The Burston Snail Cam wrench is a beautiful piece of vintage toolcraft. This particular adjustable spanner had been in the family for decades and had seen better days. As usual when restoring any antique tool I like to start with the least invasive process possible to give an impression of what we're going to be up against. In this instance the Evaporust didn't have a great deal of effect, even when put in the ultrasonic bath, it did however free off the jaws.The way to adjust the mouth of this particular wrench is to rotate the snail cam, so called because of it's shape, like a snail's shell. Our snail cam had seized in position and needed the application of heat and penetrating oil to eventually free it. Some of the pitting and score marks were so deep that they had to be filed out, something I'm not too keen on doing as it can affect the shape and original nature of the tool, in this case there wasn't much choice but as little was done as was practical. Then came sanding with 120 grit paper followed by 180 and 240, then onto the Axminster AC150BB buffing machine to give a beautiful mirror finish to this vintage tool which was nearly 90 years old.
We hope this practical demonstration of how to repair and restore a vintage tool will help to teach you all the processes involved in a restoration project, help to learn new skills and give you the confidence to practice them yourself.
