So I know I won't get a lot of return on my time but I have access to a lot of scrap cars so I think it would just be a complete waste to let them go to the scrap yard with the big wire still in the car so I need some advice from the pros. Even if I don't get the small wire and just focus on the good size leads for the positive and negative on the battery I need some advice on the best brand of cutters so that I can just reach in and get as close as possible to the starter and sever the cable. I assume I'm looking for some that are 1-2 feet long and work on the shearing method. Also here goes another lame search for the best motorized wire stripper. Can be either a drill or a electric motor that comes on the unit. Last but not least am I correct in thinking that the time it takes to pull the smaller gauge wire isn't worth it? Thanx for any and all tips you guys can share.
