I have a brick border on my patio. I need to get those bricks up so we can pour a connecting slab. What is the best tool that I can rent to do this? I want the least amount of work as possible.

Pick axe is easiest. Long handled one. I had to do the same thing, it’s the easiest tool to use for it

That sounds terrible. You might want to get the wife to draw you a hot bath after that because your back is gonna be killing you.

You should be able to find the right tool outside of Home Depot if you go early enough in the morning

No, want something pneumatic. I am not swinging a fricking hammer like I am building a railroad.

I mean you could always get a bulldozer but at some point you're gonna have to do a little work too.

Most here in the Houston area will call a friend to come get them, if you work them that hard.

I agree, but I need it done by tomorrow and it is only around 8-10ft. of bricks.

Hammer drill with flat bit. Just broke about 30 ft of brick border from my patio. Took about 2 hours with cleanup

Wait, you need a specialized tool to remove 8-10 ft. of brick.

Good Lord.....

Sounds like you need a pair of gloves and a pair of balls

Or I could rent a machine that will do the work for me.
