Man! I love those little motors ! So simple!! I could do a thousand of them a day and it would not hurt my feelings lol ! Great video Brother!
Right, me too!
Quick and easy and pretty fun.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
Love the way you do these demonstrations, you make it look so simple
Thank you my friend!
I sure do appreciate you watching.
Nice little bunch of copper. I love prying those little chunks out. I can spend an inordinate amount of time on two cents worth of copper sometimes.
They are fun and relaxing to do, especially when they come apart smoothly. Very satisfying.
WOW!!! Man, I've been doing these ALL wrong!! Neever dreamed about squeezing them in a vice, and I'm very impressed by the way it also makes pulling the solid pieces out so much easier! I was putting them in the vice and just beating the daylights out of them. 😂 These types of videos are the reason you are now my #1 go to for scrapping tips! THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you so much brother for your wonderful comment.
I’m so happy my video is helpful to you.
God bless you, have a wonderful week and thank you so much for your support.
I have learned a variety of easy methods to remove the copper. thanks so much. God Bless!
Hey buddy, good to see you.
God bless you and thank you for watching.
Nice. Easy copper. Amen.
Amen brother!
God bless
🤙🤙👍 the fun part of scraping 😁✌️
Heck yeah buddy!
great tip on squeezing the smaller ones in the vice.
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Love watching your dissection of the metal.
Glad you have spring there. Spring took a detour for us!! 😂
Oh no, you must be up in Canada? lol
Thank you for watching.

Good morning, James. I enjoyed this video, like always. I enjoy your style of scrapping and your faith in Christ and that I don't have to worry about bad language coming out of your mouth. Have a Blessed Day.
Good morning!
Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate hearing that.
God bless you and have a great day
You're doing good work for the planet 👍👍
Thank you, I appreciate that. I really do love recycling.
Excellent video sir I strip those down just like that it's so easy and well worth it thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us six stars brother
Right on brother! It’s definitely easy and worth it.
Thank you so much for watching and all of your support.
Your amazing answering to all the comments!!! Great video James
Thank you buddy!
I appreciate your support.
Man, I've been using a hatchet and hammer to cut these in half, but next time I'll try just whacking the coil out with a hammer. Good technique! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for watching.
I sometimes have to chuckle when I see guys selling them as motors :-) Great Video!
Right! They are way too easy to do that imo
Thank you for watching.
Hey SIA! great video today i like this kind of microscrapping! and lok at all that amazing copper! really cool thing. have a good time till the next video, see u there!
Hey buddy, hope you’re doing well.
Me too, it’s a lot of fun.
Have a great week!
I gotta say they are my favourite type of motors to scrap I hit them with a hammer to pop the spool out! Awesome video Brother God Bless
God bless you brother!
Nice and easy copper, that's always good!
Absolutely buddy, the best kind!
Thank you for watching
Thanks on the tip on getting the roll out. Once out, if it's brittle plastic I just hit it with a hammer. It breaks up easy enough. If not I cut or tear the top off like you do.
Awesome!
Thank you for watching.
Someone once gave me an old candy vending machine for scrap (it was about 800 lbs.! No wonder it’s hard to tip them over!😅) and it had a whole bunch of these motors where they turn the coils that dispense the candy. That was a fun scrap out. In fact I had to partially dismantle it just to tip it into my truck🥵. I don’t use a vice, but I just set them on the ground and hit the thin part with a hammer claw and the part opens up to pop out the copper part. They add up quickly because they are simple to scrap.
That sounds awesome! I’d love to scrap one out.
Thank you for watching buddy.
I been finding these out of microwaves. Thanks for the video!!!
You’re welcome.
Thank you for watching!
Love the way you recover the insert copper. Going to have a go at that right now. Awesome episode brother
Thank you!
I definitely try to get all the copper.
I truly enjoy your videos ❤
Thank you 😊
Thank you so very much!
Have a great day and thank you for watching.
This is perhaps the most useful video I've seen in years. We've been doing those all wrong! Thank you and God bless!
Awesome, I’m so happy my video is helpful to you.
God bless and thank you for watching.
Nicely done! I have done many of these motors and you still showed a few methods I didn't know about. I like those Doyle dikes. Got one myself!
Thank you!
Yes, the Doyle’s are really nice. I’ve had them for a couple years and they are still in great condition.
Thank you for watching.
That was a great video. I love doing the fan motors. Such easy copper. Awesome
Thank you buddy!
Yeah I agree with you.
Hey James, I've done dozens of these motors and I didn't know that 'squeezing method'
I will try next time, thank you. God bless!
Awesome, I’m happy my video was helpful brother.
God bless you!
Excellent video brother. I always remove the little copper pieces before I remove the copper coil when I use the squeeze method. Like the pry option for the bigger one. Better than just smashing with a hammer for sure
Great minds think alike lol.
Thank you brother, I always appreciate your support!
Great video!
Thank you!
I just did some of them last week easy money easy copper! I ended up getting 2 pounds of copper from mine but it all adds up buddy! Another awesome video like always!! Have a great weekend buddy!
I saw, but it looked like you cut the copper?
Thank you buddy.
Thank you, I am doing well!
Good, glad to hear that buddy!
Your life (time) saver. 👍
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
I have a pretty nice stockpile of them, can’t wait to try these tips out!
I’m sure it will work great :)
The machete electric motor trick
And
The hatchet transformer trick both worked very very well!!
Oh awesome, thank you for letting me know!
I’m very happy my videos have been helpful.
Thank you for watching.
When I take them apart, I will open up my vice and I will put the spoon between the jaws and hold it down and take a hammer and hit on top of the spool and knock it off that way. It’s a whole lot faster than it is clamping it in the vice. I have used my standard holes in my pick up truck and knocked out that way. I always take my end, snips and cut the sides of the spool off. as you already know, some comes off really easy, and some don’t. Then I just pull the wire off of the spool and wad it 8:03 up in a ball just like you did. Now the bigger size copper that you pulled out of the grooves, do you sell it for number one or number two. I sell mine for number one and I cut all the solder pieces off, or the brass pieces off, then you’ve got clean number one. You can take him old ten snips and have them sharpened, and they will cut just like brand new ones.
I want to know when you take a hard drive apart. There is a green green round spoke looking wheel that has copper on it. I have seen it for hours unwinding those by hand. I want to know from you do you have a better way of getting it off ?
I don’t know where the 8:O3 come from, I didn’t put it there.
I have sit for hours
I just put it in my #2 copper, the yard is a bit picky.
No, unfortunately I don’t know of a different way to remove the copper from them, I just sell them as small copper motors.
Thank you for your comment and for watching!
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍
Thank you buddy! Have a great day.

