    Totally awesome, scrapping that air compressor really paid. Almost 5 times the shred price for the whole thing. Take care my friend and stay safe, May God bless you and your family also in the many adventures that you take. See you on the next video.

    Coincidentally, I have 2 of them in my pile. One was only missing the quick connect at the tank and seems to be perfectly functional. I'm going to look up exploding air compressor now.....
    The second one, I still haven't plugged in yet but if there's 3lbs of copper in em, shoot......
    Both are smaller ones though. A little pancake and a lil 2 gal with tanks like the one in this video had.
    Getting a nice pile of copper motors building up as well and a couple more might be just as good

      Yeah grinders can be quite dangerous, not to mention the copper dust is very unhealthy to inhale.
      Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it.
      I sure do love scrapping it all, it’s a lot of fun.

    You don't need to remove that string and tape binding off the copper winding?
    It's a nuisance getting that stuff off.
    I enjoy watching others dismantling stuff. This was a good harvest.
    Tried the boiling method on some plugs and it worked a treat mostly besides some stubborn ones. I used the boiling water from my pasta!

    Hi, new here, I have 2 questions, what do you do for your main job? And do you figure in the cost of the item you’re scraping? My 4 year old grandson loves to watch things taken apart, you’re a wholesome channel that I can let him watch. Thank you for that. God bless you.

    • @scrapitall200

      Hello there, I’m happy to have you here and I think that is so neat about your grandson.
      I used to do a little bit of everything from lawn care to fixing cars and a little bit of construction. Now I’m mostly a full time RUclipsr but I still do odd jobs to help out certain folk.
      I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking about figuring in the cost of what I’m scrapping. I get all my scrap for free.

      Oh, so the initial cost of the air compressor, in this case, is $0. I wondered because I’m going to thrift stores with my grandson hoping to find things for him to take apart. Otherwise he and his tool set starts taking things apart that he’s not supposed to. One morning I was out of the room for about 10 minutes. I thought he was too quiet he had taken the cable router apart. Luckily it was one that wasn’t working. He’s really very curious and extremely smart. 2 wonderful traits. I guess I just really need to find free stuff. Have a blessed day.

      Garbage sales or even thrift stores can be a place to find really cheap stuff that can be worth scrapping even if you have to pay a little money, especially if it’s just providing stuff for him to take apart.
      Thank you and you too have a blessed day.

    I've gotten these things before, is there any worry that the tank is pressurized, that is full of air? I don't want to mess with that, typically I just want the electric motor. But I end up tossing the entire thing into tin shred, cuz I'm worried some prankster juiced it full of pressurized air, and I don't want it to pop, or anything while I'm trying to get the motor.

    • @scrapitall200
      @scrapitall200  7 месяцев назад +4

      One of the brass pieces I removed, the one that had a steel ring on it, that’s a pressure release valve, you just pull on it and it’ll drain all the air or you can open both petcocks, that’ll drain the air as well. Just look at the pressure gauge and it’ll tell you how many psi of air is in the tanks.

    You report to us in US pounds and ounces, which is great. But does your scrap yard pay for fractions of a pound? For example my yard reports on the reciept my metals weight in pounds, and no fractions. And they calculate my payment using whole pounds. So I am thinking that I should weigh my copper and brass before hand, and turn in just over whole pound amounts so I am not giving away the fractional weight.

    • @scrapitall200
      @scrapitall200  7 месяцев назад

      The yard I sell brass and copper to they weigh in pounds and ounces but for everything else, they’ll either round up or down.
      I would suggest you weigh your copper and brass before selling it, that way you’ll know what you have.
      Each scrap yard sort of does things their own way, so try to get to know yours and don’t hesitate to ask them questions.
