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

not string enough? I have a pile of old HDs awaiting destruction.

THe alternative is my press, which is more of a PITA.

Thanks

Drill a hole through the critter and shatter the platters.

If I had a bunch I'd make up a quick set of 1/4 or 1/8 inch punches
for my dake arbor press, set up like a spot welder- hold the platter
between the punches, pull the lever until you hear "crunch", repeat.

Of course you can never have enough head control magnets...
