Assessing Your Wire Stripping Needs<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
To start, you will need a type of tool for stripping wire. Most people simply use wire strippers, however, these tools come in a wide range of sizes and prices. You can get a cheap one that works just fine, or a heavy duty one as much as $500 or more. So, before you go out and purchase a new wire stripping tool, first determine how much copper wire you plan on stripping, now and in the future. This will tell you which type of tool will meet your scrapping needs best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
100 Pounds or Less Per Month =<\/strong> Pliers or Handheld Stripper<\/p>\n\n\n\n More Than 100 Pounds Per Month =<\/strong> A Tabletop Wire Stripper<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1000 Pounds or More Per Month =<\/strong> Electric Wire Strippers<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of these tools can be found at your local home improvement\nor hardware store. Prices vary depending on retailer, brand, make, model, and more.\nTalk to a sales representative for a brief description on the best practices\nfor using the tool you choose for your metal scrapping projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When hand-stripping, many people might recommend applying heat to the wiring to make the insulation more pliable, and therefore, easier to remove. However, take note that you should NEVER BURN<\/strong> copper wiring to make removal easier. This will only serve to injure you and damage the integrity of the ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, use the natural sun to soften the outer insulation.\nSimply place your copper wiring outdoors in the sunshine, and leave it there\nduring the warmest and sunniest parts of the day. Before the sun sets, collect\nyour wiring and begin your hand stripping while they are at their most pliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are dealing with bulk copper wiring, and choose to procure\na tabletop stripping machine, be sure you read through the manual and learn how\nto use it before getting started. Without the proper mechanical knowledge, you\ncan potentially injure or maim yourself. You can find further tutorials on\nusing such machines, online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Call Garden City Iron & Metal at 1-888-586-5322<\/strong> to sell scrap copper for cash in Central and Southern Indiana.
