I want to install a floor drain in my basement and was wondering. Because
it would be no more than a 12x12 cut out can I just get a special blade and
use my circular saw?

I'm only half way with you. Sure you can get a masonry blade; if you
get abrasive blades you are going to use up a lot of them. But a std
homeowner's 7-1/4 inch saw will only cut about 2-1/2 inches deep
anyway.

So you (partially) cut out a square - then you'll still need to rent
the jackhammer to break out the rest. Your starting saw cuts can make
the result look neater from the top. But since you will be renting a
tool anyway, plus doing a lot of work in two stages, maybe you could
look into how much it is to rent the big saw needed to do the complete
job in one stage?
