Scrapping some old fans for loads of free copper, tin, brass, and other metals. Love my fans!

Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I will show you all the free copper, tin, aluminum, brass and other metals that are found in some old fans. I will show you how to safely and effectively identify and separate the metals in order to help maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible.

Good day James Everytime I see ur video It gets me motivated to get out & clean up my stuff Thanks

[@TinManScrapper]

Funny you say that, I am trying to clean through my pile of scrap right now. I don’t know how I let the pile get so high!

[@Randomsydneytrains]

Excellent work tin man! You’re helping me expand my knowledge! Love this video

FANTASTIC 👌

[@cuetTimmonz]

hope youre taking this scrap u have, and get some cash!!hard work ure doing... cheers from toronto!!!

[@TinManScrapper]

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

[@aaronedmunds4829]

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.

[@TinManScrapper]

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

Bro I’m 35 if I followed at age 14 I could be where I want to be me and my family. I’m a beginner scrapper if im at the level when I could play my radio or headphones that mean im learning. Soon as I move me and my family out I’ll have a shop playing jay z. Thank you for sharing your knowledge bro god bless you

[@TinManScrapper]

Thanks, I like to listen to music as well when I am scrapping. Jay Z is one of my favourites as well. One of the best artists live!!!

mister firth? holy cow you were my french teacher at holy trinity!

[@TinManScrapper]

I am Mr. Firth and was the French teacher at HT. Hope you are doing well.

[@user-ef5qn9nm5m]

@@TinManScrapper im hearing from the grape vine that you called an autistic kid an idiot and made him flip his desk. i do not think that a beauty like yourself would do that though. are you willing to clear up the rumors?

[@TinManScrapper]

I have never called any of my students and idiot nor made any student of mine flip his desk. I have enjoyed every one of my schools and all of the students past and present that I have met along the way. Sadly that is a false rumour. @@user-ef5qn9nm5m

[@TinManScrapper]

I have not been at HT for 6 years.

[@user-ef5qn9nm5m]

@@TinManScrapper thank you for clearing this up. i never would have thought that such a great teacher like you would do something like that.

[@silver_salvage_savage]

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.

[@TinManScrapper]

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

[@Hinarifansandmore13]

The metal desk fan looks like a GEC Fan from the UK

[@TinManScrapper]

Thanks for the info. Amazing what you can find when scrapping.

[@whatarewedoing0]

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

[@grijzekijker]

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

[@codyjennings6105]

do all plugs have brass connectors?

[@TinManScrapper]

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)

[@nicolemik8677]

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

[@TinManScrapper]

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

[@nicolemik8677]

@@TinManScrapper I'm talking about the thick copper in the machine it's self.

[@grijzekijker]

​@@nicolemik8677from what I know, unless very old, it's probably aluminum. If you scratch the copper colored coating you ruin the transformer.

[@jacobvanhalteren7452]

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

[@TinManScrapper]

Zubicks Scrap Metal in London. Their prices are all online

[@murlbailer3755]

It’s not an antique anymore 😂. 👍

[@TinManScrapper]

Yup, I don’t like taking apart antiques, but I would rather that than throw it in the trash.
