Have watched ToT for years, there's so much depth to the videos with not just the content itself, but the subtle jokes, the editing (e.g. find the subscribe), and the realness of it all. It's one of the few youtube channels worth rewatching every video now and then.

Adam, as a former vintage scooter mechanic, I used a parts washer regularly. One modification we had on our parts washer was and shut-off valve inline with the flow through brush that proved very useful. Not so much for it's on/off functionality, but more for adjusting flow rate. This comes in handy when trying to clean small parts and prevents too much flow from stripping the part out of your already slippery hands. Another tip is to keep a set of cheap nylon/brass/steel bristle brushes in the tank as well. Perhaps with magnets on them to keep them attached to the sides of the tub and off of the work surface. Thanks for making this video. I didn't even know smaller, portable benchtop cleaners were available. I may have to pick one up for my home garage.

@TheReal1953

5 ай бұрын

You are dead-heading the pump that way if you shut the valve completely. If you can't get flow through the pump, it won't cool properly. You probably had a big industrial machine and it might not have affected its pump. In these small, cheaper pump units I think a shut-off inline valve might be problematic. If you didn't fully close the valve, maybe you'd be OK.....but have to be mindful of that.

*Big sheet with STOP on it* Adam: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that. ;)

I particularly like My Mechanics as a tool restore channel! And on the more negative side, The Good of the Land channel made a video a while back, and they did confirm that some channels do pre-rust their tools. I don't know which channels do it, but they are out there.

Funny enough I bought a parts washer from a buddy who stripped out the plastic to metal nozzle connection for a song when he upgraded. I threw it a corner for later and forgot about it. 10 years I find it when sorting through my stuff in the shed. Now I am disassembling a Beaver 3800 jointer (over 70 years old and came apart light a dream) but I need to wash up everything so I can clean and paint it, or just clean it at least and I remember my old parts washer. Unfortunately I cannot find a replacement plastic piece, but my stock pile of 1/2" barb fittings happen to fit and recently saw Adam's video on grease cans that had this washer in it, and low-and-behold he has this video on getting and upgrading it! I've already ordered a spray wand like his and I'll be making the rest of the upgrades as soon as i can. Luckily the pump still works, for now, so I should be be able to run it soon.

So glad you brought it up again Adam always happy to hear your opinion

Adam, your modifications and additions really augment the parts washer . I look forward to the changes you make to the sand blaster you will be buying soon.

I love my parts washer, after the original pump gave up the ghost after 5 years I put in a heavier duty pump and added a filter. I might have to get that brush as well although I use a lot of brass brushes. I also find that letting an item soak in the washer for 30 minutes greatly improves the effectiveness. Love the AvE and this old tony shout outs.

Great mods. I also made my cart just large enough to hold my bucket of solvent/rust dissolver under the washer and i added hooks for my gloves and brushes.

WOOHOO, THIS OLD TONY!!

Used mine while restoring a big old vice, much like Adam mentions doing. Realised I'd left the degreasant in there for a couple of weeks, so went to clean it out. In that time the wooden handle of the brush had completely moulded over. That nozzle brush looks like a much better solution.

I love this old Tony its like the only machining comedy mix channel. I also love blondihacks shes quite a interesting mid level hobby machinist .

Got one like this one at the bike repair shop, super useful, great at cleaning off decades old grease + mud + oil mix from gears and chains etc

As nerdy as I felt when I recognized actors across assorted sci-fi channel shows/movies, I felt just as nerdy knowing the youtube channel shout-outs/references Adam throws out there :) feels good man

I bought a floor standing parts washer that's big enough to put a V8 head in it many years ago. The degreaser I have is not water based and is from an era before anyone cared about cancer and any other ailments so it actually works great. Mine came with a rubber seal for the lid and a heat activated lid support that will close the lid automatically if the degreaser should catch on fire. The only thing I wish it had was some kind of filter system for the fluid. One of my better investments.

NTD! /r/Tools would be proud. The gasket and latch seem like obvious additions that the manufacturer should consider.

4 videos in one. New tool. Tool holder. Tool modification. Tool tip. That's efficiency!

I bought one of those benchtop parts washer and put it a 1000W heater and PID control in it. It works fantastic now and all the parts were less than $100 on amazon.

I need to get one of these for my shop. There are two small modifications I'm surprised I didn't see implemented. The first would be some sort of filter/sock around the pump, to keep bigger debris chunks from being sucked up by the pump. The second would be a small valve on the spray hose, to let you throttle it down a little when you want to.

