An awful lot of the destruction can be done with a torx screwdriver:

Step 3: take the screwdriver, lay each platter across it on the floor and stamp your foot down, hard.
Destroying the metal casing is fun but it doesn’t really do an awful lot in terms of making your bits harder to read.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 2y agoDestroying the metal casing means the whole disk takes about 10 seconds to destroy, and doesn't require a "stomp on a screwdriver" step that OSHA may not approve of. Your procedure absolutely makes sense if you have a single-digit number of drives to destroy once in a while at home, not if you have to destroy dozens regularly.
