Fabulous job. Those must be the best loved pliers in the world… I’d almost be afraid to use them! Since inheriting my parents’ house I’ve been restoring some of their old tools that have been sat around in a shed unused for decades, totally rusted up. It’s so satisfying, therapeutic even, to channel my love for my parents into restoring implements that they once regularly used. I’m using a basin full of white vinegar (with a cupful of salt) to soak them for several,days, which takes off a lot of the rust, then rinsing, drying and finishing off with hand-held and drill mounted wire brushes. Then a liberal dose of WD40, wipe down, then general purpose lubricating oil for the moving parts, wipe off excess, and final wipe down. Not as comprehensive as this video but the tools are transformed and have a new lease of life. I’m now just wondering how to keep them that way, since they obviously aren’t stainless steel or they wouldn’t have rusted like that in the first place. Probably a drop of oil wiped over them from time to time,and keeping them in a wooden drawer which draws off the moisture in the air, and if necessary I’ll wire brush and oil them again periodically.
Wth? REUSE RESOURCES? Dude no hate but he's freakin using so many resources to restore this thing i mean the resources may be available to him already but they DO COST money(another resource fyi) and he's using so much freakin stuff to restore just a plier which if bought new from a store, would probably cost him half the money or even less and he's wasting so much time on this(another resource mate). Good job.
@@shauryadwivedi2752 I was thinking the same but on the other hand i have a lot of my Grandads old tools which would benefit, store bought tools just ain't the same if you know what i mean
Dear brother, he is not wasting time. He got many tools. He got over Three millions viewers on his channel, so imagine the money he earns plus relaxation of mind.
I dont know what is purpose this video. You didnt specify any of the chemicals, liquid names.we knoe this really awesome technic for restore tools but should explain/describe details. I wish you can add sub title for this video.
I agree. The rubber grip is coming off my favorite pair of channel-locks. I watched this vid hoping for an idea of how to restore them (other than wrapping the handles with electrical tape).
The value of the object is not the point. The point is THE PROCESS. For example, the use of acid to remove rust is something I use all the time. The addition of baking soda never occurred to me. Good video. Useful info. And thank you for taking the time to bring it to ud
Its muriatic acid. But acid corodes metal. Wd40 would have been sufficient. Then sand it and put new rubber holders. Much easier process. Just my own opinion. Thanks.
Nice job, great photography but I would have like to see (or hear) what were the materials for each step eg. Vinegar? Muriatic acid? baking soda or bicarbonate? typeof plastic compound. etc. But the final job, $~50 labor and materials to shine up some Chinese? average dollar store pliers? IS it worth it? Well as illustration, it was! Great videography btw.
@@ButterfatFarms Wow fantastic Info ! I want to know your thoughts on painting tools..Epoxy paint ? Oil paint ?? Clear Coat totally doesn't last ...btw
yeah, had no corrosion at all, also he didn't even have to sand it, he just polished it and wire brushed it which means it rusted very fast. I found this same kind of pliers magnet fishing, and they still had the handles despite being underwater for years. He probably pulled them off :/
Definitivamente, eso se haría por placer.....y es válido...! Gracias...pero faltó la información, así fuera en inglés, sobre los productos utilizados!!! Porque , por lo menos yo, tuve que imaginar qué productos son pero me queda la tarea de investigar.
Emeğinizle,dikkatli sabırlı çalışmanızla güzel iş çıkarıp bizlerede bu keyifi yaşattığınız için teşekkürler.Tüm profesyoneller hariç,biz amatör izleyici ve deneme çalışmaları olanların bilmesi gereken,bu tarz işlere kalkışmadan evvel resterasyon üzerine yapılacak tüm çalışmaların gerçeğinden,ilk halinden,otomasyon üretimlerden çok ama çok daha pahalı,maliyeti yüksek çalışmalar içermektedir.Bu bağlamda sanatsal,zannatkar ustalıklar da işin içine girince adeta tarihi anlamda değerli hale gelmektedir.Hepimiz düz manrtıkla baktığımızda bu işin maddi manevi değerini bir kenara yazalım.Sonra hırdavatçılardan aynı kalitede penseyi alalım.Göreceğiz ki burada ustamızın restersyonu sonucu yeni hale getirdiği pensenin maliyeti satın alınan pensenin çok çok üstünde bir değerde olduğu görülecektir.Şu an izlediğimiz videoya bakışı açımız dar olarak sonuç odaklı olduğu için fazlaca detaya bakılmaz.Dip bilgi olarak düşüncemi söylemek istedim.Ustamız başarılı bir uygulama yapmıştır.Teşekkür ediyoruz.
The joy of spoiling something and rebuilding it in ur own funky way.... great work man...who cares about expenses. It was for viewer satisfaction... objective accomplished.
Well i sure do admire folks that can put such a labor of love into bring back something that has been discarded as junk. I reckon that i will have to stick with that old fashion way of when I need a tool. Where is the closest Home Depot store.
😊 estaba imposible y cubierto de oxido grueso. Se encontra para botarlo y tuvo ia paciencia de recuperarlo y dejarlo como nuev.o,muy buen trabajo.io felicito.
Esse cara sò limpou o alicate , olha o corte dele como estava perfeito...a parte da dobradiça...ai fica facil quero ver restaurar uma ferramenta realmente degradada
One of my metals snips was in pretty much the same condition. Soaked it in vinegar over night and used some lubricant the next day. and it's looks brand new.
