1891 German ''Weltrekord'' Ratchet Screwdriver - Restoration

  • It was around three months ago when I visited my friend that works at the steel waste. He made an amazing found. He found multible items that were in a very rough condition. They almost had some kind of concrete on them and a lot of heavy rust. This little screwdriver got my attention right away. It was not clearly visible what the function of it was, but I remember that I thought it might be some kind of ratchet mechanism. At home I posted a few pics of it in my Instagram story. It didn't took long for @hand tool rescue to reply, as he has the same screwdriver, just a slightly modern version of it, but similar mechanism. After some research I found some more pics and videos online. The brand is „Weltrekord“ made in Germany and it's called „Hebelschraubenzieher“ which meas „lever scredriver“. The model I found was the first ever designed one from 1891. Weltrekord later made some small changes on the design. Newer ones have a small collet to clamp the insert bits and even newer ones came with plastic handles instead of wood.
    At first I thought this will be a quick straight forward restoration project. It turned out to be a very tricky one. The most difficult part was definitely the disassembly, it took me three full days to get it in pieces. Heavy rust has done so much damage to all of the parts. Unfortunately the handle cracked when I removed it. I tried to restore it, but it became a huge mess and I decided to make a new one to have a nice and clean look. There's a 40 minutes version of this video on my Patreon page where I show how I tried to repair the handle. I had to weld up material on a lot of parts and machined and sanded it clean afterwards. That all worked perfectly fine. Some parts have still very slight pitting but overall it turned out very well. For the finish on the steel parts I decided to try nickel plating for the first time and it worked fantastic. I went with a brushed finish and with the nickel coat the parts turned out amazing. I really like the look of the nickel plated parts with the wooden handle.
    I hope you like my work and the video.

    I really appreciate that you showed how hard it was to disassemble this! I feel like some restoration channels stick to "progress" without covering how you have to deal with issues like screw heads stripping, or the handle snapping while you try to wiggle it off.
    I feel very discouraged sometimes, when it seems like channels have zero problems and have a project done, seemingly, in an hour or two. It would be really great to get am estimate at the end of roughly how long it takes to restore an item.

    I had thought no way 🤔then you Blew my mind 🤯made me feel 🫠the patience you demonstrate and the skill and knowledge that you have to not only disassemble these restorations but to completely, utterly restore every facet of the object, down to every spring, screw, ball, cap, every slot, notch, lip, thread… every time you use that tap and die I’m dying with excitement to see you screw the thing back together the drama of this video is amazing I love all your videos but this one with the spring and the ball and the new handle man you’re a master. I respect your abilities. I have been restoring tools for about a year now and to see how you do it is so inspirational. Old tools had so much more functionality than tools of today, the way a tool was built made it possible that if they were used carefully and taken care of they can through multiple lifetimes, and even if they were said to be “beyond repair” or scrap junk a man like yourself could come along and fix it and it will
    Last another dozen lifetimes. A tool like this one is so amazing and useful and just needs to be appreciated I feel good just knowing you have given it a new life and that millions of people have seen the work that you have done. Bravo sir. I am in awe of your craftsmanship.

    Well done, noone would be able to tell this is a 129 yr old screwdriver. Perfect!

    Cracking job done there. If I had the skills and tools to do the same, my house would be full of old tools and items ready to restore, I'd never be bored again.

    This might be my favorite of these projects. First, the starting piece is absolutely destroyed; rusted, bent, and broken. Then there's a great mix of restoration and "I make a new one", which, TBH, is what a lot of us watch this channel for. But I loved that he made a new screw for the one he had to weld out but restored the others. It'd be so easy to play to the crowd and just remake almost everything, at which point it's not really a restoration. The rebending and welding/grinding of the main driver was extremely impressive, I wouldn't have thought it possible to bring that back so well. And the cherry on top is the question of just how this thing works, which is resolved at the end in an immensely satisfying demonstration. Seriously, top marks.

    They should remake this design. A lot better design than most of the currently available ratcheting screw drivers.

      They don't make stuff like they used to

      The materials and work needed to make these mass-produced would make the thing cost $50+. Way more than the $12 or so a common ratchet runs. The "they don't make them like the used to" thing is an artifact of the constant drive to make things cost about what they used to cost, usually by making ever cheaper designs and using poorer materials. Welcome to post-modern capitalism.

      Nothing last forever and time changes everything it's just the way the world is so get used to it we no longer live in a world of wood and steal because Plastic and rubber is the preferred method of the new world and that's just the way it is

    When you screwed on the rotating lever part into the fresh wood I got chills. It’s been 100 years since anyone has seen that tool. Amazing job

      The ball turning technique has been the standard method of making a sphere in a machine shop for 100 years, not as unique as you may tjink.
