Breaking out & strip-outthe kit you’ll need.

Breaking out is loud, dusty and hard on kit. A heavy breaker handles slabs by hand; for bigger areas, a mini digger with a breaker attachment does it faster, and a dumper clears as you go.

Questions about breaking out & strip-out

Electric or hydraulic breaker?
Electric (110V) for small areas and indoors. For whole drives or yards, a breaker on a mini digger is far quicker.
