Scrap Metal Equipment Reviews - What it is, How it works & FAQ

Scrap Metal Tools and Equipment Reviews (beta)

We all use tools daily in the scrap metal business, whether it's a winch, a drill, a grinder, a freon recovery machine, a wire stripper, a torch or machinery skates, they all help get the job done. This section of the forum is for members to rate and review scrap metal tools and equipment.

If you see an item listed here you have experience with, drop in and rate/review it for other members to see. Maybe it sucked, maybe it lasted you 10 years, either way here you can share your experience with others.

As a Scrap Metal Forum member, not only can you rate and review products here, but you can also submit new tools or equipment listings of your own for review at any time. For example maybe you're looking into a specific cutting torch, a wire stripper or a utility trailer? Take 2 minutes to post a review thread via the Product Submission form, and get ratings/reviews from other forum members who have experience with it.
