Only thing I don't do anymore is use a grinder on transformers, after watching you use a machete, its alot quicker and quieter, great job my friend splitting them last transformers in half it was fast and easy method witch saves on cutting wheels and electricity 👍👊🙏
Exactly, You get it.
Thank you so much for watching brother.
Absolutely love transformer action! All these methods are great! Thank you for sharing brother!! Another great video!
Thank you so much brother! 🗡️
You're welcome
Perfect video. From the uk 🇬🇧 I like the machete idea. But i would use an aluminium plate under the transformers instead of steel. So you dont damage your knife edge.
Cheers pal 👍
Thank you!
That’s a good idea, I was thinking of using a chunk of leather.
Thank you for watching.
This is something I haven't played with yet. I have a few 55 gallon drums of them. One day I'm going to do this. So I'm thankful for videos and tips on them. I haven't made my plan yet on exactly how I'm going to do them. Great video buddy!
Glad I’m able to help. Thank you so much!
Please video it when you do.
I would recommend switching the machete for a lawnmower blade. The tool steel takes hits better and there's a larger surface for striking. Plus, there's a million of them out there for scrappers.
I’ve been looking for just the right one, but still haven’t found the one I like.
I will say though, my machete isn’t showing any signs of weakness, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time lol. Thank you for watching.
🤙🤙👍 last i did was out of 4 old stick welders,tuff to get but got me 18 lbs of copper goodness 😁✌️
Oh sweet, that’s a great chunk of copper buddy!
Just have to love the machete method ! Thanks for these instructional videos and God bless you. 🙏
I love that method a lot.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
God bless you!
Great visual video of the make up of transformers.👍👍 I almost feel sorry for the transformer being hammered. 🤔🤔😂😂Really good job showing the various systems to get at the copper. Thanks for sharing brother.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching brother.
Great show. 🎉
Thank you
I figured you were saving the best for last. Great video, my friend!
Always lol.
Thank you so much!
Not bad I like the maths you used got quite a few I will give it a go 👍 👍
Thank you, I’m happy you liked it.
Thank you for watching!
Thank You Sir!!.. Well done!!.. You've educated me!!.. Kevin...from Down Under!!.. 🙂
@@kevinbrauer9036 awesome, I’m happy my video was helpful.
Thank you so much, Kevin!
I like the machete for the smaller ones and the hammer for the larger ones. Great video
I’m with you on that!
Thank you so much!
I prefer the "Machete Method!" You can beat out your frustrations and make money at the same time. 😤😤😤💲💰💲🤣
😂 that’s a great way to look at it.
Thank you so much for watching and your support.
Gonna have a pile of them next week to go through, AWESOME video my friend!!
Which method you think you’ll use?
@@scrapitall200 Proably grinder. Also getting a good hammer set this week. Looking for a good quality machette though. That thing is WICKED!!!
@@maritimescrapper machete is awesome, definitely get yourself one. Grinder works, as you saw, but I definitely prefer the machete lol. Thank you for watching.
Love the machete method
Me too, it works really well. Thank you for watching.
You're welcome
Yes sir I use all four of them myself and like you the matchite is the favorite thanks for sharing this with us six stars brother
I love the machete so much.
Thank you so much for watching brother
Great video, reassured I was doing it the best ways possible. I tore 5 down the other day, yielded over 8#s off different motor types, 3 transformers and 3 fan motors..
That’s awesome!
Thank you for watching.
ok thank you for the lesson
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.
A lot of good ways to do it buddy another great video buddy! I’d say your way is the best my friend!
Thank you so much buddy!
Great video bro I got a bunch of these to do
Thank you bro!
Very good and informative video. I got an old battery charger and it has a big transformer in it. Not checked if all copper but hopefully it is. Your machete is looking like it's breaking. God bless you.
Thank you!
It’s the wood handles, they are split and the tape I used is failing lol.
How are you doing?
God bless you so much.
@@scrapitall200 Wood handles never hold up like they should. I'm doing ok for the most part. Today would have been our 8th wedding anniversary.
@@dalemills8052 no they don’t.
I pray the peace of God will be with you brother!
THANK YOU BROTHER
@@blackthornknives you’re welcome brother. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.

