STRIPPING WELDING CABLE FOR SCRAP COPPER !!

I scored some old welding cable and stripped it out for a tidy profit. See how much copper is actually in welding cable and how easy it is to strip !

Thanks buddy ! Easy peasy as Ian likes to say !

[@copperkingrecycling634]

That cable is awesome. Awesome scrap score.

[@CruiserMac]

Nice stuff, very heavy. Thanks for stopping by friend !

Very nice score!!

[@CruiserMac]

Thanks!

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

nice job ;) great findings ;)

[@CruiserMac]

Worked out pretty good Johnny !

[@Dav3Campb3ll]

That's a great score. Those harness have expire date you gotta look at. I use them at work all day. Great find. Right place right time

[@CruiserMac]

They have a manufacture date but not an expiry date that I can see? Some fly by night guy will buy them ...haha.

[@gainingweightminingmetal3848]

Nice find Cruiser

[@CruiserMac]

You just never know what you are going to run across !

[@cutweldngrind]

Awesome score. I wish I could find me some cable like that to use on my welders.

[@CruiserMac]

A lot of it was in rough shape though Jorge, seen some hard use !

[@JimboScrapper]

I have one of those cutters and they are a life saver

[@CruiserMac]

They work great Jimbo, really save wear and tear on your body.

[@MissCanadian]

That's was a good score on the copper my friend

[@CruiserMac]

Thanks Evie, have to get out more looking for stuff like that !

good vid on the channel thanks lee

[@CruiserMac]

Thanks Lee !

[@Man-in-da-shed]

As a hobbyist scrapper, I’m always a little nervous at buying stuff to scrap, but even I would have jumped at that deal. And it is so easy to strip. With no Ommering at all .

[@CruiserMac]

Me too Ian, but once I had lugged it back to the shed I was pretty sure it was going to work out good. Very easy to strip, only need a razor knife really. 'Ommers are always on standby though ! 😁😁😁

[@danthescrapper815]

A great score of cable there mate and it made some good weight too, the profit your going to make is also fantastic turning $100 into $500.......I see you have also invested in those Milwaukee Cable Cutters, im sure they are cheaper in the states too compared to what i had to pay for mine, but they are money well spent and have certainly made things easier when needed.

[@CruiserMac]

Hi Dan, yes those cable cutters work great! Mine will cut up to 500 MCM copper, which is a chore to cut with hand shears.

[@danthescrapper815]

@@CruiserMac A chore indeed, you n i both have that same cable cutters.

[@mr1pearl]

Good chunk of copper 👍

[@CruiserMac]

Very nice !

[@dsimental6]

Man! Look at all that Speaker wire.😂

[@CruiserMac]

Haha, yeah you could get some hard bass with that for sure !

[@thescrapmeister]

Nice hall there Mac...

[@CruiserMac]

Yes, it worked out pretty good !

[@RoeMantic]

Hell yeah 400 dollar profit or better that’s the way to do it!

[@CruiserMac]

You bet ! Always pays to be out there looking around, had no idea he wanted to get rid of the cable when I went to see him.

[@cuscrapping]

Very nice score!! I bought a full 100' spool of 4/0 at a garage sale once for $40!!! I have a chart that tells me how much wire weighs per foot. 4/0 is .78 lbs/ft.!!! 😳👍🤑

[@CruiserMac]

I realized that a career change as a welders helper was not in the cards ! The helper drags those cables around all day and they are heavy ! Garage sales should be starting in a couple of months, going to hit them hard this year!

[@mugshotmarley]

do scrap yards care if I chop up a 100ft welding cable into multiple small pieces to strip/clean (much easier to handle) or one long cable? Does it matter to them? Thanks

[@CruiserMac]

No they don't care ! Welding cable is great if you can get it, easy to strip and heavy copper !

[@scrappingadventures290]

Awesome copper, a really good buy, I would say. Project shop fl recently stripped a bunch of this stuff as well, did you see his video? 👍👍😊

[@CruiserMac]

I missed that one, I will have to check his channel. He is an industrial grade scrapper !

[@scrappingadventures290]

@@CruiserMac For sure, amazing how much scrap he gets and he also seems like a really cool dude 👍👍

[@scrapbongo786]

Nice one Mac, welder you say hmm ..:) Your guess was bang on that 140 weight mark. I think we are closer to 4.60 here so if you have other material might just be worth a drive? /cheers ScrapBongo

[@CruiserMac]

Wow, that would be a $1.10 more that I would get here. Only problem is sometimes you wait and the price goes down. Yes, I briefly had 3 welders but my old one sold as soon as I listed it on FB Marketplace ! I think you could just bolt those mesh shelves on the sides you have and it would be simple and easy !

[@scrapbongo786]

@@CruiserMac Yes, never know on the price stability for sure. Sweet your old welder sold right away /cheers ScrapBongo

[@SilverScorpion]

Great

[@CruiserMac]

Thanks buddy !

[@gulfcoastacrscrapper6523]

#2 copper wire for $3.50 is that low for you Mac? Nice score and hopefully market place will be helpful for you Sir. No snow up there and it's freezing cold here 28° tomorrow Morning. 🌴🌴

[@CruiserMac]

It is low compared to the coast, Scrap Bongo thinks it is around $4.60 down there right now. Well we have some left over snow but that is cold for you guys! The Iguanas will be dropping from the trees again !

[@stevesrt8]

thats awesome. what yard are you going to?

[@CruiserMac]

Knox Mountain, they have new owners and the prices are a bit better. The only other one is ABC but their prices are horrible. I sent you a text when I will be up tomorrow.

[@stevesrt8]

@@CruiserMac cool. i may have to check it out. would they have any usable steel to sell do you think?

[@CruiserMac]

@@stevesrt8 They were selling steel, they have really cleaned the place up though. Depending on what you are after they should have some.

[@stevesrt8]

@@CruiserMac just small stuff really. 1/8 plate is nice for bottle openers and punisher logos haha

[@CruiserMac]

@@stevesrt8 Haha, I will see what I have ! I two guys I could get cut offs from when I was in Penticton. I have to find a new source in Kelowna !

All is known now buddy !

[@lfurches]

Yeah, I heard about the Frazier river and the terrible storm a couple weeks ago. At least I think so. Sorry, I have been dealing with so much right now, my brains a bit scrambled

[@CruiserMac]

Yes we had some terrible flooding a couple of months ago, washed out all the main roads !

[@lfurches]

@@CruiserMac wow, that long ago already. Man I have had a doozy of a month between my own health but my husband having his stroke and me taking on extra taxi shifts to the boys school and other duties. I wonder where I left my head every time I go out the house or even just downstairs 🤔 lol 😆
