Scrapping power supply adapter heads: small items worth BIG PROFIT!!

As an amateur repair tech, this is was a very difficult video to watch. However the idea of reusing these materials is invaluable. Good show!

I use the very small wire for embroidery, crochet and knitting jewelry, but I only take apart one at a time because I don't need it to tangle before it gets used. I'm glad someone like you knows what they are doing with the rest

It is great to see someone so enthusiastic to share knowledge! Thanks!🌞

Great video! I’ve been scrapping for a long time. I am a contractor so I get loads of wire and pipe/brass fittings. I love taking apart TVs for the copper and gold. Computers are fun too! AC adapters are one thing that I often overlook, so I am grateful for this video! Thanks!!

Dude... you're my hero. I've been telling everyone there's a reason I save all my junk?!

Thanks for this! I see these disposed of all the time. Searching the rest of your videos for more great tips!

A lot of people miss out on wall warts. Thanks for letting them know what the value is in them. I'm lazy, I just cut the wire on both sides and pull it out. Then pull plastic out & toss steel into shred bucket. It also lets me know whether it's copper or aluminum. About 90% are copper but I run into Alum every so often. I strip the wire from cords like that. Fairly easy to do. The insulation is really thin. So I slice it a little, then pull the wire through the insulation. It's nice purty #2. The ends, I take a hammer too, I can usually hammer the little brass piece out. I usually just hammer the plug ends out also. Either over a vice and pop them out or on back of vice and smash it. Either way it comes out real quick.

You're doing good work for the planet recycling valuable and important metal resources

Great tips. Happy Sunday!

Thx for the info! I just found your channel & I’m subscribing! I have several 5-gallon buckets of plugs & electronic adapters, so I appreciate the info on how to process these!

Some of the best silver contacts I've found in those.

I am ahead of the game. Had to buy a security bit set this past summer because my license plate is held on with security screws. Love videos like this because I became a full time scrapper (due to heath realted to an MVI) and knowledge like this determines weither I eat bologna or steak!! AWESOME VIDEO!! CHEERS!!

WOW therapeutic scrapping, I like it. Great video on the small power units for electronic devices. I am going to check on those security wrenches. 😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

I never thought of that, I have an uncle that was a hoarder, and he had an entire tote full of adapters, some of which are for antique machines. Between selling the antique ones and scrapping the others, I may have a few dollars in there. Thanks for the information.

I like your trick using the the claw end if the hammer to help separate those metal plates. I use a rough edge of a file to work them loose but it really puts a strain on the hands. I’ll definitely try your method

Final breakdown compared to about $1.85 as is: 13 lbs tin ($1.30), 5 oz. brass ($ 0.94), 14 oz ewaste ($0.04), and 3.7 lbs #2 copper ( $14.48) = $16.76 profit. It too, me about 25 minutes to do.

Glad you resell the working ones. If folks can lot them up we buy them at a wholesale sale price. Be surprised what adapter folks buy off eBay. Thanks for sharing the break down

You're a very good teacher, love your work

My favorite scrapper on YouTube

I have slowed down on scrapping. I did not take the time to tear apart transformers. Now that I have smaller items and price is up it seems like a great idea. I get those all the time. I like how you get the most out of the wall transformers. It good to break the Item down in price. Some of the prices we pay for new ones is around $150.00. I would think you might be able to sell some. The ones that we get sometimes have a brown band from use. Those would have to be scrapped. I am sure most of them are barely used. Thanks for the tip. Keep on dropping that coin in the piggy bank. It sure adds up after a while.
