I've removed many cast iron tubs and place an old wet towel over the tub before hitting with sledge hammer. keeps all the small pieces from flying all over the place and protects the person from flying debris.

If the homeowner is home when I do this I always warn them how loud breaking the tub will be. Nothing worse than a freaked out homeowner! 22 years as a building contractor has taught me a few things in human nature! Great informative video!

Are you kidding me!! Where were you 2 months ago, My wife and I took our cast iron out in one piece and it was heavy as hell!! I wish I saw your video. It would of been so much easier. Thanks so much for making this.

My favorite part (due to empathy/shared experience): the caption “I’m a tired old man”.

Thanks for the video. Just one comment: If you put a heavy blanket over the tub before you hit it with a sledge hammer, that should prevent most of the flying broken parts.

appreciate your demo! I have to say that I got a good chuckle when the head of the sledgehammer fell off and you had to borrow the homeowners tool to finish off the job! That was awesome.

Fantastic video my friend, thank you for the help. Got mine out in under 90 minutes today. Obviously it's a pretty straight forward process, but this video really helped reassure me that it's definitely a do it yourself job. Cheers to you and yours!🍻

I watched your video and then went to do the same thing, never done it before, it took me about 5 minutes to knock it all out and even in half pieces it was very heavy to remove, I could only push it out of the house, so glad this beast is out :- ) thanks for the tips!!

Good video. I went the sledgehammer route in another house. I of course had eye, face, ear and hand protection. BUT I was wearing shorts. After a few hits I look down and my legs were covered in blood. The porcelain becomes shrapnel so sharp I didn't feel it cutting me. Use a grinder!
