Recycling a dryer. (violently)

I'm betting I could be done right about the part he's bashing the motor out. Not sure.

And no sliced open forearm from yanking on wires right next to a jagged sheet metal panel.

me yep, I was thinking the same thing. A drill with the right sized bit and 30 seconds later the back is off

when i get back to the states i'll try to find 2 dryers to take apart right next to each other and race myself using the two different methods. generally when i'm just trying to take one apart as quick as possible it takes me like 30 seconds. but i get nervous in front of the camera sometimes. I personally like the splitting maul better. gets rid of stress and i don't got to look for it or charge it. its always there ready to go. but i do understand why some would go for the impact driver.
On a side note, i generally only slice my hands and arms up taking apart computers. never really cut myself too bad on a dryer yet.
