Wonder if you can warranty them?

This is my kind of video. Every man who has tools needs to know how to do this type of maintenance on them.

Nice!👍👍

Yes you did good job

Where do you get your fiber belts from??

Good job ready for work

Nice restoration DJ. It looks great and they definitely have a place in the shop. I have my late fathers Craftsman 3/4 drive ratchet that he used to work on the farm equipment with. The only farm equipment i have is a 1939 Ford 9N butbi ise dads old ratchet to remove axle nuts and does a wonderful job. I was missing 5 of his sockets and couldn't find them at his house but i was looking online and discovered that NAPA auto is discontinuing their Evercraft line of tools and have them heavily discounted. I found the five 3/4 drive sockets and they cost me between $5-$8 each. I've since been back to NAPA and purchased a set of 12 screwdrivers, a 3/8 drive impact screwdriver, a 3/4" drive breaker bar and 2 sets of metric and SAE 3/8 drive crows feet. I don't know if you have a NAPA in your area but it's definitely worth checking out or you can check them out online.

Do you have access to a bench grinder with a wire wheel, and a pan with parts cleaner for jobs like this?

My dad said anything free is worth saving up for ,good job and please don't change

Good clean up! That thing will last longer than you and me! Thanks for sharing!

I clean a lot of files and have found over the years that degreasing then electrolysis tank, wire brush [brass suede leather brush] back into the tank, wire brush again, repeat if crud still coming out then then oil up and store in waxed paper. The trick is to weed out the junk before you buy. Some of the best files have been used for stirring paint or are clogged up solid with aluminum. To shift aluminum, soak in caustic soda and it dissolves out overnight. I have enough for several generations of my family .... ok I just love doing it and I'm a bit of a hoarder !

Not sure about the US but bread loaf wrappers in the UK are often made of waxed paper. I store them with a dash of wd40 then just wrap them up. No problems yet.

Nice work. Try this trick. Cover your hands and the grips with original formula Fast Orange hand cleaner and rub like a fiend for a minute or two. Any filthy old grips will look brand new again. I've tried other hand cleaner but Fast Orange beats them all.

No longer shop Walmart.

Another nice one in the books, DJ! I've recently restored a couple of Ridgid pipe wrenches (in the past year or so...)

explain the 3 in one oil, next video...nice use of the vice, really old tool, to fix an old tool. Nice...!!!!

That was well worth the time. A Ridgid 12" pipe wrench costs between $35-$50. Nicely done DJ

if you get a wrinkle can you use a heat gun or steamer to remove them?

Find some how-to on iron pan seasoning. Should be pretty close. I use linseed when it's just warm and then put it in the oven in cleaning mode, ~500 degrees for an hour. Turn off the oven and let cool . Once cool wipe it down. Those instruction sound like iron seasoning so go for it.

I have a few of these, but the pattern on the one set is beautiful. Looks like Art Deco design….so possibly thirties or earlier , nice clean up 😊

I have a couple pairs of those nippers but rarely use them.

I've been watching your restoration videos for some time now. I fully agree with the idea of buying used tools, cleaning/ restoring them, and putting them to use. Just today, I went to a flea market and bought quality used tools that were rusty, dirty, greasy etc. I spent on average $3 per tool, cleaned them, removed surface rust ( no pitting) lubricated them, into good USA-made working tools.

Good work as always !!! Keep 'em coming.

Open video, like, then guess, "What will he do today? Blue or chrome? heat shrink handles?" I'm going to guess blue, and heat shrink one of them. 😁. Now back to hit play.

Nice video.

One day, you'll wish YOU had a RIGID tool!! (From one of their OLD calendars!!)

You did a nice job cleaning the pliers up. They look real nice all polished up! 👍

Good job and I like what you say my tools my rules ,where do you get the fiber wheels for you're bench grinders ??

They all look great DJ.

Nice video. Lots of work.

Thumbs up for part two!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Excellent job on restoring those abandoned pliers!! 👏🏻 🔝

No need to apologize! That's why they put erasers on pencils cause we all make mistakes! Thanks for sharing!

Hey DJ, how long did you let the bluing sit before you oiled the tool with the 3 in 1? And how would you heat the tool after oiling if you were doing this in the winter? Thanks, DJ

That has to be the worst looking ratchet I have ever seen ( inside ) and its disappointing that is made in the USA. You done a good job cleaning it up and I'm sure it will be a good user ratchet. Nice job DJ😊

Looking forward to seeing how they came out. Thanks DJ

Beautiful restoration DJ and the double shrink tubing is a great idea. Thanks for sharing your expertise 😊

Must be a pt2 coming soon!

What happened DJ no ending ?

Man the video ends abruptly. Will there be a part two?

HELLO. I love tools and i love your videos. HELLO FROM TIJUANA BAJA MX.

They dont have to be sharp to pull shoes off a hoof

Looks almost like my horse shoe puller my

That's a nice old post vise. It looks great. I've always wanted one but they are pricey

Put a thrust washer between the box and static jaw. Should solve your problems on the jaw issue.

Nice DJ. I hope to find a nice leg vice sone day. That stump works perfectly for a stand. Very cool.

A few hurdles but nothing you couldn't handle and you finally got the vise you've been wanting all these years.

Well done, it looks like someone used a cheater on it, the handle looks bent.

lineman's pliers

"U can tell somebody used it as a hammer" ive seen loads of vids with sparkys and their linesmans, why not a plumber with their pipe wrench doh! Im always trying to get people to use their hammer as one not other tools like hand seamers

Thanks for showing us how to remove that clip and where the spring is. Details like that are why I like your channel.
