what tools do I need as a scrapper?

[@danaedwards5464]

looked like the cat wanted to steal the show great video thank you

[@Okiescrapper]

yeah peanut butter likes to get into the videos, I may have to put him up a channel some day, Thanks for watching

[@jackb.nimble4146]

11:13 Peanut butter was trying to point out the blue handle Channellock pliers. Top five. 1 Magnet 2 Side cutters 3 Cordless impact driver 4 Channellock pliers 5 One BIGGGG hammer

[@Okiescrapper]

yeah I almost forgot to mention the magnet, and I ended the video then thought about the hammer so I made a short clip to add to the video,, Thanks for watching

[@adamwall1966]

Love it That is what I started with Hammer, ax and adjustable wrench Bucket with tool bag Good advice

[@Okiescrapper]

thanks Adam we have to start with what we have and grow as we go

[@davidk8699]

When I go curb side scrapping my essential in-the-car tools are: (a) A magnet, (b) a pair of side cutters and (c) an impact driver with a long number 2 philips head. I reckon you should add a hand file to your list, since that can be used to work out if its brass, ally etc before you fork out for a bench grinder or angle grinder. You can tell the difference between stainless and aly by how soft it is when filing.

[@Okiescrapper]

I did mention a file toward the end of the video, if you look at the thumbnail pic it is inside the hack saw. yeah that is a tool that I rarely use, but is needed if you don't have a bench or angle grinder and starting out may not have much cash to work with, a file is cheap

[@chicken_permission]

I keep on moving in a small total of water to put under anything I'm grinding when I'm out collecting scrap

[@chicken_permission]

It's kind of nasty though keep bleach in the water

[@roblancie1007]

Excellent video and tips for new scrappers

[@Okiescrapper]

Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching Rob

[@wayneday3916]

I have a small gen in my truck all corded power tools. Old school tools. I have pipe wrench with cheater bar for those tough pop off valves and the normal tools you displayed. Also nice having generator to test stuff on the spot to see if it's a working item. I do a lot of cutting at road side so I can fit more in the truck. Like chairs tables so everything lays flat.

[@Okiescrapper]

That sounds like a nice setup, being able to cut on sight is nice. picked up a few swing sets and no way to cut them down. they take a while to pull the bolts out, the generator is a nice touch, I have a 500 watt inverter that I used to run a small air compressor when I was doing junk cars, now I have a 1 gallon cordless Ryobi, Thanks for watching

Very good list.I just purchased some big toys last year such as my torch but we do a lot of commercial jobs Keep on scrappin

[@Okiescrapper]

A torch is a nice thing to have for cutting short iron (prepared steel) and other job's too, I bought my tanks about 25 years ago. Thanks for stopping by Dylan

[@thestockexplorer]

Hi. New to the channel. Thanks for the tool tips and for going over how to tell aluminum from stainless that was helpful. Peanut Butter was a great helper.

I have remember to get some of those twine cutter blades

[@Okiescrapper]

they work well, I used to use the flat standard blade but they would go dull so fast so I started using them, Thanks for watching Red

[@scrapmandan245]

hello scrappers, watching while i scrap myself, have a great day

[@Okiescrapper]

Thanks, you too!

[@markstamatis826]

You kept walking past the vise. That comes in handy, sometimes. LOL!

[@Okiescrapper]

yeah after I finish the video it dawned on me that I didn't mention the vise, or hammer, I did a short clip on the hammer and added it, thought about the vice after that, and I almost forgot the magnet, Thanks for watching

[@jamesmichael3998]

I can't believe you haven't picked up those 420 channel locks yet my go-to tool. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida

I bought goyonder 3" blades but they keep breaking apart after a couple uses, is that normal for those blades?

[@kenord3437]

Does the cat go with the tool box

[@Okiescrapper]

no he is the wife's cat. he doesn't know it though

[@electronicscrapper4956]

Hmmm. Tools as a scrapper.... A hammer, a bigger hammer and a bigger bigger hammer. Band aids come in handy too

[@Okiescrapper]

lol. not much you can't do with a hammer, yes Band-Aids the wife made sure that I have a first aid kit out here in the shop and in each truck

[@adventureswithttfncachn3967]

I know you have probably answered this, but how do you get the stuff to scrap? Due you buy electric motors and stuff at auction? Dumpster diving and curb finds are getting harder with allot of new scrappers

[@Okiescrapper]

well tom I live about 6 miles outside of a small town and we have an electric coop, and they put out a small paper every month, and I run a free add in the paper for scrap metal wanted, also the town has a transfer station that I can go to and get scrap, the transfer is like a dump, except they have a compactor for house trash and 4 roll off dumpsters for the bigger stuff. a recycling bin and a place that people can dump scrap metal, there are a few others that get scrap from there. I listed my add this month, I have to have it in by the 10th for it to be in next month's paper. March and April may be a little slow but come May I will be very busy. another town that I drive through on my way to work is having a large trash pick up soon. thanks for watching

[@startswithjay2315]

You just earned a subscription from me! Keep up the great content. Right up my alley!!! BTW I take EVERYTHING apart myself. Like you and K&D. I even unwind steel BX so I can strip the copper inside. LOL Not too time consuming either.

[@Okiescrapper]

welcome aboard, K&D has some good videos, Thanks for watching

[@jasondean7181]

U dont need that many cutters just 1 to cut wire off of things an copper things like that bend it in to pecies tell u get done with object thin cut it up

[@Okiescrapper]

I was showing the different cutters that would work ,and that I have seen people use, so if they had any of them they could use it to start, I was not saying they needed all of them. Thanks for watching Jason

[@junkmonkey4596]
