    Compared to .20x22=4.40
    Using those numbers, breaking down the compressor totals $7.70. Not a big difference, but it might make a difference in figuring out if it's worth it for you to do.

    Lol, thank you for not embarrassing me. My math was off!

    I would say if you can cut up 20 and remove all the copper within 1-2 time span (which seems possible) I would say that it might be worth it. Other factors will come into play such as skill and experience
