What Tool(s) To Use To Crush Ice Cubes Fast

I can put ice cubes into a plastic bag and swing it down to the
floor. It works -- one big problem -- the second swing breaks the
plastic bag. I put heavy nuts (nut and bolt nuts) into a container
and shook the container. This barely works at all. I bought an
expensive blender. The shaft broke inside where it cannot be gotten
to. I have run the cubes under that tap. This works fast but I don't
like having to make twice the ice. -------- One of you has an idea of
something I can put on the kitchen counter or on the garage work bench
and crush 10 or 12 cubes of ice with one pull of a lever or one blow
of a hammer or some thing-a-ma-bob I can by in hardware or automotive
store. Please give me your ideas even if you haven't had time to
prove them. I would really appreciate it. R E Williams, Surrey,

For openers, what are you planning to dilute with that ice...if it is
scotch, you will be shot at dawn.
Besides, ice cubes are made from water and fish copulate in that
stuff.

IF you must use a splash of water to 'wake up' a dram of single malt,
only use water from a stream filtered through the panties of a
Newfoundland virgin and they are becoming exceedingly difficult to
find; maybe the ugliest girl in grade 4?

DAGS for "Ice Crusher." I've got a manual model that was old when I got
it but works great. If you turn the handle one way, it produces fine
(1/4") ice. Turned the other way, it produces coarse (3/8") ice that
actually works better for cooling drinks.

It's not as quick as one pull, but it's fast enough.

Double duty option: A snow cone machine will crush any shaped ice,
for whatever your need is. Beyond your needs, it's a hit with the
kids, too.... mine is used at the family reunions. Many flavors of
syrup can be bought at any major grocery store, in the KoolAid
department.
