Claim:
A scrapping machine equipped with a hydraulic-actuated arm and boom assembly which is mounted on an automotive vehicle so as to be vertically tiltable and horizontally swivelable, a power-driven nibbling pincher for scrapping work mounted to a tip of the arm and boom assembly so as to be operable through a remote control, a support-block mounted at a front or rear of the vehicle so as to be vertically tiltable, and a pair of right and left power-driven clamp arms supported by the support block respectively with a pair of pivot support pins for a horizontal swing motion, wherein the scrapping machine comprises: a peeling tool adapted to clamp a covered electric wire to be scrapped from a periphery thereof by a closing motion of the clamp arms and to slash and peel off an outer sheath of the clamped covered electric wire in accordance with a drawing operation of a core wire of the clamped covered electric wire with the nibbling pincher mounted on the tip of the hydraulic-actuated arm and boom assembly, wherein the peeling tool is formed with two halves opposing each other and supported by the clamp arms respectively so that the two halves meet each other and separate from each other through an opening and closing motion of the clamp arms, and wherein at least one of the two halves is provided with at least one protruding bite blade adapted to penetrate at least partially into the outer sheath of the covered electric wire clamped in between when the two halves meet each other.
