    Happy fourth Mike, on that six battery charger unit go grab a can of Brasso and a acid brush. Work it well into the contacts, with a spray bottle of water, with the unit upside down or better yet unscrew it and clean it that way from the bottom. Easy $50 I’ve been watching your scavenging for about a year. i’m in my mid-70s and a retired mechanical and electrical engineer. I love watching what you pick up and think that the items are I recognize probably 95 to 98% of the items. 25 year old history at a Children’s Hospital as the rehab engineer manager. The vacuum pumps that you uncover make excellent refrigeration evacuation pumps. All you need is the gauges and Wala an easy hundred dollars! pool acid and rust gone and 30 seconds. Coat with WD-40 and you have a perfectly working item. HAPPY SCAVENGING

    Dang Mike, you're the hardest working man I've seen in a long time. There's nothing you won't do for some extra money and content for your videos, jumping in the nastiest dumpsters and lifting items that should take at least two grown men. Heck, you work harder in an afternoon than my husband does all month! And he makes bank as a blackjack dealer, and whines if he has to work his entire 8 hour shift (with a half hour break every two hours) 🙄 life isn't fair, or you and the girls would be living in your dream home on some acreage.
    Enjoy the 4th, and cuddle with the little ones that don't like the celebration nearly as much as the humans do. Cheers 🍻
    I 💙 MTS! 🐼💪🧦🐶🐶

    Question for you Mike. The central air units. They are aluminum copper rads. You cut the copper noodles off the outside of them. Then pull the steel plate off. That's a clean ACR. Did I hear you right, that your scrap yard don't buy them? Up here in Pennsylvania. We get good money for clean ACR's. If they don't buy them. You are getting screwed over on good money. Just wanted to let you know. Love your videos. Glad to see that you scrap out everything. Just like I do. Stay safe and keep em coming.

As for the air /con I say cut it up and squash it/crush it then it's not as a perceived air/con part just scrap ally . Cheers👍👍👍😎💨🏴‍☠☮☮

    immerse rusted iron pieces (like the hammer you showed) in vinegar, salt, liquid soap solution for about 4-5 days. Every spec of rust will go away, looks brand new and you can just spray paint it and use it for years.
