shearing concrete posts

rvgledhill · 3 May 2008

I am knocking down a "60's" style concrete brick wall on the patio. The bricks have easily come down but there are reinforced concrete posts embedded into the concrete patio.
I want to shear these down level with the patio. Is there an easy way to do this and what tools are necessary??

Thanks in advance.

petrol still saw?
9 inch angle grinder with a diamond blade? <--- best bet..

towbar of a car and a wire rope?

<-- bad idea, just meant as a joke..

easy way is either a stihl saw or a sledge hammer to shatter them and then bolt croppers or an angle grinder to cut the rebar down.
