Pincers Restoration [Very Rusty Restoration]

I used many different techniques to restore an old pincers. In this restoration video I will file, use rust remover, drill, cut threads, cold bluing, use powder coating and use thread lock. I found this old tool in my barn and thought: "That would be great to restore this very rusty handtool" - Now the time has come!

▬ What did I do ?! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The pincers were so rusted that they couldn't be opened normally, so I used rust remover and a hammer, which unfortunately didn't work. The continued use of rust remover didn't help either, so I decided to saw off the bolt. Finally, with a pin punch, I completed the disassembly. I processed the contact surfaces, cutting edge and unevenness with the file. After masking the surfaces, I heated the components of the old rusted pincers to 200 ° C / 392 ° F and dusted them with powder paint. That color melted on the hot metal. I drilled a hole in the bolt and cut a thread into it and cold bluing. I made a small screw on a lathe and finished it in the restoration video. After applying grease, I was able to assemble everything and glue in the self-made screw with screw lock.

▬ Good to know ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

I used the following tools: hammer, rust remover, screwdriver, wire brush, file, vise, pliers, sandpaper, tape, key file, drill, thread cutter, cordless screwdriver, cutting oil, quick bluing, brush, oven, powder coating, knife, grease, thread lock

It took me about 9 hours to restore, without the paint drying time.