@@scrapitall200 🤣🤣🤣
@@nicejunk666 😂😂
damn, everything in North America is bigger than here in the UK 🇬🇧I love your no nonsense videos 🤔
We Americans love things to be big 😂
Thank you very much.

You’re welcome!
Thank you for watching.
Every one of your how to videos leave me saying to myself, "Who knew?"
Thank you, I’m so happy my videos are helpful.
Thank you for watching.
AWESOME
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Great video! I usually just angle cut a line and let the copper fall into my bucket but your vise pinch idea is much more clean and profitable. I’m trying it out tomorrow before my run, the scrap community appreciates you! Scrapper from Michigan!
@@Justjimmy127 thank you so much for your kind words! I hope it goes really well for you.
🙏 AMEN
God bless you!
Thank you for watching
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks buddy!
You are welcome buddy 😀
I have been doing these, but just kind of bumbling through them. Don't own a vice, yet. Usually, I try to smash them out of center. ...messy. Never knew how to get smaller copper from other end. Thanks for this video!
I’m thankful for my vise every day I scrap lol. It really does make things so much easier.
I’m glad you found the video helpful.
Have a wonderful day and rest of your week.
once you have the metal removed from the copper, you can also use the machete or hatchet and chop the copper in half to remove it from the plastic
Right on, I definitely love some machete or hatchet action lol.
Nothing has made me more angry at myself than this. But at the same time excited for the future!!!
I’m happy my video is helpful for you.
Thank you for watching.
Rite on , thats an old vice from back when stuff was made to last
Very very old vise.
😎👍👍👍
Thank you buddy!
I have never had one of those really thick ones.
They are really thick. Wish I could remember what it came from.
Thanks for this video brother. Really like fan motors also , I just so it different. Like your systems for all of them. My yard calls the fan motor windings #2 copper. Is it the same for you? Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and blessed.😎😎🔥🔥⛏⛏
Thank you brother!
Yes, it’s #2 copper as well at my yard.
God bless and thank you for watching.
Awesome job friend
Thank you buddy!
You are welcome 😊
What kinda sidw cutters are you using here? I need a new good pair.
Doyle is the brand. They are really nice and I highly recommend them.
Thank you for watching.
Who does like easy copper.
Easy copper, the best kind of copper lol.
Thank you for watching.
🙏👍🏻
Thank you for watching
I break them down as soon as I get them for most part I don’t take copper off it yet just out of think it’s in
Right on!
Thank you for watching buddy.
I think you can sell that copper for crafts online for more, you have to keep it on the plastic, but take everything else off, people that do jewelry or wire wrapping would probably give you a 1$ for each, as long as the wire is not cut, that's 10bucks if you have 10 of them, already in a roll and not tangled or cut and still scrap the steel and cut and loose copper...
Oh, sorry, the crafters may pay more, it also depends on the size wire and they pay for shipping too, not sure if you would make more money because of the fees on certain websites like eBay, but maybe FB online or others ways to get it sold, just a thought.
That’s a great idea. I should look into that, thank you!
Them really fat ones r hard to do like small ones I have done one that way was hard as hell to get out
Definitely some are much easier than others.
Where are you getting 4 dollars a pound for insulated copper?
I didn’t say it was $4 a pound, not sure how you came up with that. That’s clean #2 copper.
If I remember correctly it was around $3.15 a pound which was the average price in the USA at the time of making this.
11:13 you said 4.06$ for all the weight you have sorry. Nice cutting technique with the push method with the Dikes.
@@wicketandfriendsparody8068 no worries!
Thank you!
All i need is a hammer and channel locks
Cool!
Thank you for watching.

I don’t cut that little bit of copper out
I scrap it all lol
@@scrapitall200 I’m sure u don’t get as many as I do I get truck load’s of microwaves and stuff
@@hisandherscoins I’d still scrap it all 🤣
I can’t help myself lol
Don't we all like a big thick fatty motor
I like big motors and I cannot lie lol
Thank you for watching buddy.
