I see a lot of people asking what equipment he uses. If you look under the video, you'll see his Avatar and Name and then below that, a short description of the video. Under this short description you'll see the label "SHOW MORE". click on the "SHOW MORE" and you'll see he provided a list of all of the equipment he used.

When things were built to last. I want a sand blaster now btw

11:47 Block print method for the tire lettering! PURE GENIUS!!!

From a rust bucket to SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Unbelievable work. Mike Espo...

I still have a Tonka dump truck that my mom brought me back in the early seventies. It's not rusted like this truck but the grill is beat up a little from my imaginative childhood. It is my oldest possession. Tonka really did build tough trucks. Don't laugh but I always called my truck "Big Trucky". Shoutout to Tonka.

An OUTSTANDING restoration job!!.. Looks better than it did when it left the Tonka Factory!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!

I could feel the smile on that little truck getting restored,beautifully done.

WOW, You literally saved that garbage truck from the garbage... OUTSTANDING !!

Astonishing. I couldn’t believe how well it finished. Like brand new.

I couldn’t believe how well that turned out. Thank you for saving that Tonka Truck and for posting.

God has a special place for people like you, who have the patience and the talent to do projects like this and bring these types of items back to their original beauty and functionality. It's just a shame that so many things now-a-days are built for throw away rather than refurbish. Nice job and nice video.

Had such a garbage truck when I was a little boy, played a lot with all kind of Tonka trucks those days. And, instantly remembering that typical '70s green... Very nice job!

Brings a tear to my eye seeing these old toys restored. Shame they don't make toys like this anymore.

This was SO enjoyable to watch...esp the sand blasting

Thanks for keeping the videos flowing through tough times..

Great job, you save the truck from the trash pile

A very nice restore. A toy is never truly happy until it has been played with by a child.

I really do say "Yaaay" whenever I see rusted metal, because that equals Sandblasting!!

Had this exact color scheme when I was younger. Seeing this brought back some nice memories. Thank you for doing this.

The sandblast's the best part of process... The paint too... And the final assembly.... The whitening... Oh gosh, ALL process is Perfect!

I love the cheering right before the sandblasting lol that's just awesome 😄😁

This is absolutely the best restoration that I've never seen. GOOOOOD WORK!!!!!!!!

I had that exact model as a kid. Thank you for reviving long lost neurons

That retrobrite really does the trick.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ALL OF THE SANDBLASTING!!!!!!!!!

Always were my favorite tonka wheels! I think the cheer for the sand blaster is one of my favorite things about your vids. Another ace job, good stuff

Beautiful work, what baffles me is how he puts everything back together 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This is my generation of Tonka. I still have four pieces of this cab-over design. Luckily mine are in slightly better shape - hard use, but no rust. I cant express enough how much these toys meant to me. They framed my creativity. Great stuff. Keep up the good work!

WOW!!! Love the way you got the wheels, and seat so clean. Love everything about it. Keep on keeping on.

A lot of people claim their project is amazing but in this case I think you’re right. This could go viral, at least it deserves to. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

There are very few things as satisfying as watching something old and rusty go under the media blaster.

Awesome excellent superb outstanding tremendous beautiful jaw dropping eye popping amazing stupendous job you did on that garbage truck keep up the great work

"who ever did this was strong, That's 340 pounds of Tonka tough steel!" Love the job done here! Amazing

*That Color is far out, man ✌️😌* Had be to be from the 70s Excellent restoration! And, it's cool when a sandblaster looks like it's spray painting gray.

My 9yr old actually sat and watched the whole video with me. Well done, sir.

Nice job! I wonder if this toy is worth that much to spend that much time on. I worked as a toy repairman, mostly working on 50's, early 60's Japanese battery op toys. It was the most enjoyable job I ever had... and was blown away by the intricate mechanisms, designed to not only be made as cheaply as possible, but to fully function reliably. In some cases, I had to do modifications to add reliability... a weaker or stronger spring... and sometimes, I I used a stronger spring, I had to alter the structure, change gear ratios.. but it was so satisfying to see these toys restored to full function. My bosses didn't pay me very well, but even then, they'd complain that they were paying me more for my repairs than the toy was worth. I was concered. Being a mom & pop business, I could see their point, but I was determined to get these toys working like new... so much for perfection... Needless to say, they used my services less and less. I miss that job dearly. The others I worked with were so talented. They are tinsmiths with the most incredible skills, with attention to the most minute details... the mind boggles. The gal doing the paint could match any color or patina, do perfect pin striping, free-hand work. What an honor.

Like how you touch up the screws when putting the project back together.

I didn't realize that Tonka made a Garbage Truck. Another fine restoration.☺

I really like what you are doing thank you for the memories

When your tonka becomes a John Deer

My uncle has a sand blaster and I’ve been begging him to let me try it.

Beautiful restoration. Brings back memories.

Its amazing how many toys Tonka made with just that one truck frame.

