- Hi everybody and welcome back to another video. On this one i was called back to Paul and Sues place to help Paul break the concrete floors of the existing build that was up. Paul had bought a brand new breaker from Screwfix and let me tell you, I was very impressed with the low priced concrete breaker. Ill leave the link at the bottom for you to check it out.
So this is day 1 and we will return for day 2 with the Chinese mini digger to get the crap out of the slabs and get ready for fresh hardcore and kingspan insulation then the concrete pour.
As ever, i really appreciate everyone who is watching, liking, commenting and subscribing to my videos. I really mean it, you guys are amazing. Please keep it up and share them too. We will see you on the next ones, so stay safe til then.

lots of hard work, thanks for sharing
Thank you Ants Pants. Was a lot easier with 2 breakers on the go rather than just 1. Thanks for commenting and watching bud 👍
Great video boys, I'm sick of paying 600-700 for makita and the lads just abuse them, so I'm buying a few of these bad boys... 👍👍🔥🔥
Hey Gary. The maccalister ones are great. When mine packs in, I'll be going to screwfix for one of them.
Thanks buddy. Take it easy and thanks for watching 👍
I've got a load of pavers and a concrete panel garage that I was thinking about breaking up and using as a sub base for a gravel driveway. Reckon one of those would be the right tool? Thanks
Hey Nic and thanks for commenting, yes I do believe these tools will be great for the job you are intending. Bear in mind them pannel garages will contain rebar inside the concrete. Just be careful with them. But yes a breaker will work great.
Thanks again 😁
@@everydaywithmenick thanks Nick, I'm in 2 minds to hire in a crusher for the day. I'll need to wait and see the size of the pile. Thanks for the rebar heads up, will need to get that out of the way. Cheers
@Nic y a crusher would be most ideal and the nice and compact one that can be loaded by hand is great. We got a quote for this job for a crusher and it was about 3k. Obviously the customer said no chance to that. Yes be careful if using the crusher with that concrete garage. Hope all goes good.
looks like you should have invested in the hammer attachment for your excavator ...it would have paid for itself by the end of that job. keep up the work
Hey Dirty Steez, unfortunately the chipper is a little pricey for the few jobs I'd need them for. But if I'd of got the full package then yes it would've been great on this job. Thanks for commenting and watching 😁
@@everydaywithmenick yeah buddy i would agree... thats what I did was order the whole package deal.
@@dirtysteez1569 for some reason i didnt get the full package, i didnt enquire about it either. An auger would have been good as ive been asked to put some posts in.
Can u use these on grass?
I guess you could if the grass was hard enough. What would you want to be doing on grass with it ? Pounding steaks in ground ?
Buy a breaker for the digger.A machine hammer is pretty fast.
Cheers Scott, I've not had any reason to have one up until this point bud. I may look into 1 if I get more work in for this kind of work. Besides they ain't cheap for the breakers 😔
Thanks for commenting and watching 😁
Why not use the digger to dig out much easier than a spade
If you watch part 2 that will show exactly what you want to see 🙈 thanks for commenting buddy 👍
You guys are working hard there, but two breakers at the same time the noise levels must be horrendous. My ears can't take it anymore, using a breaker inside a small room did them in.
Hi Freeborn John and welcome to the channel. Thank you also for your comment.
So we both made sure we had our hearing protection on. Paul was using ear defenders and I was using ear plug style ppe. You've got to protect your hearing buddy. There's nothing worse that the continuous ringing from Tinitus.
Take care buddy
A heavy electric breaker would be quicker those things will burn out
Whilst I partly agree with you Michael, these things are cheap and cheap never lasts forever. My titan breaker is 6 - 7 years old and still going strong and had some mega work on it. But I'm deffo impressed with that Mac Allister concrete breaker.
Thanks for your comment bud. Means a lot to me 😁
@@everydaywithmenick Just picked up a Macalister 4 weeks old for £100 with receipt.. Not used. Have lots of old concrete fences posts to remove and a concrete slab :) hope it works :)
@@snappyfish if it is as good as the one I used then it will be fine. That one I was using had some punch behind her. Happy breaking buddy
