Today I will be restoring an ancient adjustable French wrench that is at least hundred years old.
This type of tool is thought to be of French origin, and was produced from the late 1800s until the Second World War and could therefore have more than a century of history.
I really like the design and engineering of this key and have tried to keep all of the original pieces.
It took a lot of work although it looks like a very simple tool, but I'm extremely happy with the result I got, it was definitely worth it.
I had to be a bit ingenious due to the lack of a lathe and a welding machine, but with a little patience I solved the challenges that this magnificent tool made me face.
I hope you will appreciate the efforts I have made for this restoration.
