Antique Reversible Hex Ratchet Restoration | 80 Years Old

Descrizione:

In this video I restore a very old reversible hex ratchet I bought from a flea market. I searched for its history but only found a similar one that is at least 136 years old, so I ask viewers for any information. I begin by disassembling the ratchet, removing rust from all parts with vinegar, cleaning casting marks, priming, and spray‑painting it river blue. I then remove rust from the socket, sand and buff all parts, and finally reassemble the ratchet.
