  • In this video, I'm going to restore a rusty old wrench.
    We'll see if it's possible to clean it up and make it look brand new again!
    This gigantic wrench was manufactured by USAG, an Italian company that has been producing hand tools since 1926.
    I contacted the company for information on this wrench and they let me know that it is a model listed in their 1952 catalogs under the name of model no. 294

    What do you think of this wrench? Is it big enough?

    Hey ciao! 😉 Veramente un ottimo restauro. Questa chiave è proprio una bella "bestia". La scritta "acciaio forgiato" mi fa impazzire! 💪

      Grazie, si è proprio un bel pezzo di acciaio. Così se trovo un cannone da restaurare lo posso smontare adesso.

    What a beautiful finished piece 👍 I feel your pain with all that hand sanding. The cold blue really makes that lettering stand out. Very nicely. Well done

      Thank you for your appreciation, sanding is kind of a meditation there is no pain, it just takes a lot of time and patience.
      This wrench isn't as big as yours from Bahco, but it's still a nice piece. 😄
      I'm glad I changed my mind, originally I wanted to paint the shaft.

      @@LTMS yes the blue is a much better idea than painting it. Your correct it is meditating in a strange sort of way. I just found mine was like ground hog day 🤣

      @@Austeration In my youth I worked as a carpenter I had to sand such a number of pieces that now it makes me laugh to tackle a simple task like the wrench sanding. 🙂

      I wanted to test it with a bolt worthy of this wrench but couldn't find one big enough. Thanks for the comment.

    I was wondering you restored what it was originally on.

      Yes, I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a photo of the 1952 catalogue, I just added the bluish to give some contrast and character.
      I published the picture in the community tab, so you can see the original one.
