Putting things in a shed out of sight wouldn't work for me. I just can't seem to let things like that drop. I've been known to throw things in the trash then pull them out later when I though of another idea.
Case in point, recently I had an pneumatic brad nailer quit working. I spent hours disassembling and assembling it over and over but couldn't get it to work. Replacing it would cost $15 at Harbor Freight. Exhausted I finally went to throw it away but knowing I'd end up pulling it from the trash and wasting more time later I took that sane moment to lay it on the concrete and beat it into pieces with a sledge hammer. It took far more of a beating than I'd have imagined to crush that casing. I then turned my attention to a Porter Cable brad nailer I bought for $22.50 at an estate sale which also turned out to be broken. I started disassembly and found some plastic parts inside were crumbling apart like a sandcastle would--just a little pressure and they'd kinda mush apart. Sigh, I hate loosing money but I'm not starting this battle over on this one. I dropped it to the floor and picked up my sledge hammer. Gone in 60 seconds. I do remember being a bit ticked by how far the parts flew and having to pick them all up. :) The next day I went and got one at HF. I'm happy now. Mostly I use the nailer to staple or nail small parts that are too flimsy or light weight to withstand hammering. The air nailer is so fast even a picture frame corner doesn't have time to move when the nail/staple is shot in and I can keep one hand holding the pieces together and the other one operating the gun.
