Hi Ian, I've just watched Ben Houghton take a compressor to bit on KZfaq, it took him 25mins. I watched you take it to bits and you make it look so easy. Also I think the compressor he had was half the size. I have followed your method and think it worth taking to bits.

Your like a hunter that uses every part of the animal not letting anything go to waste. Great job

Good video...Love listening to different accents....Being a semi retired HVAC/Appliance repairman, I accumulate this sort of scrap, and this shows, it is worth while to tear it down before just tossing the whole thing in the scrap pile....Keeps the oil out of the environment too and it's a wax free oil...No gumming up what ever you use it one...My thanks to the gent that made this.

What a good straight forward video, watched a few people try to put one up but they always made it seem so difficult. You just have to be handy and know what your doing. Thanks great info and advice

I learn so much from watching you vids. Thanks for posting

Excellent. I like the way you reused the oil and kept the small parts and nuts and bolts.

sometimes you pick up one good tip from a video this is one of those . thanks for sharing

It was worth staying to the end my friend, I like to save all those little things to! Great video!

Plus thank you for your information I love the way you knock those wires out of there thank you

Thank you for the explanation. I roughly know now how our fridge works.

You are the first scrapper on youtube to wear safety equipment! Good job to you sir!

Man that thing with the hammer was awsome!!! It took 5 sec to get rest of the copper form motor! Thanks man!

I like the hammer and plier technique on the copper pull.

all this time i been stripping the plugs and wires on the fridges and old cars for copper,, there are 300 fridges and deep freezers at the dump by my town,,,, i'm rich ,, thank you for the video

SUPER great video. thank you for taking it to "bits"

That was cool the first one of those I've saw. Way to go Ian. Have a good one and Thanks for sharing. 🎄😂👍👍👍🤗

Hello from Montreal Canada 🍁 beautiful work 😃❤️👊

Definitely worth staying till the end! Love to see how things work.

Ironically - watching vids like these have also taught me how to repair a few things too. Just have to pay attention to details.

Best scrap video on youtube. Finally someone who appreciates finding out how thi is work.

Brilliant, the way you plucked the copper out of the motor cage!

glad I found this. Wonderfully informative video

Your funny, nice and easy to watch, thanks.

Nicely made video. Educational and entertaining

Nice one Ian, was a great video mate 😀 anyone watching, don't forget to separate cast iron from steel as it's worth more and separate steel's into light and heavy. Plus a bucket for your aluminium which is about 50p kilo 😀 if you can break a motor in 30 mins you making £12 an hour for your time plus the £4 you would have sold it for as is. Sweet 😁

I'm convinced. Made it look easy

Very good video mate well done!👍

I never cut these open before i saw this and having done so id say its worth it too. Thank you for sharing this

HANDS DOWN GAME OVER . YOU ARE THE MAN! THANK YOU!

Thank you very much for explaining that the way you did I do appreciated it and thanks once again.

G’day mate Top video there What a great little motor that we take for granted. Now to take what you shared in your lesson and put that scrap towards some cold beer in the fridge👍🏻👍🏻 All the best.

My father in law is a scrapper and I showed him this video. He never cut compressors open or the cores the of magnetrons but he is going to now after seeing inside of them. I think he would be hooked on your videos if he had internet data limit that allowed him to. Have a great day!

You change the game for me... Thank you!

Well done, and thank you for the pump - I am delving in to metal scrap art. Thank you! 🤠👍

SWEET VIDEO!! I've got 6 of these just waiting for me to cut into them! :)

This made me think of a recent video I watched, fridge compressor converted into 2 stroke engine!....worth watching 😉👍

Great videos thanks for tips and advice

Didn't expect the oil to be so clean!!! :O

lol i like that the answer is in the title good job ian

you make that look too easy, great video

Thank you handy save me some time, enjoyed your straight to business approach 👍👍

Great informative video...thanks for sharing

Interesting video mate. The black shell would make a great centre for a large Tie-fighter model. Be good for a piece of yard art.

4:32 After watching a dozen videos of scrappers trying to cut or press the copper wire out of these kinds of motors, you sir officially win the internet.

Glad someone is recycling the scrap metal.Good chunk of copper in there!

