Pretty much it, pick up a cheap diamond blade or a big stone cutting blade for the edges, and just keep chipping away at it, sledgehammer won't really touch it, wasted efforts. Maybe best to hire a small concrete breaker for the day.

Still worth starting the cut with an angle grinder IMO.

Dont hire a small concrete breaker get the big Bosch bugger - its hard to handle but boy does it do the job !

Nice one. Stihl saws are so useful when they're around, use it for everything at work haha, bloody noisy though and drink fuel like there's no tomorrow!

Is it one of those slimline pallet lifters?

I was looking at dropping one in my floor when I poured the concrete but ran out of time.

That lad looks a bit small to be smashing concrete!

not a slimline, i guess you mean the 9cm thick ones with remote pump/reservoar and 2 slim cylinders?

mine has everything under the table,
lifts 1.000 kg, 85x135 cm table, pinch protection, got it for Ģ400

lads are small, but strong*wink*

Bloody hell, your garage must be nice and toasty given the amount of insulation in the floor!

yea itīs almost too warm for hard work,
canīt get it under 18-19C due to the air to air heater not going lower, tried running it in intervalls last winter, but then the outside unit froze solid (condens)
– guess i have to live with it, ha ha
