tell you this one looks amazingly better, especially the grips on the handle. Still have that jack that I use regularly.
