This was mostly for fun, but also a little for science. #shorts

What happens here

Following the hammer test, the presenter employs a pry bar to further challenge the joint's integrity. He wedges the claw end of the pry bar into a crevice of the joint and applies significant leverage. He also uses the hammer to drive the pry bar into the joint, attempting to force a separation by applying both concentrated impact and bending stress. Despite these efforts, the joint visibly bends and deforms but largely remains connected.

Goal: Use a pry bar, potentially assisted by a hammer, to apply substantial leverage and force to the PVC joint, attempting to pry it apart.
