Scott;
Buy the air chisel, and use it for the automotive stuff. To break up
the slab go to your area tool rental place and rent an Electric
Jackhammer. Should run 25 or 30.00 for the day. It will take forever
with the air chisel, and you may need a new air chisel and compressor
before your done.
Just my 2 cents;
