Fraggin Wall Hammer

I think I posted this question somewhere, onetime before...
Does anybody have any good tips for fraggin a wall hammer?
I have a large one that I want to sell but is too big to ship.
Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

One way that i have heard of it to put a wide rubberband around the area you want to frag that will kill off the area under the rubberband with out hurting anything else... wait a couple weeks then use a dremel tool on the area that you had the rubberband on...

I'll try it... The hunt is on for wide rubber bands. Maybe I could use the ones that are used for bundling produce together.

Thanks
