Abstract

A demolition ram, for demolishing glazing, comprises a pusher and a handle connected at its distal end to the pusher. The pusher comprises a support plate, a rubber plating on the distal surface of the support plate, and a reinforcing flange and a boss on the proximal surface of the support plate. At least one handling aperture is through the pusher. The handle has a plate at its distal end. Fasteners removably connect the plate to the boss. A handle extension can be connected to the handle. The handle at its proximal end and the handle extension each comprises a generally textured surface. The demolishing comprises pushing a subpane out of the glazing with the demolition ram by exerting a force with the handle onto the subpane through the pusher. The subpane is then allowed to fall due to its weight, and is caught with a receptacle comprising a mat.
