Today I will be restoring an antique ratchet screwdriver found in the family warehouse.
After some research I discovered that the patent number dates back to 1949 by Conrad Baumann.
This 70 years old tool is in fairly good condition, it has only some superficial rust and a beautiful patina which unfortunately I will have to remove.
This project took a lot of patience to clean and polish all the small metal parts.
I also did hot bluing on some parts, but only for an aesthetic reason, to give some contrast.
Giving a new life to vintage tools is always very satisfying and rewarding.
I hope you enjoy the video and I'd like to know what you think about this tool.
