It's called a fire.

Yeah, that's a _great_ idea (rolls eyes).

At least that is what one of my contractor customers did to salvage the
copper.
Bought his boat with the proceeds.

Depends on how many miles of wires you're talking, but this would
be simple enough to rig something up for. Tubing, squeeze it down to
an oval, slit the tubing for a blade, and pull the wire through. No
muss, no fuss.

Thanks, Dave, I thought of something like that but just thought I'd ask
around and see if someone had actually made/bought something. I have,
probably, about 20 lbs. of the stuff.
