Reply:Almost look like fuses of some sort or a flexible electrical cable, a vibration isolation cable???. If you've got 2000 lbs worth a lot of it looks like copper, major $$$$.....MIke

Like combining several heavy welding leads together in a single cable. They're flexible for attaching welding transformers or a power source to the apparatus since it generally moves when the weld is being made.The spot welders in the GM plant I worked in had some shunt cables on them better than 2" in diameter. We were spot welding panels for the entire underbody of the car. Almost everything was done robotically.Scrap em. You'll get a ton of money out of them. Most likely get number 1 copper for them in most cases if you strip the insulation covering off. Hopefully you didn't pay much for them
