- This is a very simple hand tool restoration video, but I felt that it needed to be done. I originally bought these pliers at a yard sale for $2. I really didn't need them and in the condition they were in, I definitely over paid! But the marking on them was unique enough that I wanted them for my collection. I've searched high and low but have never been able to identify the markings. Is it the makers mark, or possibly the shop mark? So I've restored them, partially because they need a new life, and partially in hopes that one of the viewers might help identify them!

removing the casting marks isn't restoration, it's finishing the job.
nice video.
It baffles me that at 54 years old, CZcams has shown me all this interesting stuff I never knew I liked!
Same.
Me too. I call it going down the rabbit hole. I start off watching 1 thing & before I know it, 2 hours later, I'm watching exploding cysts!!! 🤣
@@sharonwalter1309 LMAO
Everybody here complaining about "to much work and time". Chill out! We get to watch an artist work. So he uses grinders and chemicals-- he's still uses skills artistry and imagination to accomplish this. Just enjoy! Stop complaining!
As a woman, I'd like to say this is better than a bouquet of flowers, any day!! Nicely done!
So. . . if a your hubby gave you a pair of newly restored pliers, he'd get brownie points??
@@johnarmenta2199 Well, my wife knows what I like. No brownie points needed.
@@c.n.4192 Understood. . . . clearly!
That is sweet! I especially liked the handles treatment! Nice job!
I loved the rubber dip on those handles. Very good looking restoration.
It doesn’t work as well as you think it will
How do you remember how it all goes back together? Lol
The last part where everything is organized is so awesome!!
Haters be haters!!!! We all know it's Not about the Work or time spent restoring a piece, rather satifaction knowing the piece will Service one Well for another 50/60/100years ????
Another Importamt aspect is making yourself feel great. If it Trips your Trigger , Kool. If Not find something that does!!!
Unbelievable work .

