We Scrapped all the Scrap Metal on a Farm! - Estate Sale Cleanup
Рет қаралды 45,080
2 жыл бұрынScrap metal adventure so big we had to get help! These estate sales have been pretty awesome opportunities for big piles of scrap, and this may have been the best one yet. Between the cars and the farm equipment though, we may have bitten off more than we could handle!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3jrO2iS
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
This is the cheaper version: amzn.to/2SwrYsB
And here are those grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl
(If you make a purchase on amazon through the links above, a small amount of what amazon makes on the sale is shared with me. It's a great way to help support my channel, at no additional cost to you. Even if you buy something other than my tool recommendations!)

This was my grandfather's farm, been visiting there since I was a kid. (The swings at the end of the video was one of the favorites of the grandkids.) The house is pretty empty now. The video is seeing things after a lot of stuff has already been taken away, believe it or not. Even though, I'm surprised how low the total weight was.
