goggles are better, and ear plugs are essential.


Also, a 12 pound long-shaft sledge hammer is the ideal tool.

Another tip: Hire guys who know what they're doing. Not guys who reinstall the old toilet and steal the new one.

Why are you demolishing a toilet with a sledge hammer?? When you can loosen 2 closet bolts & 2 bolts holding the tank to the bowl and can carry it out easily? You beat on stuff that you can't easily carry, like an old cast iron tub.

I usually break the toilet at the junk yard by throwing it from the bed of a pickup truck.
