Most categories of cables and cords actually vary considerably withing those categories. For example two power cords might look the same, but one has paper or synthetic cordage run with it. You can also find tin plated appliance cords.

Do u have a video that shows wat makes copper #1 or #2 or #3

[anthonycolangeli]

Should you cut the plug ends and other types of ends or just leave as is? Thanks so much.

One time I found some old wire that when you strip the outer layer off there was a brass wrapping covered in glue. I never seen anything like it before and I been scrapping all my life.

So would you not strip the power cord and or CAT wire in general or unless you have a machine to do it to cut the time??

[jeffreyczerwinski]

So, it's a good idea/practice to cut all the plug ends off power cords and other wires that have a connectors?

[warpoet]

So if I strip 2/0-3/0-4/0 to bare copper do I need to untwist the strands ? Does that help any ? Someone told me that untwisting it makes it more acceptable 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[jasonsliger]

So appliance power cords need to be separated from extension cords?

[charleszohfeld]

Can you walk us through the process of how to start our own scrapyard with permits EPA things of that nature

[diymaster]

Here where I’m from, any piece of cable or any metal even the smallest cable will be striped when I mean the smallest cable I mean like ear phone cables and if below the kg they well sell it by the gram nothing goes to waste here even if it had to go to waste there will be someone that will pick it up.

Does melting the insulation off the copper work?

[tata]

What would 14awg stranded thhn insulated wire be graded as?

I'm from India how can I buy this

[strugglingparodox]

I don’t get wire often, and a lot often. I strip every bit I can. Power cords aren’t that hard to do. The Ethernet cables, , cut the ends, cut 3 inches into the outer sheets, , you should be able to pull all the small lines out within seconds. I’d say, it should give a better price just eliminating that, , it’s really easy to do.
