I'm just sitting here like "I needed that cable."

On the plus side, you managed to get out of the yard with a free piece of scrap metal :)

@19:10 You have for sure a very positive attitude with everything, I admire that. With a punctured tire I would have gotten angry and would have probably been cursing. You are really a good guy. God bless.

Yep, with doing junk removal now I keep a tire plug kit.

Yes sir always have that in my truck

I always carry a plug kit in the glove box and a 12 volt air pump also. I don't know how many times I have plugged a tire on the side of the road, better then calling a tow truck. I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great videos.

Happy newear from Denmark.

Carry a few screws with you just in case you get another puncture. They'll stay in long enough and keep the air from leaking out while you are getting where you need to go.

Yeah I'd keep like 2 plug kits in the center console and small air compressor or a tank of compressed air. Most people dont know but plugs last a lifetime I had a honda accord wagon and I used to scrap in it and I had one tire with 3 plugs and one with 2 and they literally lasted until I sold the car a year later

Great video! I went to the scrap yard today myself and had my best day yet scrapping. I sold a bunch of pipes that I found in dumpsters and a lot of other big pieces of steel. I crammed everything into my little SUV. Made myself a pretty 154$ :) Thanks for the learning materials, definitely helps me stay afloat during this pandemic, peace and love from the USA!

Hi Ben. I'm happy that you were able to get the tire fixed. Glad prices are good. Stay safe and happy my friend. Ttyl my friend ☺☺☺😇😇😇

Gotta love that cable food 👌👍

Yaaa Ben! Keep these scrap yard videos coming! Nice work

Manhari sure has a nice looking truck fleet. Wouldn't mind taking that semi in the background for a spin around Melbourne.

I always like to have a plug in my truck, especially after going to the scrap yard, so I can plug it on the spot. Of course the scrap yard is 30 miles from my home too! I'd have the plug ready when I pull it out and I try to keep as much air as possible in the tire!! Most plugs I've put in has lasted the lifetime of the tread of the tire!! Have a Great Day My Friend!!!

What a good guy Bob is. We like him 👍

I had a rubbish removal business in the city , 3 ton truck , averaged 1 flat a week . if it goes through the side it was a new tyre , always picked up screws or some crap at the tip or recycle center , thanks for the video it was a pleasure to watch

My local yard pays the same for all grades of wire. They are unusual as the other yards don't.

Very nice video awesome

Awesome job, ben!

even with the flat was well worth the trip

Seeing all that wire reminded me of the trailer park boys scene when they're running from the cops and stop at a farm and bubbles gets caught in some wire 😆

Sweet score...keep up the good work!!

Phantastic

you got lots of nice bins.

I got a tire plug kit myself recently after getting a 2nd screw in a tire, I figure it might happen again so why not save some money. First time I had the service station do it but this last time I decided to buy the kit. It wasn't bad to do, I did remove the tire because I just could not get the right leverage to push the tools in.

Right when you were commending them, "they" get you in trouble. 😆

You should get a little van trailer to maximize loads to the recycling yards and maximize loads while on the street scraping

Hate to see your tire like that. I could hear the fury in your voice. Really wish I could pay for that spare tire! Epic load. My mouth watered just looking at that wire. Lovely bucket of mixed brass. Sorry brass is just my favorite metal. Can you bring cast aluminum that appears to be zinc or diecast?

Current prices as of this morning is $3.20/kg for cords and $8.85 for top grade copper

Your van is fully loaded as always and moneybag full of cash :)

Ngl I think a new van is getting closer and closer

I hope you made it home on that tire. At least the prices were good, still what a pain! Thanks for the video

Has good luck with the prices and then bad luck with the tyre, sods law as they say here...

This is going to be my 2nd side hustle

well done Ben, getting ride of the coated while its high brainy man

Thanks for the interesting video! :D

Wow, I knew the insulated copper wire bin frenzy was a coming, but wow what a payday! Keep em coming Ben I'll watch you cut cords all day plus I like listening to your talk! 👍👍 Edit: Ben how about all the Tin Plated Copper plates you took from the recent variable speed drive scrap out?

For any scrappers in the USA, you can simply take his price in AUD/kg and divide by 3 to get an idea of what hes being paid in USD/lb. Formula I used: 2.2 lbs in 1 kg 0.74 USD in 1 AUD Let AUD/kg equal A, USD/lb equal U. U = (A/2.2)*0.74 U = (0.74/2.2)A U = A / (2.2/0.74) U = A / 2.97297

Hi Ben id be curious to compare prices with what your getting compared to me. I haven't done a video for a while but seeing im selling every week maybe i should.......currently im getting Bright Copper $9.65kg Clean Copper $9.40kg Dirty Copper $8.80kg Clean Brass $6.25kg Dirty Brass $5.75kg Standard Cable $3.35kg Dirty Copper/Aluminum Rads $3.90kg Clean Copper/Aluminum Rads $4.25 Iv learned the real place where all scrap yards in Brisbane sell to, originally i thought it was Sims but i was so wrong.

Having visited Manhari myself recently.I get the feeling there's a price gap between being an ABN Vs Non ABN holder. That or they have some price structure based on quantity (more you have the higher the rate.). $3kg/$2.10kg.........Insulated copper. $1.80kg/$1.20kg for low grade cable. clean brass $5.60/$4.50. Domestic Aluminium $1.30kg/0.80c Kg Am i right or are Manhari selectively ripping people off?

You need a hand “free labour” I’m happy to help

I used to scrap id always burn the coating off the wire get more for it where I am.

I like this in England

prices in Australia are much better than here in the states. most yards here are paying 4.5 cents a pound for steel/ light iron even tho the need for steel is going back up again.

Curious if its worth your time snipping off the plugs and cashing in on higher prices?

With that amount of medium/low grade wire, I'm surprised you haven't bought a granulator.

Can you go through differences in low vs mid grade wire please Ben.
