Yes, but...new tools!

Well yes BUT I tend not to buy tools for once off usage.

When I had to break up an old shed base it was cheaper to buy a cheap,
heavy SDS and use it as a breaker than to hire a real one for a day.

I figured if it only lasted for the one job it saved me money.

The job probably took twice as long as it could have - but the SDS is
going strong 15 years later!


A sledge hammer and some exercise would have been just as
effective. Just undermine one corner and give it a wack and
it will break, unless you have a shed with a base made of
6 inch C40 reinforced concrete. Then repeat.
