Welcome to my restoration channel. In this video you see an awesome restoration of a GS71 Snap on ratchet 1/2” drive. I picked this tool up knowing that I would make a restoration video out of it. From rust and patina to a mirror finished ratchet. I hope you enjoy (or enjoyed) the video.

Thanks for watching, I appreciate the view!

THE RESTORATION PROCESS

This restoration is fairly straight forward. I disassembled the ratchet and then put all components into a rust remover (Evapo-rust). After removing from the rust remover, I then cleaned up several of the parts with a wire brush. I filed down the ratchet to remove some of the ware and tear then sanded and sanded and sanded. I got a new buffer from harbor freight and put it to the test. It worked well and helped me to achieve the mirror finish. I used a cold bluing solution to blue some of the parts. After finding the little baring that I sent flying through my shop.....I then put the ratchet back together.

The Snap on ratchet restore turned out great and I plan on keeping it as it is a quality tool.

Please like and comment on the video and let me know what you think. That would be awesome, and it would help me out!
