A buddy of mine is an electrician and he just puts a razor blade in some vice grips and goes to town. They pay 2.50 around here for clean copper. Hell it's a fee pack of beer/cigs/sack whatever floats your boat. We still havent found a better way of doing it. Besides burnin and then sticking it in some sort of cleaner, and we've been doing this for months now heh.

they do that here too. we have the big windfarms up on the hill(huge windmills that create electricity), and when they were being built people were running up there and stripping the ---- out of them...

good money considering 1 blade is longer than your standard semi-truck/trailer, and they stand probably 300ft tall. lots of wire in them bitches...

i would use a vise and a utility blade and just hold each end of the wire and wear gloves dumbass. should work but short ones mite be tricky with gloves on lol
