I have a little industrial demagnetizer from a grinding shop. Can this

THe alternative is my press, which is more of a PITA.
Thanks
Not nearly strong enough for succesful erasure. Severe mechanical

A pickaxe stroke strong enough to both penetrate and
mechanically distort the disk platter is a good start.
CD / DVD destruction is much easier see
