Hand Crank Drill

Before Griffin was old enough to use power tools, he used an old fashioned hand crank drill. He used it so much that the paint wore off the gears. Then he didn’t take good care of it, so it rusted stuck and wouldn’t turn any more. Now he prefers the electric drill, but decided to fix up the old one.

Griffin says “First, we bought rust remover from a hardware store. It is water based, which is completely illogical because water causes rust. But it did remove the rust. We soaked the tool in a container of rust remover. It took a while but it really worked. I would definitely recommend the product that we used. After it removed the rust and we rinsed off the rust remover residue, I sprayed it with WD40 to prevent it from rusting again.”
