I came across this little Driver while searching through one of my local Reclamation yards, It was a little rusty but still in working order, I had first thought when I picked it up that the chuck end was the handle given its shape and the other end would hold some type of socket, how wrong was I. It became evident during the clean up that the Name O.S Backus was an inventor during the 1800's and one of his creations was this style chuck which he went on to register his patent in 1872. The other end fitted into a Brace and not a missing Handle as i had originally thought. (Kindly corrected by my viewers) This project was relativley straight forward so I decided to take my time and improve on my previous videos.
Most of the exposed metal work which wasn’t painted had some sort of protection on it but it had failed over the years. I chose to polish this time to give a better appearance against the black paint.If you like this video please consider Subscribing so I can continue to keep making them for you.

This is a hobby for me which I enjoy doing in my spare time. I am not a professional restorer, Painter or fabricator and I know some of my techniques may not be upto the standards of some professionals on here. Having said that if you think you know a better way to complete these works I would be happy to listen, I will learn from each project to bring you not only a nicer finished piece but also a cleaner piece of editing.
Please leave your comments below and ill do my best to reply to them.
Kind Regards Unique Restorations
