For larger projects like this, I've seen a few people recommend the larger electric jackhammer from harbor freight. It's like the size of a pneumatic one, but electric, and supposed to be pretty decent. Being taller, you might have less back ache from bending over all day
PBRchaeology? Those beer cans were a poor excuse for rebar! With regard to the chisel shaft lube- it reminds me of the case lube used when resizing brass cartridges back when I reloaded my own ammunition. The cartridges expand radially when the powder burns, and you typically use carbide dies to return the cartridge to the proper O.D. If you don't use lubricant, the brass cartridge will conform to the I.D. of the sizing die and be difficult (at best) to remove. I'm guessing that the chisel shaft lube serves a similar purpose. GREAT music!
@@advicevice yes, the garage is really old and is built on the property line, so if I knocked it down the I would need to build a replacement 6 ft back from the property, thus a smaller garage

The pneumatic jackhammers are much more effective than the electric ones, but then you're also renting the compressor.

Is there some weird permitting reason you didn't just knock it down and build a new one?
