timster Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I wouldn't do it unless it was an old remote, but I thought I would love to grab an old unused one for the Superbowl and and snap it in half, although I can barely bend a 1/4 x 6 hex bolt.

Go Philly! ← bending strenght doesn't factor in with remote breaking...its just overall strength...i broke my cable remote a couple years ago....when i started bending last june, i could bend a 1/4" bar.

Kurt Lane Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I attempted to actully fold my old remote... it started making a bunch of crackling sounds and snaps in the plastic then i stoped. IT STILL WORKS TO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Philly! ← I have snapped my old remote in half. It actually wasn't an old remote but the TV broke so what could I do? Took me a while to do it though, as I'm not a very strong bender.

DuTCH Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Where is the respect for remote controls...Did you ever think about the fact that if there weren't remote controls everybody would probably be ten pounds lighter??? Unless you sit on your tv ofcourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Did it with an old phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonL Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Yes, I did it with a remote. I was playing around and it snapped. I had to go out right away and buy a new one, since there was no way in hell that I would change a channel by walking up to the TV and push the buttons..

twig Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Did it with an old phone. ← I've done it with other peoples phones. One thing that really p*sses me off is people that chat loudly on their phones in the cinema (movie theatre!), so I've started breaking their phones if the won't hang up when they're told to, I must've done it half a dozen times now, I've even started varying technique! I use both the standard DO fold, and also a twisting motion which shears the phone-you get a lot more debris with that one. One day I'm going to get into trouble for it, but they don't complain to ME much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
