Good evening. I got this set from a room full of rusty tools (I posted it previously). I finally finished cleaning it up and lubricating the ratchet (yes, I remember, there was an opinion before that it does not need much, but I think that Superlube made it work a little better)

... And the final result today.
... The box did not clean up as well as I expected. After taking the picture I noticed couple of spots on short extension and clean it up a little more. Unfortunately I forgot to make a picture of internals - came out surprisingly well given the original condition. Couple of small spots without chrome cover on the "teeth" of the pawl, but rust disappeared after Evaporust bath...
Just noticed a spot on the ratchet - it's just a reflection from the hinge bar... (sorry, feeling too lazy to make another picture...)
The bottom of the box did not look that well and I covered it with thin felt I found laying around...


Special THANK YOU to Don (D42JEEP) for image from the catalog!
