In this video I restored a ratchet made by 'Snap On' in 1951. I always wanted to have one of these and I was so happy when I found it at the metal waste. I have no idea why someone would throw this away, since it wasn't in a very bad condition. But I mean, good for me :D

While doing research on the tool I found an original repair manual for this ratchet. Here is the link if you like to check it out:

The stamp on the ratchet shows the age. If you google "Snap On Date Codes" you can find pictures of charts which show date codes they use from 1927 till 2029.


The work on the project took about 25 hours (inclusive filming) plus about 18 hours of editing.
