Not a marital aid, and not explicitly home repair, I'm looking for a quarry
workers tool. I need to break up a large irregular chunk of concrete (maybe 4x5x2 ft) and I saw a technique on TOH some years ago for splitting granite - called (I think) plug and feather. It involves a line of holes drilled, and a series of devices hammered into each, simultaneously. the devices, a pair of L shaped 'feathers' surrounding a tapered steel 'plug' Anyone ever heard of a source for these devices? The concrete is probably very hard, having cured at the water's edge, semi-submerged. Any source - or better idea - would be MOST appreciated. Many TIA. MF |
