I've looked at all the options—wedges and feathers, non-explosives, jackhammer, sledge—and the only one I currently have (and is free) is the sledge. I busted up a couple (smaller) rocks last year, and it wasn't horrible.

I'd like to do the drill and feather/wedges for just what you mentioned—I think it's neat to try new techniques/tools, but I'd need a hammer drill, bits, and the feathers/wedges which would all cost ~$100 to buy/rent.

I put that cost up against a new 6x10 inflatable (as compared to the $400 form pads) water pad for $149...and guess which won?!

I would lend you my hammer drill but we’re re-doing our deck right now and need them for screws. I think I could find the wedge and feather set if I looked in my basement tool drawers. Looks like you’re going the JH route anyway...have fun!
