I live in middle TN with plenty of blue limestone. I have a small area of rock that I would like to bust in order to make a new entrance for trailers. Also IçŸ¥ hitting solid rock in my post holes.
I know I could rent an air compressor and drill/pavement buster but IçŸ¥ doing my fencing a little at a time.
How do the electric pavement breakers do? Especially this one at HF: 15 Amp 7 Lb. Pro Breaker Hammer

I had an earlier version of this breaker for maybe 15-20 years. During which with the help of some 3 foot long points, I set a good many posts in ground where they would not pound in. Okay, it will not break through solid rock but then I have worked on jobsites where we had to bring in a rotary rig when an air hammer would not do it.

With a 3 foot point, this tool is a heavy beast which is why I sold it at the flea market this year. My repaired shoulder just is not up to the task anymore. With the HF discount, you can save on the purchase of a high end hammer or rental fees and have a tool when you need it on hand.
