Dumpster Diving - Let's Grab It All!

Quick dumpster diving run turned into a full truckload of scrap pretty quickly! Whole bunch of extra treasures to bring home too, so an excellent day for trash!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3sirg18
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
The grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl

    Great video as always! Thub, you have inspired me to take scrapping to the next level. I recently retired and my wife was growing weary of me slowly becoming part of the couch. Soooo, a used Chevy S-10 (4 Cyl / Auto) was purchased for a song & I was able to build some side racks for cheap. Got a nifty extension pole to probe & grab treasures from dumpsters as well as some common tools for scrapping. We live in East Texas where new building and remodels are never ending, so it should be lots of fun. Keep up the great work & keep on scrappin'

    For future reference dude, ALWAYS check purses you find. Handbags often contain forgotten money. Literally. A friend found 18k jewelry in one once, so always worth checking.

    You REALLY should have kept that guitar amp, vintage amps (even ones that need repair) can fetch very good prices, for example Dumble amps (very rare) sell for up to $150,000. That Kent amp even if it's broken would probably still be worth selling for spares or repair, you might $50 - $100 for it as is.