When the kids start cheering, it's GO TIME.

PERFECT RESTORATION!!! beautiful job on the truck.

I cheer with the children every time! Another great restoration!

I can't believe it was looking better before! That rust was outstanding, YOU MONSTER!

"Tonka Toys for real tough boys"

I got one of those for either Christmas or my birthday . And what was the first thing I did . Went around the house emptying all the ashtrays . This was also the smallest TONKA in my collection .

Hey,they finally found my old Tonka truck.Since you did such a great job with it, it's yours to give to a deserving kid!

All these toys have a history, if only they could talk. I adore watching this channel it both takes me back to my childhood and the toys that made me happy and the adult pleasure of seeing a job well done. Tonka, built to last!. getting fairly rare to find today though.

Were the original Tonka’s powder coated? I understand it’s a tough surface coating that is perfect for these models. I was just wondering… Superb restoration, another time you didn’t let us down!

Phenomenal work. Also, you don't have to use click bait phrases to garner views. Your work does the trick nicely. Artist at work.

Outstanding work.

White and green paint colors combine beautifully. perfect restoration . Good work my friend :))

When toys were toys. I've got this up in the loft with my other Tonka's. I'm 50 this yr!

*Welcome to the Garb-Age! 😷👍* It looked like it may've had a couple of garbage cans in the back?

I can watch rusty metal getting sandblasted for hours. The transformation is delightful.

i could watch the blasting stage all day long without blinking ! , superb restoration

This makes me happy, I had one as a kid. Some jerk stole it so I only had it for about a week after my 5th birthday. Would have been 45 years ago on May 28 that I got this.

Amazing restoration... I gotta say tho, it always drives me insane when the yellowing in the plastic windows cant be removed completely.

Got this truck for my seventh bday! I laughed at the kids yay...as that is my response to the hypnotic effect of blasting anything!

Like therapy watching you work, soothing, thanks!

Incredible work, sir! You took a lump of rust and made it look literally brand new! By the by, how long did this restoration take?

I was today years old when I learned that Tonka toys came in a color besides yellow...

The sand blasting is so satisfying to watch

This is relaxing to watch for some reason, don't get to do many projects these days so its nice to see thing being restored.

"Remarkable!" - Remarkable / Our Gang (Little Rascals)

Does anyone else (at least internally) scream "yay!!!!" along with the children for the sandblasting time? 😂

I come here for the sand blasting...it’s my favorite🤩

Ithink there is more metal content in a Tonka than an average 2020 automobile these days.

Made back when toys could be used to take-out neighborhood bullies

When I first started watching these videos, I didn't know that was a sand blaster. I thought it was spray paint.

I don't know why it is, but watching you sandblast the rust and paint off and old toy is quite satisfying. it's like your giving the toy a new lease on life. Really nice work, thanks for sharing! As always thumbs up!

Who thought the cute little truck like that would come in so many different parts I love the sandblasting I think that that is my favorite time of the restoration but I also like the beginning to see what you're going to restore I like the sandblasting and I love the ending I just can't decide what I like the most thanks for posting

Am I the only one who feels so uncomfortable hearing the noise of rusty metal grinding?

I have that same little dump truck at my moms house! It was mine as a child and has provided many days of enjoyment for all the nieces, nephews and grand kids!

there are some nice tricks there. The tire lettering... The windshield cleaning and polishing... NICE WORK

Thank you very much for full sandblasting! Very satisfying.

If only I have patience and skill. Can't believe it's the same truck. 😂👍

Retro future looking garbage truck, that thing looks cool as heck. Good job!

I love howYou show all the trucks Tonka and how you rebuild them I will remember those as a kid I love your work

That was impressive. I now want a sand blaster and paint cabinet.

Coolest garbage trucks ever. Nice work. Powder coat looks great. Thought it would be green and yellow. White looks great though.

This is relaxing to watch plus has some great hints / hacks, thank you.

I had that EXACT same Tonka truck when I was a kid. Thanks for bringing back the memories!

That is so amazing! It's almost too perfect, because now it doesn't look like an old toy.

My neighbour had one when I was a kid. Brings it all back. Thanks for posting.

Nice! That truck was really roached out.

Restored it back to mint! Well done!

I don't know why, but the children's voices cheering before you start sandblasting makes me chuckle every time 😅

Awesome job!... takes me back to being a kid in the early 70s

That's awesome that you're saving these toys!! Beautiful restoration 👍👍👍.

Absolutely love these garbage trucks. Fantastic job.

Wow! That was an amazing process....

I only watch to hear the kids cheering when the blasting cabinet makes an appearance 😂 Not really - another super restoration, lovely work 👍😊

Well, I don't know if it will actually go viral... But it certainly deserves to! Fantastic!!!

oh superb mate had one of these as a young lad and never stopped playing with it,great job on bringing it back to life

My hubby has been hauling trash since he was 12 (his dad owned a local small company) so this restoration was super cool to watch! Great job!!!
