They Called This Scrap… They Were Wrong

When I first saw this tool, it looked mysterious, heavy, and completely forgotten. A subscriber from Germany sent it to me, and I honestly wondered why someone would spend so much money to ship something that looked like pure junk.

At first glance, this restoration felt almost impossible. Everything was seized, rusted, and unrecognizable. But instead of giving up, I decided to take it step by step.

Slowly, beneath the layers of rust, the tool began to reveal its story. The process wasn’t easy, but in the end, persistence made the difference.

Watch till the end to see the transformation.

If you enjoy antique restoration, old rusty machine restoration, and broken tool restorations, this video is for you.

Felicitaciones por un gran trabajo de restauración, aunque yo no me fiaba de ese gancho claramente está deformado.
Un saludo.

Good restoration but due to the rust on the chain, it definitely can't lift the weight in was originally designed to lift. The block and tackle is a great system to lift/move very heavy items.

I refuse to watch your restorations just to nit-pik your methods. I don't think some of those watching realize that you are restoring exhibits and not actual useable equipment every time. I love these and some day I may just give this a try myself. Very educational.

WHERE do you find all of these rusted and destroyed treasures ? !!!!

@georgepretnick4460 8 months ago

The chain and the hook show signs of being severely overloaded. The safety of that chain come a long has been compromised to the point it shouldn't be used to lift anything close to 3T. Looks OK, but just hang it on the wall and look at it.

Il fermo nel dado orlato? Grasso nelle ruote grandi?

Why is all of your stuff rusty like that? Do you pre-season them?

You do such a good job filming that there really is no need for the irritating jiggling of each cleaned piece for the camera. Ease up on the jiggling, man!

Been watching you for a while I was wondering why you do not let us know what you are soaking your items in

Use one or two many years ago to haul up and temporarily haul and hold heavy over head Electrical Supply lines Mainly to farms small industrial outlets.. most people do not realize the tremendous weight in overhead lines Thank you ..../But now at 84 my days for doing overhead lines is long gone apart from light amateur radio aerials hi Trig
