How To Scrap Power Adapters What's Inside 

Stripping Adapters for Transformers and stripping Transformers for Copper-Copper using that Machete - wow - that works so very well - You told us about a Machete many Times and now we can see how easy it is ! You even got some nice Brass - it all adds up ! Thank You also for Your Explanations ! Canada should have these Metal Recycling Places to extract Copper - Alu - S/S - Gold - Silver etc,etc - why always China - why cant we do it in our own Countries ! We know the Answer - but don't want to get Political ! Canada and Australia and other Countries send Medical Wastes included in the Recycling Containers !!!! Yes 1/2 Pound is 1/2 Pound and Your Copper Container is filling up - we love Your Sessions and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

Hi Phil another great video Nice Content always enjoy your hard Work stay safe out there bro Regard to your family

The three pinned plug is from the uk and the plastic part is a safety future.so kids can't put objects into the electric socket.👍

Great teaching video along with bumper lol. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🥰🤗

Good job x

Definitely adds up, time consuming tho, nice information phill

Great video

talking about emty containers, thats why it takes months to get an item to arrive. they wait til its full.. so ya order in july get it by december!! haha

I have always thought that they were worth the effort to clean them but I sit on my copper and brass until the price is right thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother

Good info on these small transformers. I just scrap everything. I subbed.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Good video! 👍👍😎

💪😁

I scrap those by cutting wire throw in adapters w/ nowire barrel when I have a Gaylord of them they go in for 20 cents a pound with other better ewaste. Easy peasy.

I've got bout 250 of those right now. I only break open the heavier ones with the transformers. I get a pickup truck bed load of them with the wire. Every couple of weeks.

Great Video I save all the fat plugs got a few buckets of all different kinds! CheeRs

I'm sorry, but you tried to justify the money you were getting for the effort. Let's see, $2 Canadian for a video that took approximately 18 minutes. This is nowhere close to minimum wage in the U.S. I'd look for something else. Frankly, I'd take the transformers as they are and sell them without breaking them apart. Also, the time spent breaking off the little brass pins doesn't seem to be worth it or even close. It takes a whole lot of them to even get a single pound worth. I've noticed many videos where the author says "it all adds up". But, I suggest to revising that to "it all adds up to a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of money for the time spent." If you are doing this as a hobby and don't care how much you make, have at it. If you want to be paid fairly for your time and car expenses, I'd absolutely pass on much of this. Something that could probably be worth the time to take apart is Romex wire to remove the bare bright copper. (You want to check ahead of time to make sure that scrap yards won't require you to have a business license to sell bare bright copper.) That I feel would pay much more per hour than taking apart adapters/transformers. Good luck to all in their future scrapping endeavors. Thanks for taking the time to make this RU-vid video!

I like your "How To" videos. I will keep my eye open for the heavy Adapters.

Wow ese machete si que es bien forjado !!!! Auque lo dejaría que se descargue a la luz de la luna !!!! 😰

Cheers buddy if ya find those laptop chargers with the cord intact, they will sell on eBay or marketplace for a quick 20 for sure. I just got in from a crappy load headed out for more vid to come in am! 🍻

All that work for 2 bucks. Nope

What do you do with the plastic case leftovers? Thanks

Unless you have a vast endless supply of those ac/dc transformers the scrap value is VERY minimal. I will say it was interesting to see how they were built though.

👍

A long time back I remember ewaste ben saying any adoptor above 6v is considered as transformers. However looking at this video, I realize this stripping is worth its money. For short time with little effort, you get copper, brass and sheet. A nice video.

Hi Phil, great video, very informative, just love your videos. Stay safe

Tripple M here in Kitchener is buying Number 1 bright for $4.71 ight now Jan 10th 2023. Highest I have seen it.

I’m glad I watched I was really beating myself up trying to get those apart. Using the hammer all wrong. Thanks 👍.

I turned some in today for .23 a pound .

I have a spare big kitchen knife thats not usable anymore in the kitchen. A viable option instead of a machette?

I save all my little transformer then take apart a bunch I got 8lbs last time I stripped them definitely worth I think there fun to strip

For the time it took you to do that, you could have spent the same time striping microwave or larger transformers, and actually made some money!

If you take the block and put it in the vise right below the seem and crank, it will pop like a lid

👍👍🙂🇨🇦🔨🪓🧲

I can’t wait to do mine now. I have over 100 of them

I hear you Phil, my yard used to buy them as a copper bearing electric motor, now they don't

Love scrapping these 👍🏼 lots of goodies

I’m retired and if I intend to strip it I want it all.✌️

Great way to start the day great video phil

Dobra robota 👍pozdrawiam z Polski👍

Hi Phil Very interesting vid.Enjoyed it very much.Keep up the good work.Thx

I like the chunky square ones with the single transformer. The low grade board ones I might take off the smaller ones and put them with the motors and transformers I don’t take apart.

👍🇰🇼❤️
