Just thought I'd share

Williams:


I picked this up a couple of weeks back & it was originally painted glosss black...We all know paint isn't a good finish for wrenches & most of it was missing so there was surface rust all over.

It went in the blasting cabinet for glass beading & then came about 15-20 minutes of blowtorch/dip it in some oil/blow torch/dip it in some oil.
Put it on the stove top to cool down, then wiped it off with a soft cloth followed up with some Pledge.

It's for use (in my case) on aircraft undercarts. P51/T6/Stearman etc.

This came from the machine shop whose owner died recently & I think that owing to how his tools were used on vintage WWII aircraft over the years by him that they carry on doing that job with me.
