Scrapping COPPER MOTORS: common places I STILL find them and some tips and tricks to take them apart

[@TinManScrapper]

Note this video was recorded a few months ago. Currrent price of #2 copper is $5.25lb in London, Ont.

[@DB-jd9ht]

Lol I was gonna say its over $5.50 here now

[@TinManScrapper]

Crazy prices, but I will take it!@@DB-jd9ht

[@silver_salvage_savage]

Man, thought it was starting to make sense..... Even after the exchange rate, yall getting way better prices. Here in the metro detroit area #2 copper is at $3.30/lb $5.25 cad is $3.85 USD...........

Hi Tin Man! Long-time subscriber. Love your videos. One question: How did you know that was zinc cast, and not just regular cast aluminium? Keep up the amazing work! x

[@TinManScrapper]

Thank you for watching and the sub. Zinc cast looks like a rainbow effect on the inside (like a drop of oil in a puddle). Although I will say if in doubt just put the item in a separate bin and bring in for the scrapyard people to look at and categorize

[@andiepasdedeux6576]

@@TinManScrapper Thanks so much for the reply! x

[@tommymadden9746]

Do you remove the strings and the plastic before taking it to the scrap yard

[@TinManScrapper]

No since I get downgraded from #1 anyway because of the thickness or glue etc.

[@patrickwilliams4613]

Good video thanks

[@hisandherscoins]

I just cleaned up about 50 of them there not heard to do my yard is 3.80 dollars lbs and # 1 is 4.00 dollars lbs and bear Bright is 4.20 and the trash motors I just scrap as motors but copper motors I save 100%

[@silver_salvage_savage]

Not complaining but, what happens to the ac in a car when it's crashed? The freon leaks out into the environment. When a window ac unit falls out of the window......it leaks. When the garbage man crushes the fridge out at the curb, yep, leaks out. Not advocating venting into the air, just sayin is all......

[@TinManScrapper]

I know, kind of weird that we cannot cut the hoses but the garbage man will throw them in the truck.m

[@mackhughson3722]

Why woul that be type 2 copper? Isnt it barebright or type 1?

[@TinManScrapper]

Unfortunately here because it has a coating and or thinner than 16 gauge all motor wire classified as #2

[@dedge511]

Air mattress motors. Just cut the motor housing from the bag

[@TinManScrapper]

Thanks for the tip. I bet they are a good source of copper. Have not actually found one yet.

You really should take a few minutes and tighten down that vice to your bench.

[@kenmaiseljr9855]
