It's just what the thread title says- is there a fast n' easy way to crack a torso if you're just doing so to get the arms and are planning on tossing the torso in the garbage afterwards? Or would I just use the other methods that one would normally use anyway (vice+sock, etc)?
I was just wondring if most regular torso-splitting methods were used to preserve the torso first and foremost...but if that wasn't a consideration, there might be some other way that's a bit simpler. I just want a quick, brutal way to get those arms with as little fuss as possible. Thanks!

Screwdriver (flathead) and a hammer.

The vice really is the most effective. Like you though, I've had a few fodder figs I just wanted the arms from, so I took a medium/small flat head screwdriver in between the chest and stomach opening and pry up until it pops off. From that point you can stick to screwdrivers in and pry it open, or just take an exact o knife up the sides to the armpits. Just a quick way that worked for me.

This is what I do on all torso splits. If done right, it leaves little or no damage and most will split with one or two hits.

So now that we've had a couple legit answers, can I start in with the snarky ones that aren't all that helpful?
I'd suggest dual AA-12 shotguns on full auto for maximum effect: /Have nice day |

Get a pair of channel locks and a sock, same principle as the vise method. Works pretty quickly also

Vise grip pliers, wrap the body in a sock and crush it. Usually the torso comes out just fine though.
