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.

Nope, the slab was from an old crumbling stone barbecue that we had torn down.

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

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.

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.