Nic job, love the dipped handles.
In reading these comments, it's obvious of those that never take care of their tools, and would just go out and BUY another. Plus, there's always the quick (down & dirty) way to clean up a tool, or the RIGHT way of which we have seen done here. The man knows his stuff, a REAL American.
Amazing work man! Especially the way you did the plastic hands
Love watching this stuff. Give so much inspiration for my projects
Bruce Martin First and foremost...Patience!
Just beautiful!
A beautiful tool turned out👍
Great job! Looking forward to another vid.
That is bloody brilliant. 👍
Great idea for the handles 👍🏻
Wow that came out amazing.
looks really nice 😎👍
Brilliant job there bud
Beautiful job!!! brand new Pliers.
Thank you!
What l was thinking!! By the time you figure the products used , plus the few hours it took just buy a new pair. .aybe when l am retired and have nothing to do this could be a project but not enough hours in a day to do this in my opinion.
I like when it finds its home in the wrench drawer. :)
Nothing is better than a neatly organized drawer of tools!
I was surprised you didn't nickle plate them, they look great and nice touch using the plastic grips
The mark on the pliers look like a Walmart emblem.
Lmao it does
Yes, the spark
Matthew Barnhart indeed
Walmart, scamming me out of fake product orders since 1880
Good job my friend!👍
This might be one of the simpler restorations on CZcams, but boy, what a result! I must have watched this about 10 times already. Well done to you Sir. I'm genuinely inspired.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was a nice simple restoration!
this is a "FORD pliers" (ford motor company)
I've got that same blue handled Kobalt set. Nice job.
Good Restoration Done 👍
👏 👏 👏
Something about taking a simple tool and making it better than it was new really appeals to me nice work my friend
Nice restoration
Cool project. Keep up the great work 👍
You know almost ever house has a pair of pliers. Like a hammer, Phillips head or flat head screwdriver. Just the basic tools. But they are the Go To Tools for a lot of people. GREAT JOB DUDE!! GREAT CHANNEL !!!!
Unbelievable job of restoration and retooling.
Great job!!
Nice!
Good job, TRG! I have a pair of pliers that I plasti- dipped the handles on, thirty five years ago and they are still good!
Good to know. Thanks for sharing
Good restore.
Thanks!
Well done!
I swear I have the twin to this pair of pliers they were in my dads tools for years and now continue to serve to tighten the timer trips on my pool pump. They have a browned finish like Brown Bess muskets.
Very nice, good Job, well done.
That was fun.
Nice work.
Nice job, mate.
Nice ready for work
Use the file in a forward stroke only. Pulling it backward quickly shortens the life of your file.
Also an added note for anyone reading Add a protection between the tool and the metal vise clamps to not mark up your project!
@@saberxzero I learned the hard way.
this has been debunked by Fireball Tool
Hi TRG 👋👋👋awesome restoration pliers 👍👍👍💣👌🏽
Nice restoration.
*I just got a bunch of old hand tools. Pliers similar to those, open end wrenches, adjustable wrenches etc. and, they are pretty rusted. Could I just wire wheel them? That was my initial thought when I got them. I don't know much about all the other techniques you used.*
Cool video
Thanks for watching!
Nice job
What was the darkening agent you used? Thanks for the demo.
Turned out great! Too pretty to use.
Thanks!!
Nice man.Brand new again
What oil did you use as a lubricant for sanding? Also what polishing compound did you use on the buffing wheel? Thank you!!
The grips were a nice touch
Sweet!
Thanks!
Nice job! I have a vintage hand drill I'd like to see restored.
really👍👍👍
@@WETVFirst I can send you a pic to see if you've seen one the same or similar before. Not sure of it's age but I think it's been in my family since the 60s.
BigMikefromPA: Ha! Craftsman all until I bought some Delta, Milwaukee, and even DeWalt! I've had my Craftsman table saw since '85 with nary a repair. Btw, I was messing' with you earlier.
I am almost certain I told you about Plasti Dip. First time I actually saw it in action. Woo hoo.
well done
Beautiful job! What did you use to give the bolt that dark patina? 👍🇨🇦
definitely👍👍
Bravo!
A pretty pair of Pliers.
What voltage do you use when you do electrolysis? I use my automotive battery charger at 6 volts when I do it
Nicely done, sir. Did you coat the shiny surfaces for rust protection? Not harder but smarter.
Nice 👍😎👍
There is a youtuber @ScoutCrafter who does alot of tool restorations, he might know what the marking is.
It is a pair of Worth pliers. Worth was a trade mark of PS&W (Peck, Stowe & Wilcox), later known as Pexto.
found a 10 inch pliers in a dirt field once . Pleading to pick me up .
I like it! My only gripe was that you didn't polish up the bolt or nut!
That's a beautiful finish, but how do you prevent the bare steel from rusting again?
The soaked up a good bit of oil while I was sanding them, and with that polished finish they're not as porous and susceptible to rust. So with the same light maintenance you'd give to any other tool, should be rust free for years to come
If you use them regularly, just wipe them off with a clean shop towel. If not, a shot of oil rubbed in, or some tool wax/polish.
God's sake! it looks brand-new!!!
I can’t find the machine that you use with the washing powder on Amazon. I’m interested in doing stuff like this
How long did you leave it in the electic water bath?
I've got and old rusty crescent wrench that could use some love. It would make a great video. I've had it for over 40 years. Interested?
Time to buff the scratches and make the scratches shine!
Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
my family has pliers similar, one pair is toyota brand and the other pair is chevron. I have to get around to giving them similar treatments...
At 4:33 what is the name of that rotary head you use? Is that wire brush? And what do you polish with?
how much current and for how long?
Vlchek standard slip joint 6 1/2” pliers? Hartzell Propeller Inc, Ohio may have contracted the aforementioned tool company to manufacture/personalise them for them? Just a thought!
Yes! That is the Walmart marking!
Why blue the nut and bolt instead of shining them up too?
Did you try sad blasting them?
Not sure about the symbol, but those skeeters look tough.
What's the name of the chemical for darkening the bolt and nut?
What was the black material that the pliers was dipped in?
Plasti-Dip
At first I was like eh those don’t even look horrible but he did make them look very nice
I think i'll be adding a can of plasti-dip to my shelf, I didn't even know that stuff existed lol. but those pliers turned out great.
I have found that a nylon "wire" brush from Harbor Freight is a really quick way to get to the pre-polish stage without electrolysis or grinding. Just a thought.
I have a cabinet sand blaster and just just that.
Where do you get that plastic Dip from ?

I have a pair of pliers that look exactly the same but has the Ford name on them--researched them and found out they were out of a Model T tool kit
S Findlay cool, I recently did a model T jack restoration
Hey man can you try to make a video of restoring a old slot mag wheel, or even just reply with the steps to make it shine would be grateful !! Great videos and good work but I need some talking during the videos it would really help, Thanks keep up the good work
👍great
Wow
Awesome job, yet again. As for the Maker's Mark, in the words of every young dumb Private who went to the Soldier of the Month Board, "Sergeant, I do not know the answer, but I will find out and get back to you". It's definitely not Klein & Sons, though.
