Staying up late editing videos. Thank you. Very informative.

[@ashtonsseries6968]

Its amazing how many people don't know them little clip ends are brass.there definitely worth collecting when you get the amount you get.👍♻️

[@nelsonroy5065]

well, depends how much time he spends trying to salvage a 5¢ piece a brass...... And he spends so much time to salvage insignificant quantities of metal.

[@ashtonsseries6968]

@@nelsonroy5065 if your going to take them out in the first place to get clean aluminium then its not difficult or time consuming to just put them in a pot.and im not telling anyone to do anything totally up to the individual what they do.👍

Where did you get the scale?

[@sharoneaston9215]

Great video.

[@kenord3437]

My yard took alloy tubing as extruded, wonder if I was just lucky, I say it is worth the effort, thank Phil.

Great video, God Bless. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜🤗🥰🙏🙏

Great video 🍀🍀🍀

Nice video, thanks!

[@robertlivingstone3947]

Very interesting video

[@wghead]

Good video.

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Thanks!

[@markavargosr36]

the best way to get the push buttons out is to use needle nose pliers. Push in buttons on boath sides reach in hole and pull out. also a good tool for a punch is the axle off of the paint sprayer to use to get into pipes and tubes,

[@bergbryce]

I have drilled out the rivets on crutches before, they come out quickly. My scrapyard has a 95% clean aluminum category if I don't remove the tiny rivets too, which is nice. Much better price than dirty aluminum.

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

These rivets are alloy not steel

[@ludovdb4907]

thanks phil grt belgium

[@maggiecousineau1877]

Definitely added value when you clean them up. It looked so easy even I could do this.

[@jamesross382]

Hi Phil. Very interesting vid.Enjoyed it. thx

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Thanks 👍

[@kluafoz]

My yard pays less than shred price for dirty aluminum... I used to keep it separate and take in dirty aluminum. After seeing sooo many pieces of dirty aluminum in the shred pile I just decided to say fuck it and toss all my dirty in the shred pile...

[@kluafoz]

Also if they're in good shape in my town there's a couple different places to donate used medical equipment for low income people...

[@scrappingadventures290]

I would definitely do the same, as my yard does not buy dirty aluminum, so I kinda have to 😅👍

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Its worth it if they pay very little

[@alialsubaie6155]

👍

[@dalecrary8738]

I think its worth it. Nice video

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

I enjoy scrapping them

[@marthashipman9010]

Interesting.

[@josephcormier5974]

I agree stripping them is better you see them every wear and the wing nut is often cast and don't forget the brass thank you my friend five stars

[@ireneingram1174]

All good x

[@muriaticacid7004]

Thumbs UP

[@snoopbob3497]

a lot of yards in the uk just take then as aliminium as they are without stripping them

[@ramblingman8992]

UK crutches are way different to the ones you have. They have an arm clip at the top. The handle sticks out at 90 degrees from the handle and the whole thing consists of 2 tubes unlike the 3 yours has.

[@tomlim4406]

👍👍👍

[@y.lelivelt2619]

It's more fun for me to see you're struggling with a piece of scrap Phil. And I think for others too.( sorry).Do you have to buy those cruches when you need them in Canada? We can just use them and give them back for the next person. In Holland the things are different.

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

I don't know, I find them all the time

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

@@CanadianTreasureHunter same here in Australia. I thought you would return after use but they are quite often found in the rubbish so maybe not. I tried selling them with no interest. Maybe the hospitals just write them off

[@ikessul1429]

Great video buddy and definitely worth stripping

[@viorelchiriac571]

Respect for wath you doing Would you mind for scrap mettal prices list ?

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Prices here change all the time & my yard don't advertise prices

[@timtenbrinke8130]

Are the rivets ever aluminum?

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Yes

[@markavargosr36]

make sure all materil is less than 4 foot long, anything over they pay u less money.

[@weefreedavielittle]

ALOOMINIM LOL .It is Aluminium .. hehe 😉 xx

[@weefreedavielittle]

Its $ £ lol

[@christopherjacobs2746]

Didn't you say dirty they were $1.24 and clean was $1.40 if that's right you are making 16 cents by cleaning them you aren't doubling your money.

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Its about 40 Cents with our high prices, But most scrap yards pay 10 to 15 Cents only & at one time they where saying put it into the shred, Its not a money maker but depends on what they pay for dirty

[@bgaabo3]

@@CanadianTreasureHunter We only get 9 cents for dirty and $1.15 for clean sheet, but stuff like siding and extrusion is closer to $2 so not horrible

[@chrisgoodrich8987]

To me 40 cents in 5 minutes doesn't make sense but I only get paid 35 cents per clean pound of aluminum

[@gang35trevino42]

Police gang

[@nelsonroy5065]

Why do you always say "brass" twice in a row?

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

Come on, for a few bucks an hour? Great video btw I personally never waste time cleaning aluminium, it doesn't weigh enough + where I live in Australia, that gain per set would be about 40c. Definitely not worth wasting time on. Time is money

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

If they only pay sherd price, Its worth it. I gut the plastic insert off with a cable cutter & can strip very fast

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

@@CanadianTreasureHunter yeah I'm sure you'd be way faster than I would be. It's always faster too if you clean up a lot of same items at once isn't it? Once you fiddle around figuring out the first one, then you can whip through the rest really fast

[@nachostuff]

Not really worth the effort for me - it is .30 cents dirty or 45 clean since it is considered sheet. If it was extruded then it would be worth it. Nice info though

[@gang35trevino42]

Scrap metal

[@jodikinson5755]

Honestly Iwould clean them up and donate then there are some that need but can't afford them thats my opinion do you really need that extra money sorry again Donate

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

It's easy to say donate, I have a used moldy mattress do you want it? No I wouldn't
