Hand Tool Rescue Incredible job buddy. I have only recently seen your videos and have to say, I'm super impressed with the content. Great job bringing these awesome tools back to their original glory. I'm a machinist myself and would love to have time to do this. One thing I did notice in this video, and it may already have been taken care of, but.....you really need a metal working vise. The wood working vise just doesn't cut it. Maybe pick up one that needs attention for one of your restoration projects. Killing two birds with one stone. Anyway, great videos, great content......One of the best channels I have come across on KZread. Best wishes fella, and keep up the fantastic work ☺

That's a beautiful piece of gear, and a fittingly excellent resotration job- you're getting better at this! That said I, I think I would have just kept the old name plate myself, maybe tried to clean it up a bit. Replacing it with vinyl and then stamping into the metal housing just seems a little.. wrong

What a relic of British manufacturing. Brings a tear to the eye, sniff, great products. Solid electric connections.

These videos aren't just funny, informative, and entertaining. They're also peaceful, and relaxing.

Dale D Oh it's plenty odd, buddy! You're just not alone... LOL just kiddin 😉

I've got one of these old breakers and still use it fairly often. Very much a machine that predates safety! I was only thinking earlier today that it would probably benefit from stripping and cleaning all the black icky out of it (the oil filler cap has a habit of vibrating off and falling in the mud) and then youtube serves me up this video 😁

Another excellent video, love the Kango unchained bit at the end. I used Kangos in the late 1970s and the vibrations were pretty oppressive so not surprised you only ran it for a short time. Looks better than it would have when it was new. Well done.👍👍👍👍

i am from England and thank you for keeping tools alive great video.

Good job....the old tools have a sense of style in their design. Well worth the effort.

You neglected a perfect, "Stop! It's Hammer Time," opportunity.

Love the video, as ever. I remember using these, great tool. When filling with oil, have the hammer vertical and fill till the oil runs out of the hole, hence the oil fill line.

I've some doubts on this channel's restoration: something is made very good, but I find other thing very superficial like changing the original metallic label which had its style and more important it was ORIGINAL and also the fact that he doesn't only clean the object but he also sand it, which in my opinion makes the object less characteristic; al work that, for what I know, takes value out of what he has restored.

Brings back memories. Hated the things.
