Chris Hackett (born April 15, 1972), is an artist, television presenter, writer, fabricator and instructor.

In 2017 Hackett was featured as one of ten contestants on the TV show MythBusters: The Search which aired in early 2017 on the Science Channel.

In early 2010, he appeared on the Discovery Channel Canada show Breaking Point[7] alongside Jonathan Tippett.

In each episode, the guys would investigate the limits of large scale everyday objects, such as armored limos, lobster boats, fuel tankers, buses, and more.

Hackett would turn the everyday trash, or "obtainium", as he calls it, that was left at the location into unexpected, functioning machines or mechanisms.
