How Tough is it to Break Up 140 sq ft of Concrete?

Hey everyone! I'm considering renting a breaker tool from Home Depot to demolish my old, cracked 4-inch concrete walkway, which is about 140 square feet and doesn't have any rebar. I'm curious about how hard this task might be and how long it could realistically take if I tackle it myself. Thanks for any insights!

Grab a 10lb sledge, maybe have some beers on hand, and just brace yourself for a rough day! Pain meds and some relaxation afterward will help you cope. You've got this! ?

Honestly, it's going to be pretty tough work. Don't expect it to be fun, especially if you’re doing it solo. You might find yourself regretting your decision about half an hour in!

DazedAndConfused42: Right? There’s a reason people hire pros for this kind of thing!