This is what I call useful video

I do the same thing but I dont take it that far apart but never the less its a good learning video for beginners

Squeezing every penny out. Good job mate. Cheers

So much fun to watch.

thanks Ian nice video and I learned how to take the copper out the easy way . I was doing it the hard way.

Very informative. thank you

I like the way the video is done. Kept me interested

GREAT VIDEO

Tank you for you uitleg groet, Maarten from Nijmegen NL.

Thanks, I have two old fridges I'm about to open 😂😊😊

First time I tried taking the copper out of one of these it was an hour of pure cancer. After watching this, it was easy and quick.

WOW GOOD VIDEO Thx Ed Loretto Ontario Canada

I've salvaged some nice short lengths of hardened and ground drill rod from high pressure washers, they make great tooling setup references being as they are so precise and concentric, dowel pins by any other name I guess. Enjoying your journeys too.☺

Nice vid! I agree it's almost always worth it to separate your scrap.

Very insightful

That was an interesting one but Ian wanted to show the rest of the KZfaq community more well done Ian hat off to you my friend

Thanks 4 the upload

Good video I enjoyed it

I always wanted to know what was in those motors. Thank you!

Отличный способ разборки, с меня лайк.

very informative

Nice video.

Great video.

Good job Ian, I had always wondered what was inside them that makes the scrappers rip the motors out and leave the fridge carcasses on peoples gardens! Stripped out they become worth a few bob! 👍 #32

Very useful for me .

Good job , Ian. I always wanted to know what is inside one of those. Thank you.

awsome video

I was here for the money, stayed for the knowledge!

Good job

More useful as a shop air compressor than for scrap. Many of these put out over 500 psi, great for air cannons and other projects. Could easily be sold on Ebay for more than 20 Euro if it works.

Damn wish I'd seen this before I took my fridge to the dump. Nice to see a uk vid on here for a change. I'm from north wales and recently started hobby smelting

Some scrap yards call the bright copper, copper windings instead... I striped out loads and got stung at the scrap yard. Also, I went through lots of grinding disks so I just broke even.... Never went back to the place. My experience was that you have to spend your time doing what makes the most return. So I left motors intact, didn't strip cables and just collected... Made more doing less.... Funny business. Good video pal. Well done

Great Video, awesome copper removal /cheers

you made it so easy i dont know ??? i have to FIGHT with the compressor motors LOL

Merci, très bon à savoir.

New friend here love ur channel

At :10 "As they say, waste not, want not" and I say oils well that ends well. "You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead" (Stan Laurel)

Neat stuff, maybe I will tear the compressors apart from now on. Thanks

Just bought grinder and opened the compressor today definitely worth it the experience the scrap value is just bonus

Nice to see a UK scrapper with character lol

Now I know where I missed money. Thanks

Good one!

Just looking at the old videos

What you get now? That's definitely worth the time to tear these down. I assume a freezer/AC compressor would be about the same, depending on the size. I guess pumping oil would keep everything in pretty nice shape in there. Great video. Nice chat today.

awesome

the was first class

Mountain Springs and Two Chinese daughters of copper i had to turn the volume back up subtitles did you no justice LOL

Nice video. Dang didn’t know how long you been on here

Hello Ian. Haven't seen too many of your videos lately. I remember bringing home two of those compressors on the bike once only to find out my scrap yard doesn't take them. I never strip motors.

That is a easier way of doing it...thank you for the idea

I guess i need to learn brittan to understand. 😉

interesting video Ian. I have a similar compressor motor I removed from a fridge and enjoyed seeing what is inside it but after watching your video I don't think it is worth stripping in my case due to current scrap prices here in Sydney. A scrap motor is 60c a kilo while a kilo of copper winding is $6-$7. Obviously selling as is would be $6 so hardly worth the work to disassemble for an extra dollar at most. Thank you for saving me the time I would have spent to break it down not knowing the amount of copper inside. Cheers.

Wow this is a really good video! so is the part you cut off .. on the casing .. is that steel? the first cut.. and I love the magnet on the stick... I had not seen that before.. :) all the little bits and pieces for art... see that's what I love!

Dang ! An I scrapped a small fridge last year and didn't realize all that was in there.
