thanks for the comment.Yeah, been able to cash it in recently to try to de-declutter the garage and pay some bills.

Most fan motors are compacted with dust sucked in while running. It'll hume but not rotate when turned on. I blow out as much dirt as possible then spray lubricant around the shaft into the motor. Turn fan on and get blades rotating with a stick until under they're under their power. Sometimes a 2nd application is needed and fan fan works great.

Nice, and I am sure you can sell them for a lot more than scrap value. it is amazing how many fans I have resold or donated. Stay well and thanks for the comment

Prices are way better there. Getting $0.095 cents for shred, $2.75/lb for no2 copper, and only $0.39/lb for cast aluminum. Think I'll just let it pile up for now. The wire prices are really confusing to me also. The lowest grade/price, referred to as #2 insulated wire, is $0.75/lb. $1.80 for "machine wire" and #1 insulated at $2.10/lb. Romex at $1.65/lb. I know what romex is, but not the others......... Seems like what they call machine wire is definitely worth upgrading to #2 copper.

I am amazed that tin price has continued to stay high and blown away that cast aluminum is $0.85lb here.

wonder if we should start calling tin, steel shred, know its more words haha but more accurate and less confusing lol lets change the game haha

Do you suggest James should also change his channel name to Steel Shred 🦸🏻‍♂️Superman Scrapper? 😂

do all plugs have brass connectors?

@TinManScrapper

4 ай бұрын

I don’t know if all European connectors are brass but the ones I get on my scrapping adventures are either coated brass or yellow brass (all put in the same pile)

where are you getting scrap prices from? I bring my stuff to DMS metals and they won't release pricing or what they accept

I got ahold of a welder is the copper number one or is it number two.

@TinManScrapper

4 ай бұрын

The welder wire would be #2 in the long cables because it is a bunch of thinner strands. Any wire thinner than 16 gauge (about thickness of lead of a pencil) is #2
