Spent a part of the day today breaking up this big slab of concrete and hauling it off with the BX. Broke it all with my grandfather's 16 pound sledge hammer.

Well, I must admit the BX hasn't seen much work in the past few months, but I worked it good today...:thumbsup:

Looks about 8 inches, you must of got a good work out. that's about the limit for breaking a concrete slab with a sledge.

I've got a 24 pound sledge, that thing is crazy. you don't really swing it just kinda drop it. Also have a several jack hammers, my first choice :eek:

Yeah, it was thick. It was hard work, but I was actually surprised at how easy it broke. I did not think it would break at all.

24 pounds??? :confused2: I thought the 16 pound one was big. I just did a quick Google search and the biggest I could find was a 20 pound one. My dad want's a 20 pound'er...Easy for him to say, I was the one swinging the 16 pound'er all day. :D :laughing: ;)

Wow, it's been a long time since I have heard of someone swinging a big sledge hammer. I was hoping for some pics of you swinging it. :thumbsup: I used to have a 20 pounder but it disappeared a long time ago.

I'm gonna look at mine again, maybe it is only 20 lbs. have not touched it in awhile but I do know right where it is.
