    i just broke down like 4 vacuums and 1 of them had like a 20 or 25ft power cord. So i tossed that in my insulated copper bucket. now there waiting to be striped as soon as i can get a wire striper. and for the motors i finally got a grinder so im gonna cut into them. i like takin them apart cuz there easy to take apart especially with a electric screwdriver.

    yeah iv got like a $25 pair but i saw another wire stripper i want but kinda expensive but its drill powered and from what i understand on the youtube videos you put a nutdriver in the chuck but i gotta take some metal to the scrap yard to help pay for that. I spent the last of my money on a grinder from northern tool and from what iv done so far it awesome!!!!!! a 7" grinder electric for almost $75 so money well spent.........but thanks GeorgeB for the fyi i just got like almost half a bucket full of insulated copper wire and dont want to use the pair i got now but im not in a real big hurry to get the wire stripper until my bucket fills up and i got a long way to go.

    Your welcome. I have noticed a few different types of wire strippers myself that are used for a variety of wire. So far, I have noticed like 3 or 4 different kinds.