Thank you!
God bless you and thank you for watching.
Thank you for a great video and God bless
Hey buddy, long time no see! Hope you’re doing well and God bless you too.
That was awesome. I think I like the machete the best
Me too, brother. Thank you for watching.
Watch the Toes. :)
Dropped one o those one my foot once. At that moment I started wearing steal toes shoes when doing that.
Have a 5 Gallon Bucket full of Copper transformers at home I need to take the time and breakdown.
Gotta be light on the feet 😂
Steel toed boots are so wonderful.
Oh cool, that should be a nice chunk of money once you get them processed.
best viedos ever
Wow, that is so nice of you to say. I’m happy you’ve enjoyed them.
Thank you!
Great stuff buddy.
Thank you!
@@scrapitall200you’re welcome!
Good morning and blessings, my friend.
Good morning to you as well! Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Welcome
Nice video, i usually break the welds with a grinder and then hit with a hammer, i need to try the machete one.
That definitely helps a lot.
I think you’d really like using the machete method.
Thank you for watching.
Wanted to let some of.you know cause you have not seen you show this as of yet my brother👍, if and when you find a A/C or drug you can take the compressor unit out and cut it open , it does have minimal oil in it, but it is also housing about one to two bounds of copper in it, if you take it as a unit you will only get around 0.23 or less a.pound which is a big loss ,also if you take the AC coils and cut the steel off th m you will get around 1.75 a bound more or. less, it all depends on your scrap yard, have a blessed and wonderful day/night 🙏✌️
I’m actually getting ready to scrap one of those sealed unit compressors. Thank you, I appreciate it buddy.
Have a wonderful day and God bless.
The fin coils can be cleaned with a 1 1/2 inch wood chisel and a hammer. Cut off the copper ends and remove the steel.
Awesome
Thank you brother
Great video 👍
Thank you so much!
I appreciate you watching.
Wish I knew the machete method years ago. I had scrapped tons of small transformers just as they were.
It’s such an easy method. Thank you so much for watching.
good job 👍👍👍
Thank you buddy
Next time I'm visiting a scrapyard whenever I need a transformer for a project XD. 16 bucks I would've gladly taken them without all the trouble of dismantling them!
Cool!
Thank you for watching
Super. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you!
Happy Sunday God bless you all.
Happy Sunday to you as well.
God bless.
I use the machete method does it nice and fast
That’s awesome!
Thank you for watching.
👍
Thank you
I wish they all had welds. I like that machete method though 👍
I’ll have to agree with you, the welded ones are so simple with just a hammer. I sure do love my machete though lol. Thank you so much for watching my friend.
Bello in machete.....tutto il resto faccio uguale a te complimenti 👍
Thank you so much for watching.
Awesome video I love the hammer and machete method 🔨🗡️♻️👌🏻
CheeRs ScrapItAll
Me too buddy. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 I always enjoy watching and learning from you! 🙏🏻
@@BushDogScrapper I sure do appreciate you brother!
@@scrapitall200 same to you I won’t lie I feel at peace watching your videos 🙏🏻
That’s awesome. Thank you for saying that
Great information. I won't be selling the microwave transformers as electric motor for .20/lb anymore
Thank you so much! Glad to help.
I seldom find copper in a microwave trans. Just red aluminum.
@@kkarllwt Good to know. Thanks
Machete works great!
Awesome, glad it worked well for you!
@@scrapitall200 thank you!
Hi James. Enjoying your videos,i used to scrap full time as my primary income i do different things now but still as you say "Hobby scrap" i Googled your "machete" looks like it actually is a Piece of cutlery made in Sheffield England and "shear steel" is made the same way as Damascus steel! I also would venture to say it could be OVER 100 years old so you might want to try making a replacement and stop beating on it lol peace and blessings to you.
Thank you so much!
Interesting, I’ll have to do some research and see what I can find. I didn’t think it would be that old, but if it is, I’m definitely going to stop beating on it lol.
Thank you so much for sharing that information with me.
God bless!
