Meat tenderizers will also work and apparently smashing the ice with a wood muddler will do.

I would like to have one of those huge wooden mallets. For now i have a manual ice crusher, these break down in 6 months here but they are also cheap. But its tiring to use when you want to make several drinks with crushed ice. I really would like a freezer with icemaker but as i live in a rented apartment you are not allowed to install anthing like that even if you could afford it. Very interesting post.
