    I like stripping wire. Good way to turn watching TV into a paid activity. Keeps the wife happier too. She can watch whatever she wants since I'm not paying full attention anyways. Lol. And nothing beats the check when you turn in a big pile of bare bright, except maybe turning it in 2 years ago.

    Lol ppl say to me its not worth your time stopping it all I had 9kg of 3 core armour cable after an hour of stripping had just over 1.5kg of bright copper now to most its not worth the Hassel but I've got a large bucket that's filling up very nicely for when the price goes back up.

    My wife falls asleep on the sofa so I just get stuck into the wire but I'm running out of the stuff fast so maybe looking into buying it in.
