You did a great job on that ratchet. I worked as a production machinist for 26 years at Snap-on. I machined ratchets for 19 of those years. The finish work and polishing you did is better than done when first produced as this was more of a utilitarian model of ratchet. We used multi spindle boring machines before getting CNC machines in the early 90s.

The plastic bag idea is great. It is one those ideas that you slap your forehead over. Brilliant an yet so obvious that I never thought about it! Grinding the tip of a few screw drivers so they are thicker at the tip is handy. I keep a few various sized used flat screw drivers around to grind an sand to fit just right. For screws that I don't wish to mess up. Put a wrap or two of colored tape on the handle so you know it has been modified.

Kev, my man, I appreciate both your restoration skills and your planning and editing skills for these videos. I picked up older tool restoration myself (as a part time hobby) about a year ago because it just burns me up to see other ppls tools laying around rusting. I Don't understand it.... and I'm just now running across your videos. So very helpful to be able to refer back to your videos to learn how you did this and that and the way you did. Not only are your quick instructions videos informative, you're saving me valuable time on my end with the guesswork/trial & error. I'm enjoying watching your videos. I'm learning so much. I can only imagine how many total labor hours you had in this snap on. Had to have been a couple days with the soaking. At least for me it would have been. The silent instruction direction that you take in the videos is awesome and refreshing. Nothing worse than watching a video blasting music i don't like and too loud to pay attention to the video. Not to mention all of the "umms"n & "uuhhs" thru too much conversation. Your videos are precise and to the point with nothing extra. Just tool restoration. Period. Boom, just watch and learn! Thank you for putting in the time to put these videos together for us. You rock! ~RC~