I was interested in a parts washer, but as soon I saw that Adam enjoyed his, it was a done deal.

I agree that there are restore videos out there that are "iffy" and those are less intense in terms of the process than the legit channels (like my mechanics). You can tell most by the fact that all they really are doing is cleaning and not actually repairing/rebuilding any aspect of the items they find. Doesn't take away from some of the entertainment value but they are definitely less exciting than someone who is actually finding an old busted tool and doing real work to bring it back to life. Can't wait for your vise restoration!

I love those Tool Repair and Restoration videos, but i totally agree some of them are pre-rusting their tools. Hand Tool Rescue is my favorite channel.

i went with the eastwood model which exactly the same. I added two shutoffs to switch from stream to brush. i also added a drain valve and hose so i can drain it without moving it. and i added a magnet to tray so i can better manage bits of metal n just wipe off tray when i find them. i used an eye bolt to support the riser tube with the extra piping weight.

Next mod you are gonna want, a drain valve. Some of those de-greasing chemicals (the good ones) are somewhat flammable. It is always best to drain your parts washer into a sealed bucket when not in use.

Fully agree with nut drivers being worth their weight. In my shop any positive drive options are preferred. Torx and Robertson over Phillips and slotted when possible, nut drivers, ratchet wrenches, or sockets over screwdrivers when possible. I’d still say a well outfitted shop should offer multiple options as different situations will dictate the best drive option. Thanks for another great video and I’d gladly lump myself in that group of people who utilize the resource that is KZread to pick up information on new topics. It’s becoming one of my first stops when I need information.

Thanks.

Well, with rust that looks like that rust, either it's real, and then you have holes through them or it's fake, and has some minor pits on it. Most of those tonka truck channels are fake rust. Take a piece of rusty iron, dip it, and reverse the electric process most use to clean rust off, and you'll get a genuine looking rusted tonka truck, that's rapidly made.

Saved many rusted tools and items with plan ol White Vinegar soak. The chit does magic.

I would also put some of the gasket material on one edge of the grate to keep it from rattling (and a little pull tab to get the grate back out once it's wedged in place).

Great improvement tips there that i'll be adopting, especially the brush station, neat!

I have a warming ultrasonic type cleaner unit. They are often used more for more delicate type stuff, not rugged auto parts or similar. But it seems they would also work well on this stuff. Then again, my ultrasonic cleaner could use the pump and brush setup. Basically, what I am suggesting, is a cool mod scenario where you combine these two types of cleaners into one. Take this one, and add heating of the fluid and ultrasonic capabilities, so you can set a part in to soak and clean itself, then you come around after a bit and hit it with the flowing liquid and brush. Make it so.

Strange you should mention that about "Pre rusting" Adam. I was watching a video earlier where someone pulled a rusty cast iron vice out of a pile of muddy scrap that was outside behind their workshop. It had ivy meandering all over it, but after putting this mass of rust and muck on their bench they proceeded to wind out every bolt and screw without a single problem, Then they slid the movable jaw out BY HAND (Sans marteau !!!) !!!!! I was more than surprised by this as I've had a few vices from the local scrap metal dealer where I've ended up having to get quite creative with drilled lengths of bar stock and chunky bolts to make the sliding jaw eventually come free, even after I'd had a few of them sitting in some pretty potent rust removal solution for over a week !!! I came to the conclusion that some of the restoration projects I've watched were pre stripped/rebuilt (with minimal rust removal), then given a dusting with various matt brown and dark red spray can's to get that "Dredged up from a swamp" look......... Mind you, They're still handy to watch as you get to see how unusual vices (And many other pieces of workshop equipment) are put together. It make's it easier to gauge if something's worth the effort involved to save it when you find one sitting in a pile of broken machinery at the metal recyclers yard. :)

Oil eater is AMAZING!!! Used it for oil spots on my driveway and they completely gone.

I would also add to the arsenal an big ultrasonic cleaner with heating. It's not needed every day, but when is needed it can really make encrusted things and tools squeaky clean.

Great modifications Adam.

I have a parts washer very similar. I bought it at Tractor Supply. In sure it's have in the same factory. I would suggest draining it if you're not going to use it for a while. I left simple green in mine for a few months and it took the paint off the inside of the reservoir. I don't know about oil eater, though.

Sweet! Check the compatibility of the neoprene gasket to the washing solution.

Winter salting of roads gets everywhere, especially tools moved in pickups in the winter. Aids in the finding of extremely rusted tools.
