This is How They Drilled Concrete 100 Years Ago

In this video I restored a Belgian Hammer Drill from early 1930s , from the company Rawlplug Mechanical Hammer. Ever since I saw this tool, I've known that a beautiful restoration video will come out because it's a cool tool , you will see. Enjoy the restoration ! About restoration video : The restoration process was quite complex because there were many parts to be restored and that lasted a while. I was glad that the wooden parts did not have wormholes and could be easily restored. I decided to restore all the parts and replaced only 3 parts that really needed change. I left a lot of patina on this tool and I think that after the whole restoration, the tool looks awesome. At the end of the restoration I tested it and this tool did its job for which it was designed. I worked on this restoration video for about a month but it was worth it.