@@scrapitall200 I just googled "I Wilson shear steel" and found all kinds of interesting information. Good luck and you may want to Google that firehouse valve and makers marks on the other brass items... People don't think to research stuff before they toss it out AND B4 they scrap it.... So much history and tradition end up in the shredder and the melt furnace when someone else needs the part to complete a restoration project or a museum display so if ya don't know what it is please look it up and see what you can find it's fun also!!! Lol
I’m definitely keeping that firehouse valve, it’s so cool. I looked it up and I believe it’s from the 1950’s. Thanks again.
Nice , machete that's new
Works so good and on motors as well.
Thank you for watching.
Do you recommend a good machete many that I see have a serrated edge on the side that you beat on will any machete work?
I found this machete from a clean up job I did, not sure how old it is or the brand. I will say that I’d try to find one that has thick steel, wooden handles. Try to find one that isn’t serrated. I wish I had more information for you.
Thank you for watching.
A old meat cleaver. A fro. A reworked large lawn morer blade. Ask a golf coarse maint shed.
Need to get me a sawzall. Need to add that cleaver option into your methods bro 😉
I’m still looking for one, I’m eager to try it after watching you use one. I hear a hatchet works really well, too.
Now what am I going to watch on Sunday, your a day early and a dollar short
I’ll make it up to you. Maybe 😂
@@scrapitall200 so that means no
@@nicejunk666 maybe 😂😂
You need to put a hose clamp or rebar tie wire around that Hachette, Transformers are great for Copper
I need to make new handles 😂
I like your idea of using a hose clamp. Thank you for watching buddy.
knock the weld off with a lump hammer, mount the transformer on 2 blocks with the edge of the windings sitting on the blocks, then punch the E leaves out with a cold chisel
@@harleykeller9314 I like showing different methods on how to scrap!
i need to get that machete now :D
It’s so sweet!
Thank you for watching.
Use a portable band saw instead of a grinder. Little dust.
Wish I had one but I prefer the machete for doing transformers.
Dont u have to unwind the copper? Ure putting the metal transformer in the pail.no?
I removed the copper from the steel part of the transformer and put them in separate containers
Are those copper bands around those stereo transformers?
Yes they are! 😁
Awesome
@@JohnJoe-pf8of thank you for watching buddy.
You're welcome
I haven’t yet started them but I do the motors copper motor not transformer
Awesome!
Thank you for watching.
Where can I buy a scale like that. It is exactly what I'm looking for.
I bought that through Amazon. Goes up to 440 pounds.
@@scrapitall200 what's the brand name or model number
@@Kreacher1974 Accuteck is the brand name. Let me know if you find it.
@scrapitall200 found it and added it to my save for later list. Thank you very much, sir
@@Kreacher1974 oh good. You are very welcome!
First! 🎉
Yay! Congratulations, you are the number one Chris lol
saw zaw wrks faster
Did you watch the video?
yes I did.I love my saw zaw.Always keep a good supply of blades.I hve a battery operated for when out picking up,for larger items,electric one at home.Love my too;s.
@@scrapitall200
Ok cool, thank you. I prefer the machete myself and find it to be quicker. Thanks again.
Work smart not hard cut the weld with a bandsaw.
Angle grinder works as well but not everyone has those tools so I like to show it’s possible without those tools
@@scrapitall200 - I scrapped 15 years ago for about 5 years used to buy and scrap motors and transformers the most, I did one motor as big as a van one time. Used the money I made scraping to start a construction company.
@@scrapitall200 also I found the angle grinder the most dangerous way especially when doing a lot of them
@@RobertMillerJustme wow, that’s a massive motor!
That’s awesome buddy!
@@RobertMillerJustme that tool definitely can be quite dangerous.
hey, can you do something for me?
What’s that?
@@scrapitall200 so my brother has a channel with 51 and I know for a fact that they are fake bc he's ben like that for 1 year and today I got 14 sub's but that's not the Point he did something I hated so can you dislike all of his videos please?
@@smitchlego your brothers videos?
@@scrapitall200 yes he has a YT channel named redbirddriver
@@smitchlego what did he do that upset you so much?
Religion in the video. Ugg fake bible..stuff. people r weird.
Jesus is real!
The make up gods. infect their minds and then try to infect the minds of others. All religions are mental infections. Only the quakers a bahis seem to be inoqusios.(sic )
