    If you start cutting the metal sheath, you'll see that it is wound in a spiral around the wire. You can get the end of it and start pulling, it will eventually get small enough you can pull the wire, or you will have unwrapped it all.

    Hi, what if you put it into a burn pit and made a fire. Whatever is holding it should melt or burn out. Just a thought,,, :confused::confused:

    And jack up the atmosphere, not to mention make a HUGE black smoke column in the air, making people for miles curse you out.

    Besides, you would need a hell of a fire to get the metal on it to melt.
